"utterly terrible"

These are the two words I love most!

And here is one of the many reasons why: http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=164 9&pageid=5

Fsck the rest.

Google - remember that? Those were the days. No wonder they went the way of all the dotcom companies, what with all the billions of dollars they made.

Note to self: must cut down on LSD-flavoured potato chips.

Here's Cringely telling it like it is. Amen to him.

I don't think there was an afternoon between May and September of 1985 that this movie didn't get played on HBO. This Dave Speed guy made the Green Lantern look like a kick-ass superhero by comparison.

Yes, but his lameness was what made him so endearing. That and his wierd accent. Or was it that they had him re-dub all his lines with no lip sync whatsoever? Maybe that was it. And with that kind of airplay, you can learn to love almost any bad movie. Must be related to that hostage syndrome (Stockholm syndrome?)

I actually would pay to have this one on DVD. Well, 10 bucks anyhow. And if you have a problem with that, some friends of mine are nuts about Thundercats, which I thought was pretty uninfluential myself. (Though I've heard its last season wasn't so bad, when the series was left to die, and the writers were left alone and wrote scripts that weren't aimed at six year olds.)

Which brings up the idea of variations on this theme. Certainly there should be an uninfluential TV series list. And then another one specifically for kids TV series.

I nominate Quark, staring Richard Benjamin, (which I was nuts about back in 1979) for the regular TV series list. Ah, the wonderful adventures of the United Galaxy Space Patrol. And Battlestar Galactica '80, which I absolutely hated, because it used the very same premise (they find Earth, but it's Earth in 1980) that had appeared six months earlier as a parody in Cracked magazine.
