I'm not! They say it all the time on tbs. God I wish I had Cable!

(praying to god that I get cable...)

You know what spider that's a good point I think the show would have lasted longer though if the actors/acressess hadn't gotten tired of it.

This is what I hate about American TV shows. They frequently start out well, have great 1st and 2nd seasons, but they stay around too long. As a result, they start to go down fast and hard. Hell, one reason I like anime is because your average anime series is short, and has a definitive ending. No being dragged out, no inconclusive plotlines.

Tis true.. some of the best stuff has been in short runs.. Even B5 was overstretched with the 5th season...

Okay like??? for example???

 

[markpud]

well cos they tied up the whole Vorlon/Shadow thing and deposed president Clarke at the end of season 4, so job done. But cos it was popular they had to make up a 5th season and carry it on...

not that the 5th season was bad, but it was an add-on...

 

[Asmiley]

Okay. well when do you get the season premeire because I'm just dying to talk about it with you!

 

[markpud]

I assume you mean Buffy season premiere, cos there are no more premieres of B5 which we were talking about, or Sliders which we should be talking about in this thread

 

[Asmiley]

Yes I was asking about the buffy premiere... wait a minute this is a sliders thread!

Still think the Quinn Merging thing was wrong.

 

[markpud]

Buffy premiere - January...

Quinn - orig was better, but the actor left so they had to do something...

 

[Asmiley]

true but they could have had him like on the last ep. one ep can't be too hard. They could have made it so quinn was finally quinn again.

 

[markpud]

yeah that would have been nice.

 

[Asmiley]

I' mean give me a little credit here for pointing out that they should have been smart about it anyway.
