Like what, 90210? Saved by the Bell?
Well, I suppose the Degrassi shows would qualify, but I don't see Hex as their logical next step.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
ok , so I didn't hate hex. But it really doesn't have anyrelationship to Buffy , except that it is real world ( ha) girls meets the supernatural world and has to save the world. So they are the same genre - but , um really that seems to it.
If it is close to anything it is more like a serious version of Charmed.

Bwah! I just started reading the TwoP recaps for Farscape, and I think Couch Baron and I will see eye-to-eye on the show based on this:
Over at the Fleet of Eevil, Blonde Underling tells Crais they've got the image of the pilot. When they see Crichton, Blonde Underling is like, "He's Sebacean!" Yes, he is. By the way, I'm really looking forward to the end of summer, as it's been in the nineties for weeks, and that's way too Sebacean for my tastes.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Are they actually going to recap the whole series? Someone said that on one of the Tubey's Kids threads, and I wasn't sure if it was true or if someone was just mistaking getting their own forum for getting a full season(s) worth of recaps. I couldn't find an announcement anywhere.

I don't know... I would think it odd that they gave the show its own multiple-thread forum in the "current shows" section rather than just an individual thread elsewhere if they weren't going to continue the recaps. Strega did one of them, so I'm sure she's the most likely to have the full scoop.

Yup, all of it will be recapped. Eventually.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Colin Baker is in about the same shape as Tom Baker, though I don't imagine there's much clamoring for a return of his particular Doctor in any event.
Oh, poor Colin. He had a pretty shitty time of it, iirc, and God knows they gave him the most irredemably stupid outfit. But I rather liked him.
I think I'm allowing my bitterness at any British show that compares itself to Buffy to poison my enjoyment of Who.
Um. Why "any British show"? (And, look, Buffy is my fandom of choice, and Whedon owns my ass - but BtVS fandom has NO seniority card to play over Who. NONE. DW has decades of storytelling in a range of media. It doesn't need to try to be anything else. The brand was established way the fuck long ago, and DW is very much better known and established in the UK than BtVS is. Generations of kids grew up with this. Good, bad, risible, scary, whatever the hell - it was there first. If the guy who brought it back from the dead is a Whedon fanboy as well as a Who fanboy (and is responsible for Queer as Folk) - I'm just not seeing how that's a bad thing. YMMV.)
...is this about Hex?
'course, I haven't seen Hex. I'm still rather tempted, but not enough to want to pay money for the priviledge. I used to quite often catch As If, which was a UK teen show from the same creative team, and with one of the same actresses. I really enjoyed As If. It was like the anti- Dawson's Creek. Which isn't to say it was perfectly realistic, but (and granted it's about my culture in a way that neither Dawson's Creek nor Buffy is) it was very much MORE realistic (albeit perhaps rather more stylised) than DC. Funny and dramatic and what have you, but the kids do swear and shag and do normal kid things.
Um. So I'd be quite interested in seeing Hex, I think. Although it sounds like it's got very little in common with Buffy, certainly, beyond genre.
