Yum, Bewitched. Also: I Dream Of Jeannie.

It's near-impossible to remember both's theme tunes simultaneously, though. Once you've remembered IDOJ, you'll be clutching for Bewitched like a child for its mother in a crowd.

i almost forgot

JEOPARDY!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll be glad to hear they're making a Bewitched movie.

Wanna know who's in it?

Natch.

english, please

NATURALLY.

Oh, was Ahh! Real Monsters a TV programme? I saw it listed as a MegaDrive game and laughed muchly.

Hey, don't yell at me.

I'm not trying to be cool anymore. So I'm sorry if I'm into the know with some lingo.

Anyway, it's got Will Ferrel and Nicole Kidman. Odd pairing, huh?

It probably WAS a video game.

I have a Ren & Stimpy game for my Genesis, or Mega Drive.

I wasn't yelling! It was meant to be jovial.

And it's really not cool - it's what the teen-pop magazine T(op)O(f)T(he)P(ops) used to say instead of 'naturally'. I just picked it up for japes.

Nicole Kidman isn't the Bewitched sort! I don't know who Will Ferrel is though.

Yeah, it was, but I didn't realise it was a programme; I feel a little disappointed that someone didn't just come up with that name.

-Elf?

-Night at the Roxbury?

-SNL?

*hugs Alex*

Goodnight dearie.

*gives Alex a goodnight smooch*

I better go too.

NUMB3ERS is on.

My new favorite show.

Nope.

i like law and order as well. i was just thinking about that. i guess they are coming out with yet another new one. it will suck though. so i will not view it.

i cant belive that south park and john safran is over monday night just isnt the same

oh yeah and home and away is cool too

My fav. tvshow used to Buffy by the way.
I was happy they stopped it before becoming really lame like it happened with x-files

I keep hearing good things about this and am always tempted to just go and order the R1 dvd but don't want to risk it. Is it a sketch show with recurring characters or is it a bit more imaginative and every sketch has different people in it?

Bewitched: yes. Would you have done her Vicky? Haha.

Pete and Pete: I'd love to see this again I really would. My mother always thought Artie was a paedophile.

Oh, and Vicky, I got your message this morning but my battery has died, so I presume you'll see this at some point today: I watched most of that DREADFUL Jimmy Carr thing last night. What a cunt. cuntycuntycunt. Urgh. It has the possibility to be a decent TFI Friday-type Friday night entertianment thing, but they fucked it up by having Carr on it (well, I suppose Channel 4 have to honour the contract somehow), having a guest presenter who is a thuggish homophobic prick, generally being crap. And I thought of the "we wanted Charlie but didn't want to get Busted" joke before Carr said it so I'm clearly better than him. And I don't have a head shaped like a car engine.


Jimmy Carr-Engine Head.


Cunt

did you not watch the last few seasons of Buffy? it got bad. real bad.

in other news, Footballer's Wives has been relegated to midnight. how apalling! channel 10 suck.

sure i watched. The last seasons werent all bad, maybe the last episodes though.

NO!

The last 4 seasons of Buffy were some of the best-written shows EVER created. Seriously. No other show that ran for 7 seasons had such well-defined characters and plots which were hinted at mile sin advance which at the time seemed implausible but then seemed absolutely perfect when they actually happened (Spike's love for Buffy, and their eventual sexual relationship the next season.)


What didn't you like about the last few seasons?

that it ended

season 3 was awesome. season 5 was good too. in the last few seasons there were some serious shockers though, I mean Willow getting addicted to magic? come on. that was dumb.

i liked it

I didn't mind that, purely because you could see that it sprung from her grief over Tara dying so it made sense. And they always made it quite clear from the early episodes that magic was a terrible powerful force and Giles often had deep reservations over allowing Willow to be part of it. And it was clearly a problem for Willow before Tara's death as it was, I believe, the reaons why they broke up for a while. The 'it's a drug metaphor!' obviousness was a bit cringe-worthy though.


