what do you THINK are the worst atrocities (other than my sppelling) to face Brodcasted TV?
I'll start with futurama having maybe 5 seasons, while the ****sons are in the 20,000,000th.
And Firefly having one season, never in reruns, it was the best show EVER!
Damn you asinine morons at Fox
-
FOX News...
And maybe Lou Dobbs.
-
Firefly... just, Firefly. How they could have killed such an excellent program is beyond my comprehension.
-
FOX News...
MSNBC
:p
-
MSNBC sucks too, but it isn't at the same level.
It's like the difference between getting your feet wet in a puddle, and drowning in a sewer.

Daybreak getting canceled before ever finishing.
-
Battlestar Galactica
The old one I mean.
-
BSG TOS wasn't too terrible considering its rivals, such as Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon, however the one with the bikes was ****e.

Battlestar Galactica

It's better than this new trash. :drevil:
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*let the flaming begin*

Big Brother and all other reality TV. If I wanted to see people shouting at each other all day long for no good reason I'd spend more time with my family. :p
-
The FCC. Without them we would have some decent reality TV shows. :D
Of course the internet wouldn't never had made it off the ground with those kind of reality shows on basic cable. :nervous:

I second that.
TV is such a wasteland of unwatchable garbage these days.

Thirded...
TNT Network
And cancelling Crusade. That series had so much potential and it was never fullfilled.

Playing two good movies at the same time on different channels on FTA (free to air). No, we don't bother wasting $64*12 a year for pay T.V. that we would hardely ever watch, and we don't by many DVD's. Though I might when I live by myself...but only good ones...
btw soapy shows suck, in general. Some cartoons are boring, while others are allright. Also, playing Shrek 3timesayear is crap when it's always on Saturday night...
-
Does Naruto and Inuyasha count?
Atrocities? Hmm...any MediaCorp TV drama serial. In fact, to add a bit of salt, any drama or comedy show made by MediaCorp TV.
Ah, yes, one more thing...almost all children shows aired.
And add Pokemon too, because it's corny, repetitive, cliched, drawn out and boring. I used to like it, but after they hit seven seasons... :rolleyes:
All they seem to care about these days is teaching children how to masturbate.
-
I don't know how you can call a franchise that's sold literally billions of dollars' worth of merchandise an "atrocity," particularly when it knows its target audience so well. Pokemon was never intended to produce high drama. :p
-
Witch Hunter Robin's ending.

...but it was supposed to teach everyone a lesson on redundancy? :rolleyes:
Look, I used to like Pokemon a lot, and I know it's a kids franchise, but I'm starting to find it a little too repetitive. :blah:

I agree with Kara, Reality TV is just pure evil.

Im going to have to object in the stongest possible turms to AE's mention of InuYasha in this thread. InuYasha is IMHO Rumiko Takahashi's Ultimate Series. Though I'm annoyed that the Anime ended with no resolution, the ending to the Manga was far better than the ending of Ranma1/2.
----
My next nomination: the Last two Episodes of Evangelion and then the End of Evangelion movie
----
Every power rangers series that doesn't have at least 2 of the original six as main characters. - Power Rangers started out good if cheesey in places, and jumped the shark (when changes were made after parents complained that the Lead villain was too evil). However, it was still half-way decent whilst it still had members the original team. Everything after Turbo was rape of the Super Sentai.
Bad Beetleborgs/Beetleborgs Metallics - Suffice to say that by making these two seasons Saban totally raped Jukou B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto. The japanese series was infinitly superior to the **** that was shown on US/UK channels
Masked Rider - Again Saban rapes yet another brilliant japanese TV show. This time the Kamen Rider series: Kamen Rider BLACK RX and the movies Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. - Wont start till next year. BUT going by the track record for American adaptations of the Tokusatsu series; this will a complete rape of Kamen Rider Ryuki
Basically almost everything by Saban except VR Troopers and MMPR S1-3
VR Troopers - Actually this was pretty decent. The premise was far better than power rangers. And it had the potential to be better than power rangers, with a far darker atmosphere. Alas Saban ruined it with tackey humour (Percy and Jeb the Talking Dog) and bad voice acting for the villains. However, for an amalgam of Choujinki Metalder, Jiku Senshi Speilban and Uchuu Keiji Shaider it was pretty good.
:D This is all with out mentioning the glaringly obvious costume differences between the Japanese footage and American Footage. Green Ranger's Armour springs to mind as the most obvious. You be the Judges

Me neither.

