    Also, I liked Friends. There, I said it.

    Given it was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1990s, you're not alone there.

    Oh, here's a couple others I bet no one really remembers.

    Honey I Shrunk the Kids the TV Show and Megas XLR. Also, The Mummy cartoon series and Jackie Chan Adventures.

    Honey I Shrunk the Kids the TV Show

    There was a TV show?! How did they sustain that concept for a whole season?

    They used the charecters from the movie but just had the dad invent loads of wacky stuff.

    Having seen the poster, I'm inclined to agree...

    How could anyone hold a gun as big as that?! Particularly the girl, she's holding it as if it were a balloon! Also, my Photoshop skills are a billion times superior to what's on display here.

    All I remember is the sasquatch episode. URGH. That was so bad. I need to rewatch the films though.

    Anyone with the Hub network that would like to revisit it, they're actually still airing reruns of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids TV series right now.

    Now consider this. The kid there went on to play John Connor.

    Pfft... yeah, in Sarah Connor Chronicles. That's one show I definitely disliked along with everyone else. Edward Furlong is John Connor.

    I've heard nothing but good things about SCC. In fact, I know a lot of people who want the show back or at least want a season that actually end the show.

    I watched the first episode or two of Sarah Connor Chronicles. I didn't hate it, but it didn't catch my interest much either.
  • edited July 2011
    it was....okay. It didn't adapt well for a series though. I admit. I have them on DVD and they're alright to watch marathon style, but each season(or half season) is just like a really long movie. That's pretty much what it is.

    Transformers Prime.

    It's definitely flawed in many ways, and as an animation student, I can pick up on so many little mistakes like clipping and timing errors...

    ... but I can't stop watching it. I'm embarrassed and having fun at the same time.

    Re: The Sarah Conner Chronicles -

    A short, skinny, attractive female playing the part of a Terminator... uh, yeah... that's not a stupid concept at all and it's certainly not chasing after the lowest common denominator (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere, 'The Denominator')! Plus she's called Cameron; why, what a witty and subtle reference.
    SC_jody+and+cameron+steal_6036_lo.jpg

    Ooohhhh... scary! I wonder when Skynet started to manufacture their midget range of Terminators..

    Before anyone brings up the female Terminator in the 3rd movie as justification; I thought that was stupid too.

    Still, to each their own I guess. Seriously, I'm not attempting to change the views of the show's fans (as if I could), I'm just expressing my own personal distain for the series.

    I actually agree. I hated that aspect of the show...and don't get me started on the flaws of T3 and that Terminator. I liked the show's villains though. The T-(whatever 100s; I didn't follow it that closely) from the first season was alright and Shirley Manson was a good T-1000 in the second.

    I wouldn't call myself a fan, though. I've only watched the episodes once and they were....okay.

    It's official, Terminator 5 is in production and I've got the scoop on the latest machines designed by the fearsome Skynet...

    Prepare for the onslaught of the T-OL. He'll terminate your sorry ass with catchy ditties of morality.

    The dreaded Bulimic-Bot 3000. After asking you whether you think she's got a fat ass; she'll vomit synthetic, acidic puke all over you and dissolve your sorry ass.

    Beware the T-War-Wick, he'll climb up inside your sorry ass and cause all kinds of untold damage.

    Look out! Here comes the T-Tiddles, this is one mean puss who'll break your your sorry ass... and your heart.

    Actually, I know that I'm a hypocrite for saying this but I agree wholeheartedly.

    I know, tell me about it (I mean that figuratively, I really have no desire to hear the intricate details of the contents of your bladder)! Take the mocumentary format of The Office, add the celebrity satire of Extras and throw in a heap (or should that be a pinch) of Warwick and you have the recipe for the greatest sitcom of all time.

    I've said it before on these forums; nobody does comedy as well as us Brits. We might be shite at a great many other things but when it comes to comedy, we are the best there is.

    If you want to see another fantastic British sitcom whilst you wait for Life's Too Short then I highly recommend 'The Inbetweeners' and also 'Peep Show'.

    These are both dirty, disgusting shows and I second the recommendation for them both.

    Did you know they're making an Inbetweeners movie? The main actors are all in their mid to late twenties now!

    Oh boy, are you in for a treat. Also, check out Steve Coogan's 'Saxondale' and 'Green Wing'.

It's also worth noting that the character of Tommy Saxondale is in essence myself. So if, for some bizarre reason, you want to watch a sitcom starring yours truly then look no further.

    Haha... yeah I know about the upcoming movie and can't wait. It's a bit of a running joke amongst the cast that they're all portraying teenagers with stubble.

    Okay, I'm through screwing around with you little children. I've told ya all before; quit filming my grisly, murderous foibles because it's incriminating! If you don't behave yourselves then I'll fetch the mighty skinning rake from out of the rusty shed and inflict it's endless torment upon your miserable souls one thousand times over.

    Sleep well tonight kiddies and remember that the Peering Creep lingers with his pertruding knife fingers extended at all times. Nighty night.

    If one is to make such a bold statement then one should almost certainly be capable of backiing up said statement. If you desire to place the proverbial raids back onto the track, then you should absolutely positively present your magnificent argument forthright.

    Just how obvious is it that I'm full of Doggy Do-Do at this precise moment. Heck, I'd buy that for a dollar, and the rest of you. *hick*
