Not sure if anyone remembers the old SNES / Genesis Star Trek: The Next Generation game, but I wrote about it and actually included a link to play the game in your browser in case you want to get your nostalgia on. http://www.geeksnack.com/2015/05/10/great-games-star-trek-next-generation/
Over the last several days, I saw several people complaining that their favorite tv show was cancelled. If the show didn't have shitty ratings, it wouldn't have been cancelled.
Doesn't make it less sucky if a TV show you like gets cancelled. I didn't watch any of the shows that got cancelled but I would have been bummed if Parks got cancelled in Season 3 and "it got shitty ratings" wouldn't have cheered me up.
I had several friends that complained that the mindy project got axed. It barely got renewed for the 3rd season but some people think it might get to the magical 4th season for syndication money.
I have bad luck with shows I actually enjoy getting cancelled. Ironside, Taxi Brooklyn, Resurrection, etc. There better be a season 2 of Secrets and Lies or I will be highly upset.
That's the reason why I wait a month or two before watching most shows before I start watching it. Only exceptions this season was how to get away with murder and gotham which I really wanted to see
Fuck that. The majority were independent contractors. You think your average stormtrooper knows anything about plumbing? All they know is killing and white suits.
I'm not watching because I don't have the network and can't (be bothered to) find it online but I'd like to state for the record that Gertner's schtick doesn't hold up in the slightest.
I feel bad for Sting. He turned them down for 14 years and when he finally went for it he was treated pretty well and enjoyed the experience. Now he wants in and they're pretty whatever about him.
The network is such a mess. Even Univision and CW are starting to draw bigger. I love they moved their highest rated scripted series (Blacklist) to make room for a new show that failed and Blacklist has been plummeting against the Thursday opposition. Vintage NBC
The Voice and SNF. The NFL isn't exactly stretching anyone's programming muscles at the brain trust and The Voice has a shelf life as all these competitions do. Without hit original programming, the future is still going to be bleak on the nights Tom Brady and company isn't playing.
The Voice still has some years left in it. The move to Blacklist was because Thursdays are a sought after night for advertisers and they had to plant their flag. They just gave it no support.
And they were smart enough to bid on football. NBC is fine once they shore up Thursdays and if they can ever figure out what to do once SNF ends
Boners.
ReplyDeletePut an hour into Knights of the Old Republic. That game has definitely not aged well. Still fun tho.
ReplyDeleteFinishing up my second run through Daredevil. I love Vincent's Fisk voice, it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteDICKS
ReplyDeleteHis whole portrayal is just amazing.

ReplyDeleteI got a chuckle out of seeing you in the wild when you popped up in the comments of a James Gunn fb post.
ReplyDeleteIf Troy Brouwer scores a goal in this series I'll eat my dog's shit.
ReplyDeleteWas it my Taylor Swift analogy?
ReplyDeleteDont bother getting out a fork then.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't remember, it was on his post about fandom.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the prequel trilogy my thoughts are less is more George.
ReplyDeleteI could probably have said "if Troy Brouwer hits the net in this series..." and still be safe.
ReplyDeleteOr just less George.
ReplyDeleteI blame Rick McCallum way more than George for those movies.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to play a trainwreck called Daikatana, just to see how bad it is.
ReplyDeleteTITS.
ReplyDeleteWho wants to watch a PPV on the network?
ReplyDeleteCOD: Modern Warfare 3, after dinner at my Mother-in-law's with the family.
ReplyDeleteSingle or multiplayer?
ReplyDeleteMe if I was home, Bash 1990 is my suggestion, or Capital Combat 1990.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking ECW or mid 2000s WWE.
ReplyDeleteI still think if they didn't rush the entire Vader Redemption story and swapped the ewoks with wookies Return of the Jedi would have been four stars.
ReplyDeleteJedi is 4 stars. 5 stars would have been wookies/no Death Star re-hash.
ReplyDeleteI find Matt Murdocks voice really annoying.
ReplyDeleteFOR THE REPUBLIC
ReplyDeleteYeah
ReplyDeleteVengeance 2004.
ReplyDeleteOver the last several days, I saw several people complaining that their favorite tv show was cancelled. If the show didn't have shitty ratings, it wouldn't have been cancelled.
ReplyDeleteAny surprises get the ax?
ReplyDeleteThis. My friend posted "why the hell did State of Affairs get cancelled?!"
ReplyDeleteIt's hilarious
Thank you Captain Obvious.
