Personally I like Lost, 24, Prison Break and FOX's Sunday night cartoons like the Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad.

You?

1. 24
2. Family guy


prison break sucks because they always END it right before you know what happens, which sucks


"We Run" what a crappy way to end it

Akirakorn, that is simply amazing list. Way to mess with heads! And I agree with much of it.

Currently, my favs are: HOUSE!!!, 24, Hell's Kitchen, Prison Break, and American Idol (yes, it's one of my guilty pleasures). So yes, Fox owns my soul. :lol:

I'd love to watch more of Monk and The Closer but haven't really had the chance with all the 360 I play.

Also, randomly, my favorite cartoon of my childhood is super obscure and was canceled after only a single season. It was called "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors". Anyone else remember it? God I loved that show...and it's nigh impossible to find all the original episodes... :cry:

Wow...Quantum Leap.
The memories. Loved that show to death. =)

Also a die hard Transformers fan; looking forward to the movie next year?

Hmm, I watch a lot of Comedy Central. I mostly like their 30 minute shows in the evening, like South Park, Colbert Report, Daily Show, Chappelle Show, Mind of Mencia, etc. (except Reno 911)

I also watch some MTV shows like Yo Mamma and Viva La Bam, among some others.

Another frequently watched channel is G4. I like Attack of the Show and X-play but not much else.

I do watch lost, just not on ABC. I rent the season DVD's one by one so I can catch up with the series. I am hoping to finish of season 1 soon, right before season 2 comes out to DVD. When the third season starts I hopefully will be caught up to watch it on TV normally.

I know what you mean about 24 being a love/hate thing...but you just can't stop watching it. :lol:

And by "Whose Line" I assume you mean the original which was far and away the better of the two. Drew Carey ruined that show because he tried to be "one of the cool kids" and join in at the end...but Clive was so much better because he intentionally stayed out of it and mocked them! Josie was my hero on that show...one of the few that could easily "play with the big boys". :lol:

Anybody else seen/like that old British Comedy show "Black Adder". It starred Rowan Atkinson in one of his best performances, albeit much less famous than "Mr. Bean." Black Adder is easily in my top ten as well.

I admit I never saw the original Whose Line. I HATE the part where Drew joins in. :)

I love Black Adder and Rowan Atkinson in general.

I also failed to list The Office, the original British version, not the US version (which I haven't seen).

You're forgiven for not seeing the original Whose Line (but you should seek it out). Obviously a LOT of the same people did the Drew version, but Clive Anderson is a great host.

Rowan is amazingly talented, both linguistically funny (Black Adder) and physically funny (Mr. Bean). I grew up on Brit Coms and Monthy Python so I love stuff like Lenny Henry as "Chef" and Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in "Jeeves and Wooster" (those two are quite the comedy duo :lol:).

My sin I guess is not having seen The Office which I have only heard great things about.

Sounds familiar, what's it about? I do remember Turbo Teen though. :)

...and Pole Position, Mr. T and those gymnast kids, M.A.S.K., Qbert, Sonic and Friends...

"We Run" what a crappy way to end it

I forgot to comment on this:
- yes it sucks that then end it right before something happens...but that's typical, especially in 24!
- but the "they just RUN" ending of the season is the WORST EVER! Mainly because anyone that watches COPS knows that if there is a helicopter in the air and you try to run...it's not gonna work. They do have IR cameras on those things to find your heat signature...duh. And it definitely won't work if you're running over some crazy wide, completely *empty* field. I mean, c'mon people...I can only suspend my disbelief so far! They better redeem themselves this season.

@Akirakorn
"Jayce" was about a boy (almost a man) Jayce whose father, Audric, was researching a way to create plant life on barren planets...but his experiment went wrong and he created "The Monster Minds" who were led by Saw Boss (yes, a lame name for a guy that transforms into a vehicle with a giant SAW on it...) Essentially, the Monster Minds are these giant plants that spawn these crazy organic vehicles that attack Jayce and his father. His father and Jayce both escape but they are seperated. So Jayce uses the ring his father gave him (Ring of Light, Magic Might!) to try to find Audric (along with a rag-tag group of wanderers he picks up along the way, of course). It's one of those heartbreaking one step behind his father type stories. But it's all about the massive vehicular combat.

Ring any more bells?

You know, I can't remember at all. I do remember it was produced by DIC...but it was so long ago (read: early-mid 80s). Apparently, the show was actually created because a toy company had these cool toys but they thought no one would buy them without a tie-in cartoon show. Ironically, the show was much better (IMHO) than the toys, although the toys were pretty cool...I just couldn't afford many of them. :cry:

The logo:

Here's some more info on the show: http://www.wheelies.net/intro/
There's even some videos there (didn't check the links to see if they still work though...).

Here is Jayce's vehicle "Armed Force" in toy form:

Yes, I'm a total dweeb. :oops:

Aww, hell yeah I remember that one (the Saw Boss got me). Wow, I've been totally outclassed on Obscure 80s Toons. <bows to new master>
