Kings Fan’s TV Show Draft! - Round 20 - Page 26

ryanandty · 09-21-2009, 10:40 PM

How dare ye interrupt the season premiere of House? This show was absolutely great, even though it was short. If it comes back, I want the new stuff too. I am beginning to delve into personal taste territory now.

Veronica Mars (2004-2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412253/

Cool Show about the teenage daughter of a detective. Almost Nancy Drew-ish. Read the Wiki: it was hella cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_mars

Didn't catch this show during its run, but borrowed it from some friends and was pleasantly surprised. Good luck finding a board friendly quote from this show.
Deadwood 2004-2006

Kind of on my list, too. However, I never really watched the show, as there were elements in it that disturbed me too much to do so (the misogyny, specifically).

Not much time. Will be brief. Guilty pleasure.

Thundercats - Syndicated (1985-1990) -- Hooooooooooooo!

I strongly encourage you to google "Thundercats Outtakes." They are hilarious, but entirely NSFW. (Not safe for work.)

Kingsgirl4 · 09-22-2009, 07:02 PM

I was going to save this for one of the late rounds but with some of the more obscure shows being taken I am starting to worry. I really enjoy this show and the different point of view. In each episode, Penn and Teller debunk a chosen misconception, debate a controversial topic or expose the 'truths' of an organization.

With my next pick:

Penn & Teller Bull****! (2003- Present)

Nice pick! The missus and I like this show.

MassachusettsKingsFan · 09-23-2009, 04:37 PM

Next Pick : True Life (1998-Present)

For those that arent familar with the show, its a series of documentarys ran on MTV. Its interesting and quite addicting IMO and a nice change of pace with what I already have on the island. According to Wiki they have represented over 140 issues. Strong library of stuff here.

Jespher · 09-23-2009, 06:04 PM

I've got my music, I've got my sitcoms. Time to grab something for the kids (and really for the whole family

). This whole show is hilarious, but the parents especially crack me up. With my 12th pick I select:

Malcolm in the Middle (2000-2006)

Jerryaki · 09-23-2009, 07:50 PM

i'm cornering the market on teen dramas.

felicity (1998-2002)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity

tradepeja · 09-23-2009, 08:12 PM

Wow, these last few picks have hurt my list. Great job grabbing them up when you could, everyone. A skill I still have yet to learn

But, where I am getting destroyed in live action drama and comedy, I feel I am more than making up for in grabbing legendary adult cartoons. Here's another that can't last much longer

Daria - MTV (1997-2002)

A spin-off of the Beavis and Butthead of which I missed out on, I'll take this as a handy substitute. Perfect dry humor and witty dialogue abounds in this show about an apathetic high school teen. It was a little old for me to totally get in its initial run, but its all the better now. Great show.

And with the first pick of the unluckiest round, I may be making another reach here but I really need another show with some semblance of drama other than the Sopranos.

Medium - NBC/CBS (2005-present)

Medium is an intriguing little show. Its dipped a bit in the past couple seasons, so maybe its switch over to CBS will freshen things up. The first three seasons of this show were pretty excellent, well-paced drama all though at times a little too predictable. But the beauty (or maybe mistake) of this show is that sometimes the main story of each episode is secondary to the interactions of the Dubois family. Their family dynamic is quite interesting and sometimes remarkably realistic. Well, as realistic as I'd imagine a family of psychics would be....

Well ****! I had completely forgotten about that show, to my mind the only non-music show MTV has ever done that was worth a damn, then I ran across it yesterday, thinking what a great pick it would make. A mere three hours later and you wreck that scenario. Nice (in the worst possible sense).

Jerryaki · 09-24-2009, 09:19 AM

i don't remember much about this show, but since quantum leap is gone and i need a little sci-fi:

sliders (1995-2000)

VF21 · 09-24-2009, 12:27 PM

Nice pick, Jerryaki.

I second that. I own the DVDs for seasons 1-3 and I love them. I'm in denial than the 4th season and on happened, but other than that, brilliant.

This thread is going to not allow me to get any work done for the next 3 months.

Jespher · 09-24-2009, 09:00 PM

So I'm lacking in both dramas and old shows. This next pick should help bridge the gap.

With my 13th pick I select:

Kung Fu (1972-1975)

Kung Fu

MassachusettsKingsFan · 09-24-2009, 09:31 PM

This might be a foolish pick, but I realize my list is lacking that action/drama type show ... Life without LOST is going to hurt, so with my next pick, I select the LOST wanna be and brand new Flash Forward (2009-Present)

Yup, thats right. This show had its series premiere tonight and Im already drafting it. As a matter of fact, Some of you in the West Coast probly havent even had the CHANCE to watch it.

If anyone watches LOST as religiously as I do, you would have seen those commercials during this past season with a flash of a screenshot then the words "what did you see?". Well, this show is the product of those commercials. Everyone on earth ( they think ) has blacked out for a little over two minutes, Except the blackout was actually visions of there future .. so now there trying to figure out who or what caused the blackout and if they can change what they saw ( if they didnt like what it is that they saw).

Anyways, the premiere was good enough to grab me and i'll be watching next week.

I suggest giving this show a look before you get to far behind, I know thats whats stopping a lot of my friends from getting into Lost at this point.

ryanandty · 09-24-2009, 09:50 PM

There are no foolish picks. If you want it, take it.

Kingsgirl4 · 09-25-2009, 12:58 PM

I need more comedy to keep me laughing on my Island. I figure that with Garry Shandling, Jeffrey Tambor and Rip Torn how can you go wrong.... This show always has me laughing. I try and catch re runs any chance I get!

The Larry Sanders Show (1992-1998)

Hey Now!

GoGoGadget · 09-25-2009, 03:14 PM

You rang?

The Addams Family - ABC (1964-1966) -- Creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky.
