Ah. A man after my own heart. (Like all of the above, except "The Green Green Grass" because I don't know it.)

(My most recent new favourite is Deep Space Nine.)

The Green Green Grass is a spin off from Only Fools and Horses

You got that right.

I watched that.

It was ok, but I'm not really a fan of spinoffs.

Hmm.... I guess if people put some real effort into a spinoff, it can be good. And if it's good, then it's worth watching.

Unfortunately, the makers don't often put enough effort in.

Fortunately, though, people seem to be putting more effort into spinoffs and sequels than they used to.

1. Mystery Science Theater 3000
2. Beast Wars
3. The Venture Brothers
4. Aqua Teen Hunger Force
5. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

The last one I only know from the six episodes Scifi Channel aired last year, but I could watch them nonstop for a week and never stop laughing. Anyone in the UK know if number six was really the last one?

That's the one!

From the current schedule:

#1 w/out question Boston Legal waiting for 3rd season dvd Sep.18th pre-ordered allready. Yeah MysteryFan3!! !
#2 Beyond Tomorrow anything on the Science Channel really
#3 Simpsons (of course I'm waiting for the DVD of the movie to see it)
#4 The Daily Show/ Colbert Report
#5 Deadliest Catch, cause I know some fishermen out there. None are on the show through.
#5b. Also love Mystery Science Theater 3000 when I'm in the right "Mood" for it,(I live really close to Matanuska Valley) think my own remarks are funnier sometimes of course.

When asked what's the greatest show of all time, I have no choice but to say MST3K, for one simple reason: In a society where more and more kids are being left babysat by the TV every day, that show teaches something more important than anything on Sesame Street or Nick Jr. Don't just passively accept the garbage that the TV craps out at you - fight back just hard enought to pierce the BS and see the greater truth, and you too can acheive love through cynicism.

That's my philosophy. Transformers is closer to my "religion". I didn't list the old TF cartoon though, because to me "Transformers" is an amalgamation of several cartoons and comics since 1984, and I slightly prefer the story in the comics. Beast Wars, however, is a part of that whole, and #2 on my list since it's a strong enough stand-alone show that it doesn't require as much rationalization.

And, since Aqua Teen was already mentioned, I really should have replaced it with "TV Funhouse" as my #4. Comedy Central apparently axed it after only 8 episodes, but Robert Smigel crammed so much into them that I have yet to see anything more innovative and hilarious on so many levels. So many guys I went to college with would endlessly quote and discuss it that I'm convinced it primed our generation to take to Adult Swim as quickly as we did. AS should seriously buy the rights to it and make new episodes, now that they have more live-action shows and they're losing "Futurama".

Top Chef, hands down
Iron Chef America
Clean House
ANTM
Lost
Pimp my ride (it's never on anymore though)

Love the reality shows.
Spent one lovely day watching "Charm School" which was a reality show of Flavor of Love rejects. Made me glad to have AS, I tell ya.

I forgot one!
Coupling

Is that the British or the American version?
