I don't really think firing Charlie Sheen is such a big deal. He sucked.

Of course ever since the show stopped he has slowly became a hero the rest of us can laugh at.

Im not sure but I dont consider the forums a source of entertainment personally. I do find some of the posts entertaining but the forum itself is just a message board. Its the caramel and nouguty filling in the snickers bar that makes it good not the wrapper!!

Bad ideas in entertainment:
Oprah
Disney on Ice
The reality network
Lady Gaga
Corporate radio

For a game that requires as much clicking to make things happen to have to click a few more places in the forums shouldn't irritate the collective carpal tunnel syndrome of everyone who reads and posts on the forums.

p.s. WKRP still funny in reruns. All spinoffs are junk.

Eh. He was entertaining, and I don't care about what he's doing in his personal life, even if it is very public. He was fired because being a reckless drug addict is a huge liability for something that's relying on your being available to do things...like film new shows.

And on this note, I think of two of the worst ideas in entertainment:

1 - Gratuitous product placement

2 - Making movies based on video games, or making video games based on movies; both seldom work out very well

Okay, I'm sorry but Double Dragon was the greatest cinematic achievement of all time, and there's never been a bad Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game...

I'm actually serious about one of those things...

So they were afraid he would not be available to film new shows so they fired him and NOW they can NOT film new shows...

Not sure if that was the best move on Lorre's part...and breaching of CONTRACT!

Duh...WINNING!

Anything on Adult Swim that has the taint of Tim and Eric (or similar humor styles). "Its funny if you're high" is not an excuse. The Newshour with Jim Lehrer is funny if you're high.

Glee. Yes, i went there.

So thats what happened... I was wondering why Adult Swim lost me. I was enjoying it back in the 2000's when I would get home from work about when it started and enjoy the first set of comedy rolling over into action. Futurama, Harvey Birdman, Venture Brothers, Lupin the 3rd, Big O & Cowboy Bebop probably my favorite lineup I ever saw on there.

Good times, no High.

Yeah, that would not fly. One of their best, but earlier ones like Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets are better than the Black album.

Why can't we just all agree, and change it to "St. Anger" EASILY the worst one D:

HUGE fan of the Venture Brothers and bebop, Big fan of Futurama, thought Harvey Birdman and Lupin the 3rd were fun, and didn't quite "get" Big O. I strongly agree that Adult Swim has lost its way, though.

My personnal best : the Star Wars movie 'borrowing' ideas/models/etc from another film project and having such a success...

Oh gawds... I'm having painful resurfacing of traumatic memories i have buried to keep my own sanity...

Can we add the 4th Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones and the Death of a Franchise, i think it was called?) to the list? Bad movies are bad. Bad movies that destroy cherished childhood memories and a legendary cinematic legacy are worse.

Ah time to start an argument neither of us could possibly win .

The Black Album is the best Metallica Album ever .

I just cant agree. But yes if you like softer music I can see how you would say that. If you actually listened to metal or thrash then Im not sure you would see it that way. The Black album wasnt much of a metal record let alone a thrash record. But it is catchy and radio friendly. Hence why fans who merely dabble in the heavier side of life tend to enjoy it. Though in its defense My friend of misery has one of the best basslines Metallica have ever written.

OP. I would put the some kind of monster dvd and Saint Anger over the black album. That and Metallica firing their best song writer Dave Mustaine. Granted the rest of the thrash world won on that because he founded Megadeth. Who have been writing better music than Metallica ever since.

Ditto Firefly and Enterprise (and the comment about the Nazis), and Jar-Jar.

Add to that canceling Sports Night - great show from the late 90s.

[Elaril]

Cancelling Veronica Mars and Heroes deserve honorable mention as well.

Great show,
Another one that got no love was Davis Rules (Jonathan Winters is awesome funny)

I personally loved Home Movies, and was equally ecstatic about Metalocalypse. As shockingly violent as it was, it happened to be equally clever. I wish they had continued with either one.

[justhavinfun]

Sorry but IMO the absolute worst idea is that it is ok to remake all of the most popular movies ever filmed.

Wait my bag that would actually be a lack of ideas.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Well you can not have the other series without the original.

I love TNG...NOT in the first couple of seasons...seasons 3 or 4 I think is when it really took off for me.

Same with DS9...DS9 in the lase few seasons was dark, gritty, the cap was cool and I liked the various inter-personal relations.


If VGR was filmed with the captain AND her coffe AND A PALL MALL...then I would have gotten that series....


YES ENTERPRISE was...gone too soon!

I though TNG took off in season five. Although I liked all of it.
DS9 was great after Worf came over. Unfortunately the one thing I did not like about DS9 was the Bajorins(sp) Which was a major part of the show. The bad guys were awesome.
Voyager had a crew I did not like. (except the Doctor...and Tuvok.) But was actually a good show. if you can overlook Janeway. Once they got into Borg territory there were many very god episodes.

Enterpise. Got great in the middle of season 3. And any old ST fan would love season 4 IMO. Sadly that was the last.



Funny to me that all four of the NG STs took about four years for the actors to really develop their char's roles. Yet TOS got their chars down in only about three shows!

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Yeah I actuallypersonally have no problem with Sammy Hagar...5150 has some great releases/singles, again though a certain edge was lost when Dave left the band.

Eddie Van Halen seems to be the difficult one to work with.

They were still a very good band afterwards.....just different.
