Yuk, with that description I would never give Jeremiah a chance. /ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif It's actually quite amusing that you describe it like that because it in no way resembles 90210 except for some actors. /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif

Uh ... *looks around* nope, still looks like Toronto, Ontario, Canada to me ...

SPACE is airing Farscape here, and they are just about to start showing season 2.

I even said in brackets that i'm waiting Canadian TV to show SG-1 beyond season 3.

What made you think i'm watching in the US? All these shows (well, except Jeremiah which i get on tapes) show in Canada on cable, pay and sattelite TV.


And Com, about Buffy:

I'm going to adjust what you wrote abit ...

"I can't for the life of me see what is so good about Babylon 5. I have just seen about 5 episodes, but that was quiet enought thank you. Bad writing, bad acting, mindstageringly silly stuff and Aliens that look more plain stupid than fearsome."

That is what your statement is equivalent to from my point of view /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif .

Buffy is alot like Babylon 5. If you want to do the show justice, start at the first episode and let it run.
Just keep in mind the show's season 1 is weaker compared to the rest of the series, then B5's season1 is compared to the rest of the series. Unlike B5, which got really strong by the end of season 1 already, Buffy doesn't until about 1/3 though season 2.

Btw, the show is no more about Vampires then B5 is about 4 embassadors in a tin can in space all trying to out-scam each other. Sure the Vampires are always there, but they are metaphors, and they are not the primary focus of the show. Buffy Summers and her friends' journey through life is the primary focus of the show.

Try watching to the end of season 2, and if you still don't like the show after seing the 2 parter season 2 finale, then you just don't like it. But please don't judge it on 5 episodes. that wouldn't be fair to the show. Just like judging B5 on 5 episodes wouldn't be fair either.

No Buffy isn't *quite* as good as B5, but it comes really close.

Thanks for the info. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif Yes, your right. I will have to make a more thorough investigation of Buffy. When I get the time… (like in three years time when I have finished my studies). /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

Really close? Well, that I actually still have a hard time believing. The only thing that comes really close in my opinion is Farscape. But I guess I will have to watch it before I pass judgment.

Smile along!

No new B5? Well, thank god for the Sundance Channel, and the Independent Film Channel. I guess I'll confess that I like Six Feet Under too, even if it is just an intellegent soap opera.

With the extreme dissappointment of the lack of a Rangers series, the cancellation of Family Guy, and the probability of ruining 24 after this season (I'll start a thread on this in the Other Shows forum), my TV viewing will be limited to Simpsons, Beat the Geeks on Comedy Central (somehow, I became addicted to this show), finishing up the X-Files (which has become more torture than entertainment), watching Ozzy stumbling around on MTV, and occassionally catching Conan of Maher on late night. Basically, I have given up on television.

I'll just dedicate more time to my two great loves in life: sex and music.

Family Guy being cancelled sucks big time.

I have heard 24 IS going to run another season --- this time with Kevin Bacon in the lead role.

Simpsons. Yea I still watch it, but its getting painful to watch that lately. It gets worse and worse IMO.

I also agree about XFiles. I am finishing it out, but man its harsh. I guarentee all of you that the finale will be disappointing and will resolve very little.

Jeremiah and 24 are the only shows I look forward to these days.

 

[StarForBram]

Will I be hated if I say one of the few other shows I watch these days is "Watching Elle"?

Hated? No. Questioned? Yes.

Give it a try. The show has a real twisted sense of humor.

What the heck is Watching Elle? Never heard about it!

[GKarsEye]

Com, Watching Ellie is a sitcom starring Julia-Louis Dreyfuss, most famour for her role on Seinfeld as Elaine. I haven't seen it myself, but I understand that it is in "real time" with a clock on the screen.

This is the third and latest in the string of sitcoms starring Seinfeld characters. The first one was the Michael Richards Show (Michael Richards = Kramer), the second was Bob Patterson, starring Jason Alexander (George Costanza). They both flopped, and that last I heard, Ellie is headed in the same direction.

I don't know if I should feel sorry for them or not. On the one hand, they seem doomed to failure, as they are quite possibly the most type-cast and therefore creatively restrained TV actors around. On the other hand, they were on what was possibly the single most successful sitcom of all time, so screw them. /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

 

[hypatia]

But on the other hand, one Kelsey Grammer (sorry if I have spelled his name incorrectly) made a huge hit out of "Frasier" which was a spin-off of "Cheers".

I give them credit for trying. It's a tough business they are in. I would never EVER try to survive in it. I would wilt in one day.

You have to be tough, and you have to take chances in their business.

So fooey, MGKE! /ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I guess I'm the only one here who actually loves Enterprise.
**SIGHS**

Well anyway, Stargate, Enterprise, Farscape, E:FC, Andromeda

 

[channe]

Enterprise is hooey.

I'll be watching The West Wing, Farscape, Everybody Loves Raymond, and coming up with my own version of how Rangers could have gone... /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

Alright! /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif Thanks. Don't think I have missed anything then..

hyp, what's your point? Did I even say anything about Frasier?

Sometimes you people are so eager to attack me, you don't even know what you're attacking. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

The fact is, I like Frasier. In its prime, it was the only sitcom I ever watched on a regular basis besides Seinfeld. If nothing else, it is unique: wereas many other sitcoms are about how stupid people are, Frasier is about how smart someone is. Where esle in TV can you sympathise with someone who is cultured, intelligent, and successful?

However, the show went downhill ever since Niles and Daphne got together. Last night, I totally forgot about it. I haven't seen it in a while. It's past its prime. The show should end this season with a big wedding episode or something.

 

[channe]

Frasier is a masterpiece of a modern sitcom.

So is Everybody Loves Raymond. I howl with laughter every single time. They have some great writers on that show.

Who need a total babe when we got a character like Susan Ivonova!! Rather one character with Susan Ivonovas personality than 10 babes a'la Seven or T'Pal. It wasn't for nothing you could rename Voyager to Voyeur after its third season.


Asimov. Aaah... the SF writer of my teens. Very good novels. He was never that good on characters, but epic storylines.. Yes!

Dune.. I actually just quit after the 2:nd. The 1:st was simply mindblowing exelent. The 2:nd was crap. I've heard that they get better again down the line. But I've never gotten myself to read them.