ReplyDeleteme
ReplyDeleteeither works for me
ReplyDeleteThose stupid battle droids that are the old republic version of stormtroopers should have had a different look.
ReplyDeleteI do dislike his shit eating grin half the time. Stop smiling, you idiot, you're supposed to be a professional!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, the first 7 seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force are streaming on Hulu!! Robot Chicken and Sealab 2021 as well!!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't make it less sucky if a TV show you like gets cancelled. I didn't watch any of the shows that got cancelled but I would have been bummed if Parks got cancelled in Season 3 and "it got shitty ratings" wouldn't have cheered me up.
ReplyDeleteOh god, it is beyond awful. Good luck getting past the first stages
ReplyDelete....so?
ReplyDeleteI love them. They are surprisingly funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm not agreeing with your dissage of Matt Murdock, I just like the quote.
ReplyDeletedisagree goerge is russo and mccallum should have been vince but he is a yes man
ReplyDeleteIs Aqua Teen still on?
ReplyDeleteI had several friends that complained that the mindy project got axed. It barely got renewed for the 3rd season but some people think it might get to the magical 4th season for syndication money.
ReplyDeletewow it's my 20's all over
ReplyDeleteJohn Romero thought he was untouchable. He was wrong and this game proved it.
ReplyDeleteI was facebook friends with James Gunn a long time ago but I think he got rid of his personal page.
ReplyDeleteThe all-digital sets starting with Clones is just so sterile
ReplyDeleteIt is. The next season will be the last.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the Cavs either, but few things are sweeter than watching the Bulls and their fanbase suffer. Good shit LBJ.
ReplyDeleteIt might get picked up on a two season deal on Hulu since it has a loyal following and people like Mindy Kaling
ReplyDeleteRight?! I should probably buy several 30 packs of High Life to really relive the experience.
ReplyDeleteI have bad luck with shows I actually enjoy getting cancelled. Ironside, Taxi Brooklyn, Resurrection, etc. There better be a season 2 of Secrets and Lies or I will be highly upset.
ReplyDeleteROGER ROGER
ReplyDeleteThere will be.
ReplyDeleteTaxi Brooklyn was a summer burnoff show.
Resurrection was a show that should've been a miniseries. It fell off hard in season 2.
Troy Brouwer from point plank! He didn't score, of course.
ReplyDeleteI thought you said 2000 ECW for a second. I was going to run out of this thread full speed.
ReplyDeleteBut they can't shoot for shit
ReplyDeleteTaxi Brooklyn bummed me out. Now I'll never know if Leo will get to save his son or did Kat's mother actually die on that ferry.
ReplyDeleteResurrection did fall off in the second season.
Did you watch Secrets and Lies or am I the only one?
How about November 2 Remember 99? Awesome vs Tanaka, Rhino/Impact Players vs Raven/Dreamer/Sandman and Taz vs RVD.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird, I find the show REALLY funny... yet have no desire to watch it.
ReplyDeleteim in
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun show. Best theme song on TV
ReplyDeleteThat's the reason why I wait a month or two before watching most shows before I start watching it. Only exceptions this season was how to get away with murder and gotham which I really wanted to see
ReplyDeleteI did not. I watch The Good Wife on Sundays at 9.
ReplyDeleteYea, Taxi Brooklyn had some nerve ending on a cliffhanger. For a summer burnoff show, it was easy to watch, even if not very good.
Did the Galactic Empire have good health benefits for their employees?
ReplyDeleteI got to watch from the beginning. Only exception was Scandal.
ReplyDeleteThere has been way too many times I have gotten burned watching a show & loving it and then it's cancelled 2-3 months into the show
ReplyDeleteI like that time when Shake was selfish, Meatwad was loveably naive, and Frylock was all serious. I think it was also when Carl was a perv
ReplyDeleteSure
ReplyDeleteI guess N2R 99 it is. We'll start at 8.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch. What time?
ReplyDelete8.
ReplyDeleteIf Mikey goes missing, all eyes on Burt
ReplyDeleteKeep digging that hole, Mikey
Kingpin and Wesley is definitely among the top villain bromances ever
ReplyDeleteNope, just shitty Palpatinecare
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE GET IN HERE NOW.....your work is appreciated..here is corn
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. He was just completely loyal without feeling like a weakling.
ReplyDeleteI've watched very little ECW but am kinda looking forward to this. Probably going to skip Mad Men altogether.
ReplyDeleteThey were best friends!
ReplyDeleteShawn and Diesel without the constant betrayal.
