Random Thoughts on Classic Styx vs Carrot Styx

[sadie65]

you know, I liked the old TV show cus it didnt take itself too seriously

I can think of few other shows that perfected the art of being cheesy and likeable at the same time.

Great lords of derailing threads Robin! Quick...to the bat cave! We must stop the Riddler before his various jokes totally derail the continuing of our dead horse community!

Loved that show as a kid. Kerblam! Kapow! Zoffo!

LOL, I remember watching the Monkees all them time!!!

My vote for the "real" batman is Adam West!! I loved that show too!!

Here we go again, around and around - wheeeee

I vote no Styx reunion, that's my opinion at the minute. I may change my view in an hour or two - LOL

Yeah, but it's so much fun! Now . . . if I can . . . just reach . . . . . the anti-centrifugal . . . . . . . . bat-clamps . . . . . . . . . .

OOps....Batman vote. Close but Adam West I think is my first choice. That show was a camp classic! Close behind is Michael Keaton. The others are just posers!

No way! Posers...come on now. Before you know it, you'll be telling us the second Darren on Bewitched was the best one!

Adam West rules!

Whoa now! You can take sides in the DDY vs Gowan thing all you want, but DO NOT mess with Trek!

I loved the original; Star Trek ! that I can still quote it into my 40's is testament to how often I watched it.....

By the way, do you think the "extra's" who beamed down to the planet with Kirk, Spock and McCoy knew they were doomed ??? the mortality rate for those crewmen was awfully high, don't you think ?

I often wondered if the crew's life insurance agent cancelled their policies before they beamed down !

Oh yeah, curse of the "red shirts"...it always went something like....

"Captain! I found something over here......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Then:
"He's dead, Jim"

Did you ever see Galaxy Quest? TOO funny. So many Trek references...the one "extra" was always bemoaning the fact that he didnt have a name cause everyone knows....all the nameless guys always die! lol

Never saw that one, it may be time to head to the DVD / Video store
for a rental....

Tim Allen, Sigourny Weaver, Alan Rickman, et al. It makes fun of the whole genre, including the conventions, but you can tell it was made by fans. I think you will like it.

The original Star Treks are the best! In a strange way, the predictable deaths, horribly fake-looking props, and wooden dialogue only enhanced the Trek viewing experience (and still does to this day, at least for me)!!!!!

[bugsymalone]

If you were ever a Trek fan, which I was, original series and The Next Generation, "Galaxy Quest" is a MUST see. Absolutely laugh out loud funny all the way through.

(Hope no one minds that I'm still rambling on about old shows since we're way off topic anyway)! I'm just curious, is there anyone else out there like me, as in: Are you more likely when channel surfing to sit and watch a few minutes of a 20 or 30 year old show that you've seen a 100 times versus trying something new? (And I'm sure there's some great new stuff out there)!! Anyway, that's me to a tee. I shudder to think how many times I've watched episodes of Star Trek, MacGyver, Batman, and Columbo, in particular! Yikes

Nodding in total agreement. There are many that when I come across I find I watch. Even when I know the dialogue by heart. I wonder what that says about us...don't answer that

[Abitaman]

I will do that with movies, I have a good collection, and my wife said we jsut watched that a few months ago. And I'll say "well its good, or I would have bought it."-ERIC

Errrr, obviously from someone who hasn't watched Dr. Who.

[Monker]

South Park completely rips off Star Trek too. They have parodied entire episodes and picked characters out and placed them in their series. Too funny.

But, you're right about Galaxy Quest...it is to Star Triek what Spaceballs is to Star Wars. Also Red Dwarf has their share of Trekisms.

Guilty as charged, Monker.........Don't know why, but that series never
hooked me.