They did mention something about Power Rangers being based off Abaranger...
...or are they the same? :nervous:
It started out good, though. :)
What else is there...oh yeah, I dislike anything made by Nickelodeon.
-
Here especially for AE is a coversion list showing which Sentai series coresponds to which Power Rangers series
Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S1
Gosei Sentai Dairanger = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S2*
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger = Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S3 + Mighty Morphin' Alien Ranger (Mini-Series)
Chouriki Sentai Ohranger = Power Rangers: Zeo
Gekisou Sentai Carranger = Power Rangers: Turbo
Denji Sentai Megaranger = Power Rangers in Space
Seijuu Sentai Gigaman = Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy
Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V = Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue
Mirai Sentai Timeranger = Power Rangers: Time Force
Hakujuu Sentai Gaoranger = Power Rangers: Wild Force
Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger = Power Rangers: Ninja Storm

*The Initial MMPR S2 footage involving Rita was specially filmed by Toei for use in Power Rangers. It does not originate from a proper Sentai series. But fans refer to this special footage as Zyu2
None of the Sentai series before Zyuranger were ever adapted for Power Rangers

On topic...Yeah Pokemon oh and every Land Before Time Sequel
-
... Oh wow.
-
I agree with Kara, Reality TV is just pure evil.
No, reality TV is 1000% evil. It's beyond pure.
-
*complete power rangers list*
:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
You definately know too much about this show. Waaaaay too much.
-
@ Trashman
If you like, i could extend it to a complete Super Sentai list, which is even longer - currently there are 32 Super Sentai series.
I happen to like the Super Sentai series. And watching Super Sentai after growing up with Power Rangers, of course im going to know a lot about them. With the exception of MMPR and PR Time Force, I think the original Japanese shows are better. As i said in an earlier post, most of PR is rape of the Super Sentai
Actually, I prefer the Metal Heroes over the Super Sentai...Metal Heroes Series have a darker atmosphere
Metal Heroes:
1)The Uchuu Keiji (Space Sheriff) Trilogy
Uchuu Keiji Gavan
Uchuu Keiji Sharivan
Uchuu Keiji Shaider
2)Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion
3)Jikuu Senshi Spielban <-Second Favourite
4)Choujinki Metalder <-My favorite
5)Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya
6)Kidou Keiji Jiban
7)The Rescue Police Trilogy
Tokkei Winspector
Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain
Tokusou Exceedraft
8)Tokusou Robo Janperson
9) Blue SWAT
10) Juukou B-Fighter
11) B-Fighter Kabuto
12) B-Robo Kabutack <(don't like)
13) Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack <don't like either

Reality TV is not evil. It is just that we don't belong to the audiance it is intended for.
People without a life.

The words "Reality TV" are intechangable with the word "evil"

[sarcasm] The cancelling of Elderado on BBC1 [/sarcasm]
Reality TV? We used to call them documentary's THAT's Reality TV!
-
Thanks, TE. Much appreciated and obliged. :D
That's one hell of a list. Why did they convert every single one?
What other atrocities...hmm...
Can't think of anything else at the moment.
Ever watched We Are R.E.M. and Robbie and the Book of Tales on Kids Central, Stormkeeper?
-
@AE
Every Sentai Series scince Zyuranger has been adapted. However, there were 15 Super Sentai series prior to Zyuranger that were never adapted.
No idea every one since though

*The cancelling of ReBoot on CITV half-way through Season 3. For seven years, i didn't know what happend after Captain Capacitor reappeared. Thank God for youtube when i discovered it.
*The cancelling of ReBoot 2/3 through season 4. I still wonder what would have happened in the lost 4 episodes.
*BS&P's rediculous censorship of ReBoot...