ReplyDeleteGET HYPED
ReplyDeleteFuck that. The majority were independent contractors. You think your average stormtrooper knows anything about plumbing? All they know is killing and white suits.
ReplyDeleteTroy Brouwer takes a stupid penalty. Rangers score. He'll show up on the game summary at least.
ReplyDeleteWhat a useless piece of fucking shit this guy is. He should be pitching for the Red Sox.
Isn't N2R 99 the show that prompted Scott to write his column where he went off on ECW fans?
ReplyDeleteI'm starting N2R 99 in 30 seconds.
ReplyDelete3...2....1.....and GO!
ReplyDeleteI've read little of his ECW stuff. I thought Scott always hated the mutants
ReplyDeleteEC Dub ECW Dub
ReplyDeleteGlitter shit on his forehead like he's a Hindu.
ReplyDeleteYeah but they sent him a ton of hate mail specifically because he bashed this show. (If it was this one)
ReplyDeleteI thought that opening graphic of the arena said something VERY different for a sec.
ReplyDeleteIf they were independent contractors, why couldn't they work for the Rebellion as soon as their Empire work was done???
ReplyDeleteCyrus was so underrated. He was great on color for ECW.
ReplyDeleteSmark marks of the world rejoice!
ReplyDeleteDamn!!! Check that mullet on background security guy! In 1999!
ReplyDeletedid we really love rhymes this much back in the 90's
ReplyDeleteThat one security guy on the left was in TNA for a bit too iirc
ReplyDeleteWhen Gertner did it? Very much so.
ReplyDeleteBooooo
ReplyDelete"Can we rock? What's up, doc!"
ReplyDeleteYes.
That's in the style of the character, honestly.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Tazz doing in the Impact...oh..wrong show
ReplyDeleteTaz on screen, 1/4 actual size.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty good crowd.
ReplyDeleteTaz had an awesome theme.
ReplyDeleteI'm not watching because I don't have the network and can't (be bothered to) find it online but I'd like to state for the record that Gertner's schtick doesn't hold up in the slightest.
ReplyDeleteWiki says this show drew 3000.
ReplyDeletehome machine? ok grandpa
ReplyDelete"You sold out?"
ReplyDeleteJust signed with WWE?
I still love it.
ReplyDeleteYep he debuted at the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what is happening.
ReplyDeleteThat promo he cut at TNA's version of One Night Stand was pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteShould NXT have its own "Then, Now, Forever" type signature? In place if the WWE one
ReplyDeleteTurning Taz heel?
ReplyDeletePretty good promo from Taz here.
ReplyDeleteWas he a face? I have no context for this. They were already telling him he sold out.
ReplyDeleteno compete clause
ReplyDeleteKinda hard to tell with ECW some times.
ReplyDeleteJoe Pesci in Goodfellas!
ReplyDeleteSame height.
ReplyDeletetaz seems angry
ReplyDeleteThey're the same size!
ReplyDeleteEight years out is fairly relevant for pro wrestling references too!
ReplyDeletePop pop Joey?
ReplyDeleteTook him like 7 seconds to leave.
ReplyDeleteGertner never did anything after ECW did he?
ReplyDeleteArrow took a pic with Sting and says he wants in at WM32. Make this happen!
ReplyDeleteCyrus is just chilling out in the corner still.
ReplyDeleteI'd legit LOL if the crowd transferred that chant to Gertner.
ReplyDeleteTroy Brouwer is married? She can do better.
ReplyDeleteoh Tazz... the fanny pack buddy...
ReplyDeleteTaz' fanny pac trenchcoat look. oh my
ReplyDeleteDON'T HURT HIS ALREADY INJURED NECK!!!!
ReplyDelete1999 doesn't seem that long ago..and yet
ReplyDeleteProduction Values!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo the obvious question is if they still had Taz for this show, why not do RVD vs Taz, title for title?
ReplyDeletewrestlers styles, always seven years behind
ReplyDeleteafter being in the PG era so long all the cussing and such is actually catching me off guard
ReplyDeleteBecause Paul sucks at writing conclusions?
ReplyDeletebecause ecw
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Sting. He turned them down for 14 years and when he finally went for it he was treated pretty well and enjoyed the experience. Now he wants in and they're pretty whatever about him.
ReplyDeleteDick Hertz...wait what?! I have no memory of this.
ReplyDeleteClassy Philly crowd.
ReplyDeleteI see what they are doing here
ReplyDeleteHey it's Jazz!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Mostly because Simon can barely keep a straight(pun very much intended) face.
