Vyce 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Joss Whedon is not overrated......well, maybe a little bit, yes, but not that much. "Firefly", however, is probably the most overrated show of the past five years and absolutely does not belong on this list at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 For me, Im having a hard time figuring out whether the show was canceled by the network or just ended too early. As for one of the only shows on that list, Homicide: Life on the Street, I think its on a cable network. I want to say A&E since they are the ones releasing the DVD sets but Im not sure. Season 4 of 7 comes out next month. As for shows I liked that got canceled, I gotta be the only one to have actually watched Push Nevada because I liked it. I think the majority of people (small number) watched it just because of the money giveaway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 I want to be quite honest here because I'm really sick of this... Family Guy, while funny, is so obscenely overrated it's sickening. Clerks: TAS was a funnier show and was screwed over ten thousand times worse than FG was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Murder One is still the best show ever that was cancelled. The 2nd season, while nowhere near as good as the 1st (which is easily the best single season of any TV series in history), was still better than 99% of the stuff on TV at the time. It's a real shame they couldn't keep together the full season 1 cast for an extended period of time. I'm not sure there was ever a better group assembled for TV anywhere. As far as this list goes, while Homicide being on there is a bit strange given the length of its run, it was one of the best shows of its era. The crossover episodes with Law & Order were some of my all-time favorite TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ulfistgut 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Twin Peaks was cancelled? Yup, leaving Coop possessed and so on. All though I may have missed the point? Terms aren't quite the same over here as they are there, would Cancelled mean if the show was cancelled between series (i.e more episodes not wanted) or cancelled mid series (ala Clerks) Even more of a shame was we lost out on the prospect of a Lars Von Trier directed episode (as was the idea for Season 3). But yeah, Clerks gets a nod too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted February 27, 2004 10. "The Tick" (Live version) - I only saw a few episodes, but I loved them. Bad time slot if I remember correctly. Fuck Fox. 9. "My So-Called Life" - Heard of it. Never watched. 8. "The Ben Stiller Show" - Never saw it. 7. "Sports Night" - Great show. 6. "Firefly" - Good from the small amount of episodes I watched. 5. "NewsRadio" - Very good show, though - like the others, never watched much of it, just a number of episodes. 4. "Family Guy" - One of my all time favorites. Get the DVDs baby! Can't wait for the new episodes and new movie. 3. "Homicide: Life on the Street" - Never really watched. Though, I did see the Law and Order/Homicide crossover movie. 2. "Freaks and Geeks" / "Undeclared" - I LOVED F&G. Gotta get the new DVD coming out. Great show. 1. "Mr. Show with Bob and David" - Never watched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"NewsRadio" 4. "Family Guy" 3. "Homicide: Life on the Street" 2. "Freaks and Geeks" / "Undeclared" 1. "Mr. Show with Bob and David" The only two shows on the list that I cared about their cancellation were Family Guy (awesome beyond words) and Undeclared (not my favorite show, but I was starting to watch it regularly). Where the fuck is Andy Richter or FUTURAMA on this list!?!?!?!?!? Let's hope Arrested Development (my favorite new show for the 2003-4 season) doesn't join the list! /me marks for Carl Weathers appearance (and Liza Minnelli was shockingly decent in her role) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest thebigjig Report post Posted February 27, 2004 I dont get the love for Clerks... the cartoon or the movie. The movie fucking sucked... great dialogue, but the acting was attrocious... the only redeeming factor was the Silent Bob spoken line: there's a million fine looking women in the world, but they all dont bring you lasagna at work... most of 'em just cheat on you Aside from that, I had a hard time finishing the overrated piece of shit Family Guy > Clerks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2004 I disagree with you there. I don't see what's wrong with Brian O'Halloran or Jeff Anderson's acting, really. And I'm sort of in the same boat as Rudo. Family Guy was really funny to me, oh, two, three years ago. Now it's just eh. The episodes don't hold up well. Oh, and Undergrads was pretty funny, primarily Cal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Bah, I've found to like Family Guy more funnier than the Simpsons, especially after more than one viewing. And for those who say Joss is overrated? Who saw Toy Story? He helped write that one and that is a classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigjig Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Clerks actng is horrible... rushed dialogue with no emotion or feeling by every actor... near the end it gets better, but I was laughing at just how bad it was. I've seen it twice... once a few years ago. I HATED it then. I gave it a second chance two weeks ago when I bought it, and while I dont hate it as much as I did, I still find it a waste of time, although granted, considering it was kevin smiths first... it couldve been worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can it be the first time that someone's heard that Family Guy was overrated when there's a few of us that say it everytime someone references the show? The show was good, but not great, and certainly doesn't merit the deity-level status that it receives. And I don't get how NewsRadio makes this list ... by the time that it was canceled it was barely watchable. I think if a show is on long enough to go from being great to bad, then it ran it's course and shouldn't be viewed as 'canceled'. It should be viewed as euthanized.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2004 For it's time Family Guy was much funnier then the Simpsons...but there's no way they could have kept up a long run. So overall the Simpsons is the far better show. I just couldn't see talking about Family Guy in 10 years about new episodes and whatnot. Clerks just didn't work for me. I loved the movie, but I can really understand why it didn't pick up on cartoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