Ah yes, I remember something: Any anime that makes me want to look at hentai.

Indeed! :D

No. I studiously avoid any and all programmes produced by Kids Central. Though I watched We Are R.E.M at one point just because I thought Rachel had nice legs.

You haven't seen her on the street before wearing a skirt that did almost nothing that a skirt is supposed to do i.e provide a modicum of modesty. Calling it a skirt was being charitable. I caught myself wishing she dropped something and then bent over to pick it up.
-
:wtf:
Seriously, if girls wear skirts that high, they should just run about wearing leotards. The miniskirt never has, and probably never will, look good on any Singaporean female, including three of my friends. In anime, fine, but not in the real world.
I feel the way you do too, you know.
What other atrocities are there? Hmm...ah yes. Desperate Housewives.

That show is hilariously awful. Which is what they were hopefully going for.

Anything of the Pop Idol/X-Factor format and the countless clones (Dancing on Ice etc). :mad:
-
Star Trek: Enterprise.
-
The Lone Gunman cancellation
GREAT show, killed once again, by the asinine morons at FOX
-
Star Trek: Deep Space 9
The Cavemen

Atlantis has been on the darkside for some time if I'm not mistaken
-
Star Trek: Deep Space 9
Odd choice given your username.

The name is probably for irony. He must be an ardent Babylon-5 fan
-
Changing timeslots.
-
90% of TV can qualify as an atrocity, the other 10% comprised of Law and Order, CNN, Family Guy, and a very select few FX series.
-
Which leaves the BBC as the only sane thing on Television? :nervous:
-
Anything of the Pop Idol/X-Factor format and the countless clones (Dancing on Ice etc). :mad:
-
I personally think whoever came up with the idea of shows where one person is voted off every week should be shot. Cause they gave the TV companies a way to claim it was legitimate to extend shows like Dancing on Ice past the 4-5 week run they probably would have had otherwise.
So the death penalty is deserved for the crime of making something that was already ****, worse.
-
Hear, hear!

I have to disagree, some women it should be the only attire in their entire wardrobe.
I know 3 personally that can make them look entirely worthwhile and even reasonable in a business environment.

We were talking 'bout Singaporean girls in miniskirts. I used to they looked awesome in it ... not anymore tho.

I never thought they did. That, and tights. :blah:

Excuse me? you do not want to go there, girl. :mad2:
Anyways, the cancellation of Reboot, for anyone who remembers the show.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reboot_(Cartoon)
-
The gap between BSG episodes and splitting seasons into halves....
Firefly got cancelled
John Doe got cancelled
The Flash got concelled
The Bionic Woman got cancelled
Farscape got cancelled
Dresden Files got cancelled
Eureka seems to get very few episodes for a season
Reality TV shows on SciFi Channel in general I find an attrocity when they cancel great shows like above.
-
Are commercials considered an atrocity? :nervous:
-
Nah, atrocity would be a step up for them :ick:

SpongeBob. Actually, most new cartoons really.

Anything post Transformers and A-Team... At a stretch Gladiators was the last real good TV, on TV.
Although No Heroics on ITV2 is good.
I blame america........
-
Don't blame us, we don't vote for television execs....
On second thought, it would be worse, most general populace can't figure out voting to do it right :lol:
-
Sen. Kinsey: Given the chance, half of all [American] citizens won't even vote, and the half that do vote are too stupid to know what they're doing.
Col. O'Neill: Which explains how you got elected.
This in my opinion explains a lot about british and american politics
-

SpongeBob is actually pretty good. Altough the original voices SUCK. No wonder you can't stand it.
I've been watching episodes on a german channel so my encounter with the original voices was a bit of a shock.

Oi Snail, Original UK Gladiators was fantastic.

Channels like ITV splitting up films with news bulletins. It's bad enough having to sit through adverts during a film, but if I wanted to watch the news, I'd record the BBC one!

My mum went to college with him. He was a "nice guy" but a "right wuss" i'm told. No women wanted to go out with him, might be what drove him to the gym.

Well many a time when he would come into the arena, the crouds would start singing "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?"
