The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 You call a lesbian witch struggling with an addiction to magic and a problem with overcompensating to help others as well as trouble expressing herself bland? A vampire who tortured and killed people for over two centuries but then was cursed with a soul and if he ever has a true moment of happiness he is reverted back to his evil self which he hates, who is in love with a teenage girl struggling with the fact that she was chosen to fight vampires and other demons and has isolation problems, BLAND? I call that really fucking stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Oh and by the way, The Critic. It was the Family Guy of '95: concentrated goodness that wouldn't have been so loved if it lasted longer. Also: Mid 90s Simpsons was a lot better, what was running alongside Family Guy sucked in comparison and made Family Guy look even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 I never got into the live version of Tick, though I'll have to Netflix it to judge fairly. My So-Called Life I can't really cry over, as it gave way for a lot of really good (and really good, albeit) teen dramas. I never got enough experience with Ben Stiller and The Mr. Show, but from what I've seen, I've liked. I fucking hated Firefly. Just couldn't get into it. Here's my list, in no particular order: Family Guy, Homicide, Freaks and Greeks, Undeclared, Fastlane, John Doe, Andy Richter, Boston Public, MSTK3000, Off Centre, Clerks (fucking awesome, by the way), Becker, Daria (would've liked to see the show taken to college), and a few others that I'm surely missing.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 No love for Erie, Indiana? For shame people, it starred the guy from Hocus Pocus for crying out loud! Also was The Adventures of Pete & Pete cancelled? If so that might get a vote from me in the write-in section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 How the hell could I forget The Critic? Thanks, TCR. That show got shafted by two networks (ABC and FUX, as in fucks up anything not named Simpsons, reality shows and immediate hits), a cable network who shows its reruns late at night (Com. Central) and shockwave.com! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Boston Public was on its last legs and it was moved to Fridays. After the move it was on Friday for at least a few weeks, but then it disappeared. The Critic was cancelled because it was too smart for it's own good and went over the head of midwestern humanoids. This is also why I'm surprised Arrected Development is still alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Did Boston Public survive past the season premiere? I remember watching the season premiere after a LOT of hype and never found it again. It lasted until last month and was removed for Feb. sweeps. It looks like it won't return back, since they ordered 15 episodes (aired 11 so far, but will air other stuff for rest of season, may play other 4 + series finale during summer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the weird thing is, I just heard it'll be renewed for a 2nd season. that's because the head of Fox is HIGH on it and it's it's #1 critical hit... That's how Sports Night survived two seasons dispite shitty ratings... I'm expecting them to try to stick A.D with The O.C Somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like how it fits in that Sunday block. And if they did you said, I'd have to choose between Smallville or A.D. (which Smallville wins). BTW, are they bringing back Oliver Beene after this season? It's much better than anybody gives it credit for (Andrew Lawrence, the only good Lawrence; and Grant Shaud, who plays Oliver's dad, both absolutely rule) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 28, 2004 24 has more of an audience that may be interested in AD than The O.C. AD should just follow The Simpsons. Sunday is Fox's comedy night and always has been it seems. Unless Fox is just running off the unaired episodes, Oliver Beane seems to be Fox's midseason replacement show. I agree that it gets sold short by nearly everyone and I think it's because it's so much like Wonder Years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 28, 2004 The O.C is Fox's biggest show going right now...Not 24. Hell, 24 might not have a 4th season anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Yeah, but I can't see being the lead in for The O.C. as helping AD. The majority of The O.C.'s audience aren't going to be into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Hmm.....I just saw a tentative 2004-5 Fox schedule....Beene's gone and Boston Public hangs on AND moves to Wednesday before OC.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Putting Boston Public before The O.C is a good idea...as they will likey EASILY slip American Idol 4 in that spot for the winter/spring season... Why is KOTH still around and same with 70's Show? 70's show should be DONE now (since they lost kutcher anyways)... Also is Fox's Saturday Night (cops/AMW) the longest lasting primetime lineup ever?

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 28, 2004 70's show should be DONE now (since they lost kutcher anyways)... Next season will be the final season. Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace agreed to do one more season. Is The Boondocks a cartoon of the comic strip? Cracking Up and Wonderfalls both have potential. American Dad sounds kinda stupid, but I'll give it a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 Is The Boondocks a cartoon of the comic strip? Apparently it is. Dayyyyyyyy-um. I don't know if that'll transfer well to a cartoon. But it's a damn good strip, and Baby Blues and Dilbert were decent cartoon shows for meh comic strips.....so, I'll definitely look forward to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't really complain, it looks good! Sunday 9:30 American Dad (Seth MacFarlane's new project) Monday 9:00 Wonderfalls Wednesday 8:00 Boston Public Friday 9:00 The Jury Awesome, for the most part. I'm hoping that MacFarlane will be able to make another awesome project. Wonderfalls (a very funny and weird dramedy that is having its premiere the second Friday of March) and The Jury (another fucking cop show) look to only be getting picked up if they do well in their midseason runs. No idea when The Jury will actually premiere, or if they have enough faith in it to start it off on Friday nights next season. And by the way, talk about some GREAT lead-ins. At least Fox finally realized (partly) that they'll never be satisfied with the ratings for a Thursday or Friday show. Boston Public LIVES!!!!!! YES!!!!! Holy shit. Fuck NWA TNA up their asses until the midnight replay! YES!!!!! I wish they'd just let Bernie Mac die. My Wife and Kids, which isn't that good in the first place > Mac. I'm actually anticipating the WB's predicted line-up for 2004-05. I stumbled upon Grounded for Life last night, and shockingly, the show's actually very funny. What's the source for this, by the way?

And by the way, to whomever praised Oliver Beene, I have to partially agree. A lot of the jokes are way too campy, but I did enjoy this one. Oliver's looking at the palm of his hand.

Yeah, there was another campy but funny scene with Oliver on a bus with a thermos of pea soup: *Oliver fumbles with soup, gets it open, some spills on shirt and the thermos and cup fall out the bus window into another car* Kid: What happened to you? Oliver: I.......uhhh lost my lunch. *looks over to car, which has sped away* Kid: OLIVER THREW UP! OLIVER THREW UP! And there was something in the same episode about the backstory of a kid named One Nad Fitzsimmons.

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 I read the plot for American Dad, and it looks like Seth either has a smash or another Family Guy-esque cult favorite on his hands. If the promos say "From the creator of Family Guy..." I don't know if I will mark out or place a curse on Rupert Murdock and company. Probably both. Arrested Development is one of the funniest shows on TV along with Scrubs and Monk. Everything on Fox's Sunday lineup is good except for The Simpsons. Although I did laugh a lot when Homer did the dolphin impression last week. Cancel Bernie Mac. He's way overrated, as is his show. I also heard that The Jury isn't a cop show. It's got a different cast every week playing a jury deliberating on a case. Could be interesting. Oliver Beene is great. It's like The Wonder Years meets... um... something much funnier? I loved it when the gay kid's dog blew up. It just seemed so random. Oh, and hooray for Boston Public. Vey good show. I also hope The Practice comes back. James Spader has completely OWNED that show since joining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
