Bob: Is this legal?? just curious

and how do you download, all I see is text

[Rictor]

strictly speaking, yes. Suprnova doesn't actually link to any illegal files, and no one here is even linking to supernova, only discussing it.

how do you download, all I see is text

[Rictor]

you need to have bit torrent installed. just google for it, or you can download shad0w's client here: http://bittornado.com/ , which is a better client than the default.

Thanks

Well yeah, but since "they" and "some idiot" are actually the same person..

[color=66ff00]Not true, Irvin Kershner did an excellent job on Empire and Richard Marquand did Jedi so 'they' are much more than Lucas.


Oh yeah.

Well, if you call Angel canceled, then, well, offf course.

[ZylonBane]

Uh, Angel was in fact cancelled. A shame too, since now we don't really have anything decent in the tongue-in-cheek-heroes-fighting-monsters genre.  Xena, Hercules, Buffy, and now Angel... alas.

Anyway, I agree with a lot of what's been listed so far-- Futurama, Duckman, Zim, The Tick (animated), Brisco County Jr., etc.  Great stuff. Now for some more obscure ones. Most of these fall in the "ahead of their time" category.

1. Max Headroom. Alas, too geeky and dystopian for American audiences.
1. Doctor Doctor. A proto-Scrubs starring Matt Frewer (see above).
2. FM. A proto-Newsradio starring Robert Hays (Airplane!).
3. Quark. The adventures of the crew of a space garbage scow. Sci-fi spoofery a full decade before Red Dwarf hit the airwaves.
4. Police Squad. Sad that so many people don't even realize the movies were based on this short-lived series.
5. Get a Life! Starred Chris Elliot. Too surreal to live. The only series you'll see where the star encounters an ET-like alien, accidentally kills him, and eats him.
6. Liquid Television. MTV's last good animation show. Well, that and...
7. Daria. This is how highschool would have been for me if I'd been female. At least this series got a proper sendoff. Its cancellation officially ended any reason for me to ever tune in to MTV.

I know. Sad really as the shows were great. I especially loved the way the guest star was always dead before the titles were over.

And in case anyone is wondering what a space garbage scow looks like:

[adwight]

Space Above and Beyond, that show kicked complete and total ass.

Roughnecks:  The Starship Troopers Chronicles, sadly it ended after one season, I wanted to see what happened to Earth and stuff.  I do have all the episodes on tape somewheres.

Pfwaaa.

Gah, how could I forget about the Roughneck Chronicles. (For all you other RC fans, here is an excellent site http://www.roughneckchronicles.com/ )

And, yeah, Beast Wars was never cancelled, it had an official end, then they decided to do Beast Machines which got cancelled, IIRC. I liked Beast Machines, a lot of others didn't, but I think it had potential.

You're missing the point. The space garbage scow in Quark is supposed to be ugly. It's also supposed to vaguely resemble the old Star Trek style of ships (which actually weren't so old at the time!).

[Nico]

Well the toybox are ugly too, but in a cool way. Your thing is ugly in a ridiculous way. Honestly, that's out of thunderbird, right?

Sigh. Anyone remember the days when people would actually read threads before responding to them?
