Quote:We'd have to put the Star Wars and Star Trek countries far apart from each other, lest wars be started by the more intolerant denizens of either country.Originally Posted by Blarg
Nerdocracy.
Where WE rule! And every country would be based off a certain fandom! If you are a fan of something, you MUST move to the country that represents that thing, to not disturb the people around you!
Star Wars, for instance, would have a huuuuuuuge population.
Cottage Cheeseland, however, would be much smaller. Hard to find many die-hard fans of cottage cheese. -
Those ladies are clearly anti-nerdists. They should be sent to sensitivity training forthwith!

Asimov's Foundation government. You've gotta love a governing body that already has its future planned out (barring interference from rogue psychics).

Quote:Scooby Doo got Mama Cass to do an episode? NOOOOOOOOO!Originally Posted by Zombie Man
You know that Venom would bite off his head the third time he launched into a What Up With That riff.
Scooby Doo meets Cass Elliot*
*I'm young and uneducated. Who? Answer: Mama Cass from the Mamas and the Papas**
**You're just making that up, now aren't you, old man? Answer: Get off my lawn!***
***Speaking of grass, you know, they were all high as a kite while recording and then lip syncing those songs.

Also,
Captain Kirk's death in Generations.
They build up how important taking risks are to living life, and how Picard needs Kirk in order to win the battle, and after all that what do we get?
He throws a few punches, quips a joke, then falls to his death when the scaffolding beaks under his weight.
Really? Seriously? -
Quote:And how. I wish the fight between Tex and the Meta lasted longer, that would've been some seriously awesome epic bada**ery.Originally Posted by Hazmatter
They hired the guy behind the "Haloid" short onto their staff. I'd say it's paid off.

Reading about rice makes me want to share a stupid easy and quick way to make stroganoff.

Quote:Yeah, there's been a few times when I've wanted to discuss the latest news from a hotly anticipated Star Wars property with folks here, but we can't. The new rules really toad the wet sprocket.Originally Posted by Night-Hawk07
(Side note, the new rules are crap. There have been several occasions lately I've wanted to ask a video game question, or have a discussion on one and the remember "oh right, we can't do that anymore".)

Quote:Well, you could arrange for Washington to fall into the hands of the Crusaders branch of the Resistance. They'd probably break his legs to keep him from escaping and torture him for information, but he'd still be alive. Ish. For a while.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
But there isn't really a plausible solution to that mission, apart from the one that's already there.

The auto-targeting Vulcan is cool, but I'm more impressed by the GPS bus notifier thing. I could've used that in middle school, when I had to ride Utah's abominable public transportation system home from school (seriously, never ride the bus in the SLC area, they turn ten minute trips into hour and a half ordeals, if you're lucky).

Quote:How'd they get it past the censors? Simple. Even censors love cows with Crabs...the Warthog.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar
I still don't understand how they ever got Cow and Chicken passed the censors! It was all about butt jokes with characters that wore no pants, even the non-anthropomorphic ones. Most of whom took every opportunity to moon the viewer with their fat, glistening male booties.

The sad thing is that Hershey/Nestle/Mars have convinced the American public at large that chocolate is supposed to taste that way.
-
Quote:That's not surprising, given that most chocolate sold in the US is not the highest quality. For my money, nothing beats imported German chocolate. It's so smooth and creamy and rich and it has none of the bitter aftertaste that you get with Hershey.Originally Posted by Impish Kat
And chocolate is almost always the way to a woman's heart, Crim. lol...
I say *almost*, because when I was younger, I actually didn't care much for chocolate. Later in life, I discovered that it wasn't chocolate *per se* that was the problem... but rather it was my tastebuds... I like the expensive stuff (go figure). lol -
AHHHH! Kill it! Kill it with FIRE!

Quote:It's the American way!Originally Posted by Cantatus
Amusing. So, instead of them trying harder to compete with HBO, they'll just move HBO to a separate awards show so broadcast television can continue to wallow in mediocrity. Good plan!

Quote:This is true. I wish I could've found a clip of his reaction to when Rhoda redecorated Lou's living room, it is far and away my favorite Lou moment ever.Originally Posted by Cantatus
I knew what that video was going to be before I clicked it. But, come on, Ed Asner is always awesome.

Feh, Blackbeard. That guy was all flash. Bartholomew Roberts, now there was a pirate.

Quote:Yeah, Mary Tyler Moore did have all that going for it. But, again, I must point out the awesomeness that was Ed Asner's Lou Grant.Originally Posted by Cantatus
Yeah, I think that's especially true for a show like Mary Tyler Moore. For its time, it was fairly cutting edge in that it was actually showcasing a societal change - women in the workplace. It was the first show to have a single independent working woman as the star. (I always found it amusing that Mary was originally supposed to be a divorced character, but the network was afraid people would think Rob from The Dick Van **** show left her.)

Quote:He'll probably have a somewhat freer hand to work on his show, since cable/satellite networks have looser censorship standards. Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.Originally Posted by Obsidius
In a day and age where broadcast networks are asking the Emmys to have two different award ceremonies (one for broadcast networks and the other for cable TV) because their shows win far fewer awards then cable TV shows, I think Conan has a good chance, actually

Quote:I'll chime in for Seinfeld. Never liked that show when I was growing up, and I've never understood the appeal of it. Unfortunately, my dad loves Seinfeld.Originally Posted by Agonus
Odd list. And yeah, most of those are generational things.
No Seinfeld though?
As for the list, the only thing I have to say is, how can anybody not like Mary Tyler Moore? Even if you don't like Mary, Ed Asner's Lou Grant was freaking awesome.
M*A*S*H is one of my all time favorites as well. I'm not to fond of the later episodes when it adopted a more serious tone, but pretty much everything with Frank Burns is pure gold. Thinking about the phrase "Air raid! Air raid!" never fails to crack me up. Oh, also Colonel Flag, I loved him.Quote:Originally Posted by Arnabas
M*A*S*H remains one of my favourite shows of all time. My wife grew up in the Philippines and never really knew the show, so I borrowed my sister's DVD collection and we started watching it. Most shows that I loved as a kid kind of... suck... when viewed now, but I found M*A*S*H just as funny today as back then. -

Now we are going to get Batman vs. Batman debates with a whole lot of planning involved.

Quote:If you have a good internet connection, you can catch full episodes of the Venture Bros. on the Adult Swim website. I believe they've started re-posting fourth season episodes, beginning with Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel.Originally Posted by Failure to Sense
This is the only time I wish I still had cable. Well this and the new Futurama that Comedy Central has been pimping out.
Without giving away too many details, can I ask if Sampson is still in the show? The way he left after season 3, is he just out of the show entirely or is he on like a walkabout?
