Simon ,'Objects In Space'
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.
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.
Vonnie, yeah, I'm quite attached to that idea myself! *loves on the Petrelli brothers*
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.
Maybe Hiro ends up fighting Lostzilla.
Hah! I said the same thing to a coworker today!
Daniel ... better make that three attempts. Three was a '99 attempt starring John Larroquette called Payne. [link]
The second one ("Amanda's") only lasted for 6 episodes in 1983.
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.
With Bea Arthur in for John Cleese. Ponder that one for a second.
Actually that was the one where they wrote out Basil. Bea Arthur was supposed to be Polly.
Head still spins.
shrift! Have you seen the latest episode of you know what?
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.
shrift! Have you seen the latest episode of you know what?
Yes I have! And you know who continues to be blindingly hot! And Rodney continues to be the princess he has to rescue, which always pleases me.
