That would be annoying.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
his dream-self is a stand-in for Actual Radioactive Dude
I don't know why Simone would run toward him with a desperate expression on her face if it were the Radioactive Man.
I've come to the conclusion that it *is* probably Peter. Someone on LJ speculated that Nathan was coming toward him with the grim expression, not because Nathan was evil or anything, but because he planned to grab his about-to-go-nuclear brother and fly out of the populated area. I have to say I like that idea.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Vonnie, yeah, I'm quite attached to that idea myself! *loves on the Petrelli brothers*

All is well that ends in pizza.
Fawlty Towers also had a pilot so bad that it's rumored that all involved committed suicide soon after.
Fawlty Towers was remade without the Basil Fawlty character. John Cleese got paid just looks stunned when he recounts the meeting where they announced that the American version would not have Basil.
Hmmm, According to "the internets" there were two American shows:
There were at least two attempts to reproduce this tv series for American audiences. In the first (Named "Snavely") only a pilot was produced and the program was not picked up. The second one ("Amanda's") only lasted for 6 episodes in 1983.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Daniel ... better make that three attempts. Three was a '99 attempt starring John Larroquette called Payne. [link]

With Bea Arthur in for John Cleese. Ponder that one for a second.
I recall hearing that way back before the series changed considerably (i.e. during development), CHEERS was supposed to be an attempt at doing FAWLTY TOWERS. But I may be conflating the other failed attempts with Cleese's actual appearence(s?) on CHEERS.

Actually that was the one where they wrote out Basil. Bea Arthur was supposed to be Polly.
Head still spins.

More so, actually. I could see her doing a distaff Basil type. She'd also make a good Sybil, but Polly? Does not compute.
