The Metal Maniac Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Was Clone High some sort of Asian import or am I thinking of something else? I think you're thinking of something else. I'm pretty sure it was an MTV show, about this school populated by the clones of various famous people. I really wish it had gone on for more seasons, just because there's so many potential jokes you can make when basically every historical figure ever has a reason to be on your show.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Posted November 28, 2006 I enjoyed it. Anybody who doesn't get the connection in the final scene didn't deserve to watch the finale in the first place. Plus, Elaine telling Puddy "Don't wait for me" and Puddys immediate "Ok" was fantastic. Yes to the Puddy thing...but I don't follow the final scene connection. Can I assume what you mean is that they faded out talking about the very same thing they series began with? Yup. In the first episode Jerry and George are discussing the merits of the placements of buttons on a shirt and which buttons are key. Same thing with the four of them sitting in the jail cell to end the show.
daileyxplanet Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 New Statement: Curb Your Enthusiasm is 100x funnier than Seinfeld was, on a bad episode.
Ginger Snaps Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 New Statement: Curb Your Enthusiasm is 100x funnier than Seinfeld was, on a bad episode. Agreed. Most underrated show? Blade: The Series. Basically zero acclaim, but it was better than 95% of the dreck on TV. I liked that show. It started off slow but got better as it went along.
NoCalMike Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 I agree with the Curb Your Enthusiasm statement. I don't know if it is suddenly "cool" or not to not like Seinfeld, but I honestly always thought the show was overrated, not a bad show, just not nearly as funny as people made it out to be, and I always felt NBC did a good job in artificially making it "the show everyone can't miss" That is also why I found myself shocked when I discovered Curb to be THAT damn funny to me. Anyways, I also agree with the Blade comment. The series started off a bit slow, and being on Spike of all channels possibly hurt it, but according to reports, the ratings grew every week, but I guess not enough to get a second season....I really enjoyed the show and hope possibly Sci-Fi or another network gives it a second season.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Posted November 28, 2006 Diagreed. CYE is like Seinfeld if they stopped caring about having good writing and trying to connect to the "real" world.
bob_barron Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 It's George Costanza if he was rich and married
J.T. Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 New Statement: Curb Your Enthusiasm is 100x funnier than Seinfeld was, on a bad episode. No way, Smart will always beat Wacky. Cuz wacky gets old. Most underrated show is Sports Night. Sorkin at his peak, and that is saying something. Plus Sienfeld gets all its love for a reason, because it reached all types. Young or old, man or woman. You could all love Seinfeld for one reason or another.
NoCalMike Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Ok new statement.... Cheap Seats > Daily Show
bob_barron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Even though TDS is overrated, you have bad taste in TV
Justice Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Ok new statement.... Cheap Seats > Daily Show Agreed. I loved that show.
Narcoleptic Jumper Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Carnivàle >>> any other drama ever to be on television. Six Feet Under and Deadwood are close.
Red Baron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 I did love Carnivale from what I've seen from it. I need to pick up the first season when I get a chance.
Narcoleptic Jumper Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 If it weren't cancelled and had been allowed its full six season story arc that it was intended to have, it would have transcended television and become the greatest piece of fantasy cinema/television/literature/whatever to ever be created. that's just my opinion, though.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Posted November 29, 2006 I'll agree with that one. The finale of season one of Carnivale might just be the best hour of television I've ever seen.
razazteca Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Ok new statement.... Cheap Seats > Daily Show Agreed. I loved that show. It's not a hard job making sarcastic remarks about tv filler anybody can do what the Skylar twins did and do it better.
Toshiaki Koala Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Statement bound to be shat upon but which I believe with every fiber of my being: Xena: Warrior Princess is the best television show of the 1990s.
Red Baron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Hercules was much better than Xena
BorneAgain Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Statement bound to be shat upon but which I believe with every fiber of my being: Xena: Warrior Princess is the best television show of the 1990s. Eh, I found Hercules: TLJ more enduring.
Red Baron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Statement: Captain Sisco is better than Captain Kirk, but not as good as Captain Jean-Luc Piccard.
In Credible Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Ok new statement.... Cheap Seats > Daily Show Agreed. I loved that show. It's not a hard job making sarcastic remarks about tv filler anybody can do what the Skylar twins did and do it better. It's the Sklar brothers and they were hilarious. They had some really funny sight gags as well. I saw their "series finale" I wonder if it really is over. It must have been cheap to make to begin with.

razazteca Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Statement: Captain Sisco is better than Captain Kirk, but not as good as Captain Jean-Luc Piccard. Well both Sisco and Piccard were sort of demi-gods themselves! Sisco became a religious leader for the planet Bijour being able to talk to the profits and Piccard had the Q following him everywhere putting him on trial for the evils of the human race. Kirk was more or less James Bond in space....having romantic relations with every known female in the universe and fighting the evil terrorist along the way.
Toshiaki Koala Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Hercules was much better than Xena Both were awesome, no doubt. "Resurrection" (the one where he goes to Ireland and gets his ass kicked by that red-haired chick) might be my favorite single episode of TV ever. Having watched both recently, however, I'd say Xena holds up better, and the characters still resonate more with me.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Posted December 8, 2006 New statement: The first season of Lost is the best first season of any tv show, ever.
the max Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 New statement: The first season of Lost is the best first season of any tv show, ever. 24: Season 1 begs to differ. Its slow points are highly surpassed by the utter BELIEVABLE (key word) greatness of Jack Bauer. Plus, it has arguably the best season-ending moment in the last 10 years.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Posted December 8, 2006 I'll take the light coming on in the hatch with Locke pounding on it's doors as more of a "HOLY SHIT" moment then anything that happened in season one of 24.
Guest Starks Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 New statement: The first season of Lost is the best first season of any tv show, ever. LOST Season 1 was good, but had some filler in the mid-section and a terrible conclusion. Carnivale Season 1 is the best 1st season of show IMO, it knew exactly what it wanted to be, had HBO's full backing, swung for the fence and succeed brilliantly. Ron D Moore (BattleStar Galactica) was the show runner for season 1 - he left before Season 2 began, and while better then most things on TV, the show really lost some magic. The final 20 minutes of the season 1 finale "The Day That Was the Day" is one of the best conclusions to a season ever made. The conversation between Ben Hawkins and "Management" is absolutely captivating. Carnivale season 1 is a testimate to what genre television can be, I hope the Preacher series that is in development can equal its lofty heights.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Posted December 8, 2006 Ok, I might have to reconsider my remark. I hadn't thought of Carnivale. The finale of season one might be the best hour of tv I'll ever see in my life and the last ten minutes had me literally on the edge of my seat.
