I've always thought a live action anthology show set in the Star Wars universe (kind of like a live action tv version of the old Star Wars Tales from books. ) that just brings in the greatest working writers and allows them to write single episodes and a maybe some multi-episode arcs within the Star Wars universe would be just awesome. So I'd be open to hearing about those types of episodes from The Clone Wars series.


Lucas was preparing a live action Star Wars before he sold it to Disney. Legend goes that 50 scripts had been written (including one by Simon Pegg), but Lucas was just waiting for it to become more cost effective for the ambition of the series to be film.

Disney put the kibosh on it however, and is now planning their own Star Wars TV series.

Hap and Leonard season 3 is coming out in March! I’m pumped because for some reason I thought it got cancelled after S2. Kind of wish it was on a channel other than Sundance TV though.

Quite enjoyed the first episode of that Corporate show that others have mentioned, will keep up with it. Annoying that CC didn't supply Amazon with the unbleeped version though like they do with South Park, there's no reason to use censored episodes online, it's just irritating.

Yeah the soundtrack was definitely something I looked forward to, and Burn kills it.

I only ever watched The Soup from time to time, so it’s nice to jump into The Joel McHale Show from the start. I like the fact he’s now completely uncut and hope they use the Netflix sound as often as possible.

I loved the opening video clip, but I think it would've been perfect if it had started at the point where he said "Where was I? Oh right, The Bachelor."

Between this, Lord of the Rings, Robert E Howard's Conan, and that Iain Banks series, my guess is none of these shows are going to have the budget to last more than one season

It’s weird how the A-Team movie was so hyped then left pretty much no mark after it came out. It really wasn’t too bad, either.

It was overshadowed by the inferior The Expendables.

On a whim I started watching Hap and Leonard on Netflix, and it is extremely cool and good. Mostly because Purefoy and Williams have such strong chemistry, and great banter. It's also nicely atmospheric, but not in an overly showy way. anyone here appreciate this show?

Hap and Leonard is amazing, and season 3 started two weeks ago.

This has nothing to do with the newer Lost in Space but was the Dr Smith in the old one a complete sexual deviant or something? At the very least both Family guy and even season 10 of the simpsons (or: not so great simpsons but better than what it is now) portray the actor as a real candidate for TVIV moderation if you catch my drift. Was this unfounded or was he really as terrible as he was depicted? Bear in mind, I have never seen the older show like at all so if it's like completely obvious I wouldn't know.

Dr Smith was just really campy and the show continually paired him with Will Robinson since, story wise, none of the adults would put up with his bullshit. Also that Smith would sell Will out at the moment of danger, yet always would come back to him once the tables were turned on him

Most movies with titles that start "Once Upon a Time In..." tend to be pretty good but I've never seen the Jet Li (?) Once Upon a Time In China movies so I don't know how universal the rule is.

Once Upon a Time In China and America is great because Jackie Chan told Sammo Hung about this idea he had for a movie about a martial artist in the old west and Hung went "Great idea" and stole it.

B99 has mostly run its course but it’s the kinda show that imo totally deserves a final season where they know it’s the end, like 30 Rock and Parks had. But the wedding is a cool ending.

Except since it's the end of the season, and it is B99, you just know that's going to end in a cliffhanger.

Tangentially related, I remember back when I titled the Season 5 Community thread "Still only the second worst fanbase for a show about friendship," and was really proud of it.
