My uncle was one of the first Compaq employees. From what I've heard about it all from him it seems the show is heavily based on them. Dunno why they chose Dallas over Houston though. e I also have an aunt who was all in the texas punk scene in the 80s so I guess this is A Show About My Parent's Siblings Sheng-Ji Yang fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Jun 10, 2014 |

Doctor Butts posted:I don't know where this show could go, and I have a lot of doubts. However, holy poo poo they are doing an amazing job of recreating the look of that era. definitely reminds me of growing up in early 90s Houston, even if it's a decade earlier.

These last two episodes have been really good. Too bad they already tanked their ratings with the first four.drunkill posted:Looked like a blind person, either that or electrocuted people have grey eyes. Four more episodes of the season. I don't know anything about what determines whether shows get canceled or renwed but the episode before last got half a million viewers which seems pretty bleak. That Hurricane was Alicia, which did indeed wallop Houston. Heard some stories from my dad trying to drive around downtown with glass covering the roads from all the skyscraper windows being blown out. Also lol at Yo-Yo the goon being friendzoned.

As a Texan I'm pretty surprised he's actually not from here or at least from somewhere in the South, his accent is pretty spot on.

I'm sad how this turned out. It was like a perfect storm of stuff I should have been interested in, and the two episodes before the finale showed some promise. Writers came up with a cool premise, just couldn't follow through.
