** The state of Television ! ** Your Views
>>Do you think that there is too >>much ‘gratuitous’ in modern shows (not >>just sci fi). Is LEXX for instance tame or >>over the top?
LEXX came close to the top, but it never went over it. We could use a show or two that did indeed go over the top.
>>What sort of TV shows would you like to >>see?
I want to see non-trek. Shows that arnt totally test marketed towards kids. Lets have a few adult shows for cripes sake! We grew up on both good and bad sci-fi aimed at all audiences, so lets have one geared towards the 18-40 crowd.
>>Name the shows you consider bad
Farscape: Too many muppets, bad jokes and not enough FX, recycled cast/crew, im waiting for some cute little kid to be cast next.
Earth Final Conflict: Theres a reason why Gene didnt push hard to get this show made when he was alive, it sucked then, it sucks now.
Space (Above & Beyond): Space Marines fighting aliens that you never saw. Too much human development.
Basically sci-fi shows should ditch the “human” development, or keep it at a minimum. Give us aliens, space fights, mutant turmoil, decent FX, ect. The last thing I want to see is someone breaking up with their boyfriend 50 zillion light years away, or that turmoil of “being human” crap.
Id rather see shows with no humans at all. whos to say were still a species in the future?
>>What are your fav. shows (and why)?
Lexx: Full on bizarre, no show can touch it.
ST(DS9): Great storyline, epic battles towards the end of its reign, original enemies.
Southpark: crass, gross, way over the top bathroom humor, often highly offensive.