I really wish I had enough money to get the dvd's of seasons 2-7.


edit: to be honest, out of the last few seasons, the thing I found to be the worst was the Glory/Ben body shifting thing. I mean, seriously. And that scene when they were all in a van being chased by the Knighs of the Order of Ghavahxatygfgfbg

that wasnt to great.

they re showing the old episodes every wednesday but i can rarely watch them.
I liked the one where she was working in a fast food restaurant. It was so 'back to the roots'.

yeah the Glory/Ben thing was a bit rich, really. I didn't get why they all trusted him so much. I love the episode where she thinks that Spike's the key, though, that was a good one.

one of the reasons I loved the earlier seasons was Cordelia - she was awesome. but she went all mopey and depressed on Angel.

Tara was so lovely! I cried so much when she died. she was one of theonly reasons that I kept watching, because I just loved that character. Willow didn't deserve her.

Tara was definitly my favourite charecter.
I used to like Willow the best but when Tara came on *sigh*

I liked Faith,too

I think my favourite was the rather divisive Once More With Feeling. I even own the soundtrack album. Oh yes.

And The Body was incredible too (I think that was its title). I swear, the lack of a score in that episode was an absolute masterstroke; it really made you feel part of it. Although they spoiled it by slipping in an obligatory vampire at the very end.


Hush was fantastic too.

These three were all written and directed by Whedon weren't they?

And all featured gimmicks of such, based around music and sound. Odd that.

Shall we have a Buffy thread?

yeah, i got 'once more with feeling' too, I listened to it quite often. I know most of it by heart.

What was the Body all about? (I mostly only know the german titles if anything)

yeah I think so, the Whedon ones are the masterpieces.

also a classic was Restless, where they went into their dreams. another gimmick, you could say, but genius. I loved how Spike and Giles were on the swingset, "a Watcher scoffs at gravity!". Once More With Feeling was awesome, I watch that tape frequently.

If it's the one I'm thinking about, it' the one where Joyce dies. It's great because nothing really happens in it as such, they all just deal with the grief. but then it's undermined by slipping in that damn vampire at the very end in the hospital.

ah, i remember it now.


The one with all the dreams was awesome. I watched it quite a few times.

... was it in the 3rd season when willow and xander kissed?

Lover's Walk is the episode! Spike and Drusilla are in it also. that's a great one.

Yeah, he is. But I dindnt´see that. They are showig the old one´s here in Germany, a few that I already know...I want new episodes.

Kirk is so damn cool. *shakes kirk´s hand*

No! Don't be so impure!



Hahahaha. "Oh Paul, come and look at this paedophile..."



The adverts were enough to put me off. I really wanted to smack him after seeing them. I thought he was alright after Distraction - other people's pain always floats my boat - but I'm fully agreed with your opinion of him now. When he says 'ooh' on that advert - SMACK! Gaah.

I can't believe you like Buffy. I really can't.

how much of it did you see?

Enough of it to know I wasn't a fan. It's really not my sort of thing. See also: Lord Of The Rings.

Really? She was always too good for that Darrell.




Yes. Distraction annoys me because the very stupidity of it means you simply can't mock the excesses of television anymore because they actually exist. It's like, there could have been a movie in the 80's about a gameshow like Distraction, a movie which satirises the terribly nonsenical and violent future. And oh look, we're here! Dreadful.

I loved the way they had to sneak in an advert for Carr-Engine's stand-up dvd at the end as well.



Great plots, believable and well-defined characters, masses of sexual innuendo. What's not to like?

Oh, and the fact that they sneaked in a scene of lesbian oral sex onto BBC2 at about 7.00pm just tops the list off really.

Don't be so rude! Darell was a lovely man.



Good point. I think I just enjoyed the naked wheelbarrow racing.

Gosh, wheelbarrow - there's a word I haven't thought about for ages.



Cunty.



It's not real. And it's..............gah.

I love your avatar. I love this film. I love this director. (<not really, but he´s great)

Haha you win.

Time to stop watching Neighbours now then.


Oh, and back to Buffy: I really wanted to smack her in the last seasons. All her bollocks presidential-esque speeches were terrible.

"It's a war. There are two sides. Which side are you on? We need....to FIGHT!"


or whatever

haha, I nearly pissed myself

Damn. I thought that argument was water-tight.

I just really hate fantasy things.

the only shows I ever really watch are Lost, Viva La Bam, The dive, Music Videos and My sweet sixteen(I love the one were the really cute dude with the black hair crashes the girls party)

Every single skit is different.

I love the Mom & Pop porno store skit

I just gotta say it again: Viva la bam sucks! Basicly because Bam is so stupid.
