Snaller writes "The Sci Fi Channel has listed its programming for the upcomming year, it includes the Farscape miniseries already mentioned by Slashdot, it also includes a miniseries based the legendary scifi story by Larry Niven: Ringworld. In the far future 4 travelers crash on a ring around a sun in a distant system. Shall be interesting to see how they depict the Puppeteers."
Well, do you remember a few years ago? George Lucas made a movie called Episode One. Well they're thinking of using the actor who played Jar-Jar...
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
... the Discovery Channel will be releasing its new parody miniseries: Ringworm
I really had the hots for her in Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles...
"As long as they keep the whole sex bit out of the series"

You're thinking of "The Integral Trees" - another Niven work. Not "Ringworld".
This was like a show I saw when I was ten years old. There was this family living in a flying saucer. They had two robots: a tall gold one and a short one like a trash can. There was a Doctor, who always said "Dammit Jim" and insulted the robots all the time. They were running from bad silver robots with red eyes who were trying to kill them. Wish I could remember the name of that show.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Halo consisted mostly of shooting aliens on an artificial planet, while Ringworld consisted mostly of having sex with aliens on an artificial planet.
Eh, close enough.
The PC police believe that Jar Jar is an offensive caricature of black people (correction African-Americans). Similarly, the trade federation people were caricatures of Asians. And Watto was a Jewish stereotype.
Of course, all of this could be the result of George Lucas being a mere caricature of a good screenwriter.