ReplyDeleteso this is obviously over dubbed..where the hell do they get this song?
ReplyDeleteIs that Irish Pat Kenney?
ReplyDeletePar for the course that a celeb not only likes WWE, wants to be on tv, and is in shape enough to do something yet is totally ignored by tptb
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Spike got a good run in WWE
ReplyDeleteWho was Dick Hertz? Did he show up anywhere else?
ReplyDeleteWoah, that was a cool looking move from Hertz. Never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteAll the dick puns.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised Vince Russo had nothing to do with this. Dick joke names and man vs woman are like his two favorite things.
ReplyDeleteBecause he watched ECW.
ReplyDeleteI watched the NBC trailers for their new shows....yikes. Heartbreaker looks awful and I don't even know what The Player is even about.
ReplyDeletePeople Are Talking...just ugh.
I'm still amazed at LeBron's shot earlier. The pre-Miami LeBron would've never hit a shot like that let alone even taken it.
ReplyDeleteNBC sucks
ReplyDeleteThe Three Amigos!
ReplyDeleteA blade job? But why?
ReplyDeletebecause ECW
ReplyDeleteWas it a blade job? I wasn't paying attention.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like them doing away with sitcoms basically. Love they are keeping the Classic SNLs Saturday at 10.
ReplyDeleteI might DVR The Player depending on reviews, but pass on the other two dramas. People Are Talking will be DVRed
Fun little match.
ReplyDeleteNovas hair is awful
ReplyDeletePretty even source of blood all the way across the hair line. No way that was hardway.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last new show I started watching on NBC. Might have been Community and that's what, 6-ish years now
ReplyDeleteI stole this comment from Nova.
ReplyDelete"No one is gonna steal that haircut though" Cyrus is a god.
ReplyDeleteI literally looked away ten seconds and we're in a new match.
ReplyDeleteWas smothers still around at this point?
ReplyDeleteLittle Guido most have said the Cowboys suck
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this was a match lol. Did they always do this shit?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he didn't become a behind the scenes lifer, seems like the sort of self important asshole that would thrive there
ReplyDeleteBest conditioned ECW athlete isn't really a high bar to clear. Sandman is smoking backstage right now!
ReplyDeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteWhat's generally considered the best year of ECW? 95?
ReplyDeleteThe network is such a mess. Even Univision and CW are starting to draw bigger. I love they moved their highest rated scripted series (Blacklist) to make room for a new show that failed and Blacklist has been plummeting against the Thursday opposition. Vintage NBC
ReplyDeletesandman is puking up the first 12 beers right now before he drinks his next 8 ..and on his second pack
ReplyDeleteIt finished first in 18-49. It's anything but a mess
ReplyDeleteHe was for a long time. But he's one of the few guys educated enough to have other non wrestling jobs.
ReplyDeletefirst match was just a thing..this is a pretty enjoyable spot fest
ReplyDeleteI think Big Sal would like to throw his name in "Best Conditioned ECWer"
ReplyDeleteThe Voice and SNF. The NFL isn't exactly stretching anyone's programming muscles at the brain trust and The Voice has a shelf life as all these competitions do. Without hit original programming, the future is still going to be bleak on the nights Tom Brady and company isn't playing.
ReplyDeletewhat the hell is cheti wearing
ReplyDeleteInoffensive spot fest. Nova sucked.
ReplyDeleteEverything about Blurphy's entrance us seizure inducing
ReplyDeletePoofy wrist fringe? But why?
ReplyDeleteI personally loved 95' due to Extreme Lucha Libre.
ReplyDeleteSo there are like 2 guys left in the locker room that have not down a run in right?
ReplyDeleteMargot Robbie's doing yeoman's work keeping me interesting in Suicide Squad via her on set pics
ReplyDeleteANOTHER run in? Are we watching WCW by accident?
ReplyDeleteChetti looked like a member of NSync
ReplyDeleteRoadkill was so underrated. Could have been in the Vader/Bigelow class if he ever found the right gimmick.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice still has some years left in it. The move to Blacklist was because Thursdays are a sought after night for advertisers and they had to plant their flag. They just gave it no support.
ReplyDeleteAnd they were smart enough to bid on football. NBC is fine once they shore up Thursdays and if they can ever figure out what to do once SNF ends
I am very intrigued by Undateable going live.
If I shoot Troy Brouwer I hope the bullet goes through him and into Curtis Glencross.
ReplyDeleteDave Scherer!
