Writer's Block: Gone but Not Forgotten
bah.. buffy was one of those shows best watched while on mute..
much like the show charmed, any britney spears video, and desperate housewives..
the dialogue just gets in the way of masterbation fantasies that they envoke
MST3K though..
that show was perfection from day one (wish I had been lucky enough to live in Minnesota when it first came on so I could have been blessed to see it from K-01.. since no copy seems to exist for posterity)
MST3K is so infectious that from the day I say it.. I was forced to mock and belittle stupid movies, often times having to bite my lip while at a theater to avoid talking out loud
what boy didn't want to build himself robot bestfriends?
true.. they tried to kill Joel on occasion.. but Croooooow and Tom Servo only did that out of boredom, not hatred
The sets were minimal..
the writing was always superb..
and it always made me wish that I had worked at Gizmonics Institute.. ya know.. just cleaning up the place
it wouldn't matter if my bosses didn't like or shot me into space
cause in the end..as with Joel and Mike.. everything would be alright
(with the bonus of having robot friends)
other shows that are gone but not forgotten..
Firefly..
gawd damn it.. I wish I had watched it when it first came on
wait.. no.. no I don't wish I had watched it when it first came on, cause if I had watched it from day one..
then I would be even more pissed off that Fox (in its infinant stupidity) canceled the show
I can see it now..
scene: Fox Scheduling Center meeting room.. in attendance are a bunch of lack-witted morons that have difficulty figuring out how to operate an escalator
dipshit 1: ' whats this show, Firefly'
dipshit 2: 'its a science fiction show with an unbelievably loyal and ever expanding fan base'
dipshit 3: ' whats it about '
dipshit 2: ' ummmm.. space? '
dipshit 4: ' so its like Star Trek? '
dipshit 2: ' errr.. no.. not at all '
dipshit 3: ' so its like Star Wars '
dipshit 2: ' errr.. no.. not at all '
dipshit 3: ' so.. what is the show about '
dipshit 2: ' umm.. spacey stuff '
dipshit 1: ' what you are saying is that its not a reality show. '
dipshit 2: 'no, no its not. '
young intern about to be fired for not being a dipshit: ' actually, Firefly is one of the most original science fiction based television shows in years. each character has a rich and multi-leveled history that is slowly being explored, the writing is beyond belief, the actors and actresses are wonderfully talented and genuinely love the show and fans, the backstory is indepth, and the sets built are rich and outragously intricate. '
dipshit 1: ' who the hell are you?'
young intern about to be fired for not being a dipshit: ' oh, I'm just an intern. I'm currently studying film and writing. '
dipshit 1: ' so go get us more coffee. '
young intern about to be fired for not being a dipshit leaves meeting room
dipshit 1: ' have him fired, thrown out of school, and ostracized from the entertainment industry.'
dipshit 3: ' already being done, sir.. excellent idea.'
dipshit 2: ' why fire him and ruin his life.. for speaking out of turn? '
dipshit 1: ' no, he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.. we can't have that sort working here or anywhere.. our jobs wouldn't be secure then. '
dipshit 3: ' very true, sir. '
dipshit 1: 'so, back to the show can we make a reality version spin-off? '
dipshit 2: ' you mean like Survivor: Firefly.. or.. Firefly Idol.. or Big Firefly.. or Road Rules: Firefly '
dipshit 1 hurridly writes down the ideas just put forth
dipshit 1: ' yes, those sound excellent. '
dipshit 2: ' no, I don't think it can be made into a reality show. '
dipshit 1: ' oh, thats too bad.. cancel it. '
dipshit 2: 'what about the fans? '
dipshit 1: ' forget them.. they don't pay our salaries.. advertisers do and advertisers want reality shows. '
dipshit 2, 3, and 4: ' excellent, sir! '
dipshit 2: ' shall we sacrifice more babies to beezlebub or club baby seals for fun? '
dipshit 1: ' why not both.. we just canceled one of the greatest shows ever.. how much more evil can we get? '
dipshit 2: ' we can feed the babies to the baby seals before we club them while giving the go ahead for yet another stream of judge judy spin-off shows and hire even more incompetant goons for our cable news network. '
dipshit 1, 2, 3, and 4: ' excellent!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. evil is fun!!! '
Oz was good.. but.. ran its course
Deadwood was good.. but.. it to ran its course
Babylon 5.. awesome show.. a sci-fi show that wasn't star trek in a time when it seemed like a sci-fi show HAD to be star trek. I hated to see it go, but the story had finished.. but damn.. it was good
Arrested development.. I don't know what else they could have done but.. damn damn damn damn damn I hated to see it go. saying 'holy shit this show is funny' is an understatement
of course there are other shows that I miss..
there always are, since they remind me of my childhood
but they don't really stand the test of time very well
Nix
