Einherjar Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 You guys think Acapolco H.E.A.T. was bad? Do I really need to bring up Baywatch Nights? Now that you mentioned it, weren't both shows on UPN at one time? Since they weren't Star Treks show at the time, I think that says enough. Quote

CoryHolmes Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 My pick has to be "EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT". a "V" knockoff Supposedly written by Gene Roddenbury before he died, and produced by his wife this show was all over the place. It had two different main characters over several seasons, a weird tech guy that always acted like he was high, creepy bald aliens that would be right at home in san francisco, another set of aliens with raging hormones, and a villianous asian guy who might have out done Char Aznable in number of people screwed over/cheated/lied to/manipulated/backstabbed. The thing that kinda really bothered me was in the fist few episodes the main character is trying to figure out who killed his wife when the asian guy openly tells him he did it to make him fit better as a go between of the aliens, and the guys like "umm okay thanks" The first season of EFC was decent enough. It was nicely serialized, had an interesting take on the alien resistance, main characters who didn't always get along. As soon as the first re-tool hit, I exited stage left. Dammit, I liked Boone Quote

Gubaba Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Shame on Shout! Factory for putting the worst sci-fi series on DVD. I love that they make a point that the episodes "are in their intended order." Does watching them out of order ruin the overall story arc or something...? Quote

Dammit, I liked Boone a good first season, or just a single good season out of several does not make a good series, especially if the rest of it is a giant steaming pile of monkey poo. Quote
big F Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Awwww!!!! arrive to the party late and all the good ones are already taken. There was a Dr Who spin off with K9 in it, not the Sarah Jane Mysteries which is/was Dr who for little kids and not that good. Basically what I remember was K9 going around doing stuff a bit like the Littlest Hobo only made of metal, with no decent scripts. Quote
EXO Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Did someone already mention SeaQuest? That show was OK in the first season because it was science driven but then they felt like they had to action it up and it totally crumbled. Plus big fail for the CG penguin. Quote

frothymug Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I loved SeaQuest, until Roy Scheider got replaced with Michael Ironside. Once the concept of aliens got introduced, it was all downhill from there. IIRC, the gear was so the dolphin could swim in deep water. "Talking dolphin" problem? I guess you can complain about the "talking gorilla" in Congo, too... Doesn't seem too farfetched, but that's just me. Quote

I guess you can complain about the "talking gorilla" in Congo, too... Doesn't seem too farfetched, but that's just me. The fact that they had a talking dolphin with scuba gear is literally the only thing about the show I remember. And I think that's because when I was 4 or 5 years old my parents took me to marine world and bought me a toy of it while I was their. It had a tiny orange phone for some reason and when you squeezed the dolphin's fins together it squeaked. I'm not sure what it says about the show when I know I watched it but I can't remember anything about it other than the one toy. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 a good first season, or just a single good season out of several does not make a good series, especially if the rest of it is a giant steaming pile of monkey poo. Au Contre: seaQuest, Transformers, Alien Nation... all had decent seasons out of steaming piles of monkey poo, but were redeemed by those few good episodes/seasons. Quote
Dynaman Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 There was a Dr Who spin off with K9 in it, not the Sarah Jane Mysteries which is/was Dr who for little kids and not that good. Which one, he had two (if the more recent one got off the ground). Back in the early eighties there was "K-9 and Company", where Sarah Jane was given a K-9 by the Doctor. It only ended up being a TV movie rather then a show, and downright horrible it was. The recent show I have not seen. Quote

big F Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) IIRC, the gear was so the dolphin could swim in deep water. "Talking dolphin" problem? ... Doesn't seem too farfetched, but that's just me. Saw a documentary a few nights ago and read an article in a magazine, they both said that they reckon they are only 10 years from being able to have actual conversations with Dolphins. They already understand some words and postures etc. So in that case the show was kinda on the right track. they also had an episode where the kid genius Lucas was lamenting about his CD collection and how he was a kid when they stopped making them, nearly on track with that too.

Wanzerfan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 THIS Houston just started airing this drek in their 8:00a.m. CDT time slot. Tattooed Teenage Fighters from Beverly Hills; DIC's low budget attemt to cash in in Saban's Power Rangers franchise. I call the thing Andy Heyward's Money Pit. Quote

reddsun1 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) There was a Dr Who spin off with K9 in it, not the Sarah Jane Mysteries which is/was Dr who for little kids and not that good. Wait a minute---so you're insinuating that the "regular" Dr. Who is for adults? I'm sorry, but there isn't any argument--rational, empassioned, or otherwise--in favor of taking this show seriously that can't be trumped by the same one-word rebuttal: Daleks. Seriously? "Run for your lives! It's the Daleks!" **Yes, the Daleks! Ruthless, evil, authoritarian beings, bent on the conquest and conformity of all they encounter--er, so long as all their environments have perfectly level, polished floors...** "--Oh noes! Whats we gonna do?! Them Daleks is comin'! --Uh, I dunno! Maybe go up some stairs?" ed: okay, it's obvious I've not had much exposure to the good Doctor. I do have vague childhood memories of the opening credits/theme, a red phone booth, and Tom Baker [the 4th Dr.?] I'm sure in the oh, 30-something-years that they've rampaged across the galaxies on TV, someone's probably addressed these obvious issues. But, still. Edited September 29, 2011 by reddsun1 Quote

From at least the late eighties Daleks have been able to levitate up stairs (that was a GREAT episode! The Doctor and friends finally ran up the stairs (for once), and the Dalek went right up after them(*)). The latest Daleks are show flying all the time.

I figured the onslaught is coming, so I'd best get ready... From behind the couch. Don't forget that we were all SCREAMING "RUN UP THE STAIRS, STUPID!", then they did and the Dalek followed, it was great and we were talking about it for weeks - yes we are nerds... For my money, I found "The Seeds of Death" to be FAR scarier than any Dalek episode... One of my favorites. That and "Planet of Evil", which was the first one I ever saw, and the one where K-9 was introduced, which is great on DVD with the newly touched up special effects. Quote

Naming other shows now is like trying to nominate more movies for last year's Oscars. Quote

That reminds me, is it too late to bring up ALL of the Sid and Marty Croft stuff? Or does that belong under a "Children's shows made under the influence of controlled substances" poll? (Most especially Liddsville) Quote
