Cancelled TV Show Meme
10) Alien Nation Yeah it was weird and all, but leaving the show with that ending sucked. Note to producers: Don't leave primary characters suffering from the plague!
9) Beauty and the Beast I know that many were dissatisfied when Linda Hamilton left. I wasn't one of them. I thought the series was still interesting.
8) Harsh Realm Hey, I liked it. Thought the premise was intriguing. They had just shown D.B. Sweeney's situation where, while in the game he was a healthy man, in 'real life' he was horribly mutilated and I thought that had real potential. Also the love story was just beginning to heat up. Some people complain about Firefly's launch but Harsh Realm's was worse.
7) Screensavers (with Leo) G4 took over TechTV and got rid of Leo. G4 -- you suck!
6) Dark Shadows (80's Version) Again, hey, I liked it, and I thought things were just getting interesting.
5) Another World Not so much that it was cancelled (though that was sad) but that they replaced the soap with utter CRAP! The fact that we have Passions (aka PissOnIt) on air rather than Jake and Vicky McKinnon, Cass Winthrop, and Felicia Gallant is just plain irksome.
4) Brimstone Cop kills the man who raped his wife and cop is sent to hell where the Devil sends the Cop back to earth to recapture escapees from hell (and these are REALLY bad people). Nice inversion of expectations with the Devil being on the "right" side (for ambiguous reasons, naturally). Plus, hey, the devil was just plain COOL. I really liked this show but I always figured it was doomed.
3) Cupid Piven was simply wonderful as the "Is he just crazy or could he actually be an exhiled, hedonistic god?" role. Smart, witty, romantic. The series was a gem, and it pissed me off to no end when it was cancelled.
2) Angel Okay, so it probably could have only lasted one more year. I still wasn't ready to let go quite yet.
1) Farscape The show was still in its prime. It was smart, funny, screwed up, romantic, weird, full of action and moral ambiguity. In short, I love this show. Thank god it's coming back for a mini-series because I really didn't want it ending there.
"If I were" Meme:
If I were a book, I would be written by: Douglas Adams
If I were a food, I would be: Yogurt. It's a little sour and perhaps just a little bland. But all you have to do is add a little sweetner and it's pretty good.
If I were a place, I would be: Confusing and sometimes misinterpreted by others but understood by those intimate with it. Occasionally ends up with an undeserved reputation (though every now and then the rep is deserved). Generally temperate climate, although there are thunderstorms, cold snaps, and heat waves.
If I were a taste, I would be: Salty and Sweet. . . perhaps honey roasted peanuts.
If I were a scent, I would be: Burberry of London. Smells like vanilla but really isn't. A little woodsy. A little fruity. A little floral. Complex.
If I were a religion, I would be: Well, if you take that religion quiz I always come up as a Universalist.
If I were a word, I would be: ambivalent
If I were a body part I would be: an eye.. I'm a very visual person.
If I were a facial expression I would be: arched eyebrow. I'm also quite the skeptic.
If I were a subject in school I would be: History and other useless trivia
If I were a cartoon character I would be: Brak
If I were a shape I would be: ellipse.
If I were a number I would be: 714. Beats me why.
If I were an item of clothing, I would be: strappy high heel sandals.
If I were a piece of jewelry, I would be: silver and amber celtic bracelet.
If I were a clothing accessory, I would be: sunglasses
