First couple of seasons was incredible. Season 3 felt like it got progressively worse every episode and by the end of it I never wanted to see another episode.

But then I remember this:

I'd probably say BSG. I've said it before, but BSG REALLY changed how media and pop culture viewed sci-fi stuff. It was probably overshadowed by Lost, but BSG had a lot going on during the post-9/11 era and at a time when there wasn't really a new Trek series on TV.

There was a show like takeshi's castle but it took place entirely inside a studio with an obstacle course. Looked like it was from the late 80's or early 90's. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[edit] found it, it's called Unbeatable Banzuke. I likes it better than MXC.

i remember really loving Most Extreme Elimination Challenge when getting daydrunk in college with my room mate. I'm afraid it doesn't really hold up on re-watching. Too many of-the-moment pop culture references, like mocking Kevin Federline. It still has it's moments. Though probably not the episode I turned on with half the contestants in blackface.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

haljordan posted:

I remember hearing someone who worked on his show talk about how they were always very nervous about any time the police got involved because Tom was still a Canadian citizen and if he got arrested or convicted of an offense, there was an extremely good chance he would get deported.

ngl if they went through with it because that would be the funniest possible thing to happen I will have a huge amount of respect for tom green

i don't want to fill the page with more videos, but you can also find good ones like four little racing a camel around a track, or a huge mob of little people vs an elephant seeing who can pull a jumbo jet further, or a tug of war between a sumo wrestler and a orangutan, or a professional eater vs a bear in a hot dog eating competition

tbh its all good, the entire show is incredible

CBS when it went from 'boring old people TV' to 'cool old people TV'

CSI: More or less every major CSI series starts in the 00s and for about half a dozen of those 00 years three separate and successful CSI series ran at the same time.
NCIS: Similar to CSI in longevity and spin-offs.
Reality Contest shows: Amazing Race, Survivor, and Big Brother.
Sitcoms: It felt like CBS was the only network still capable of doing a successful classic multi-camera sitcom format as the decade wore on, and they still might be the only one with any of any popularity.
Talk Shows: The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson STILL has a pretty strong cult following to this day from folks who used to tune in back in the late 00s.

However, they seemed to never capture the success of other channels' Idol-type programming, mystery box shows, or SF/F/Horror shows that were abundant in the same decade, too. At least, none that I can recall to any great popularity.

There was a one-off competition on Fox that was an eating competition. But it wasn’t just like “who can eat the most hamburgers”,
It had poo poo like

1)Who can eat the most BOWLS OF MAYO WITH THEIR BARE HANDS
2)Who can eat this six foot long maki roll but somewhere jn the middle is ONE FOOT OF PURE WASABI
3)The finale was WHO CAN EAT THE MOST COW BRAINS and I’m assuming everyone got mad cow disease

God I miss the soup so much :sigh: pro Saturday morning watch. I sometimes wish they would bring it back in some capacity but I feel like it just wouldn't be the same

I think about this clip all the time

https://youtu.be/eNmgOIjZJXQ

They actually did bring it back on Netflix but it only lasted 6 episodes. The weekly format didn't work on the 2018 iteration of Netflix. It was called the Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale.

It actually was exactly the same as the Soup, down to the self-aware low budget skits. I miss it.
