[Beelzebub]

1. What's your favorite TV network?
I don't really have one.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
My interests are too scattered for them to air on just one network.

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
Not too sure if I get the question. I am answering this with the understanding that re-runs would be aired; trying to bring back an old show with new actors sucks. Anyway, my picks would be Salute Your Shorts, Ghostwriter, Hey Dude, Noozles, The Lil Bits, Picture Pages, The Joy of Painting, Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and The Little Koala. There were other shows I watched as a child but they're in syndication now so I didn't mention them.

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
MTV dating shows, and those lame things on VH1 that have D-list celebrities making lameass jokes about A-listers.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
Any show mentioned in #3.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

#1 & #2 are totally Ken answers...

just sayin'

 

[Kenneth R.]

nah, these are:

1. What's your favorite TV network?

They're all second rate, so none.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?

History/Philosophy/Literature channel, with none of the idiocy of any current channel attempting to 'dumb down' such topics, and free of 'junk science'.

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?

Can't think of any.

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?

All reality tv, most game shows, dancing with the stars, sex and the city, lost, 24, I could go on. And on and on. 99% of all programming.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?

None.

 

[Jax]

1. What's your favorite TV network?
Used to love CourtTV..not such a big fan now that it's "TruTV". I like the History Channel & the Discovery Channel.
2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
Oh hell, I don't know..a little bit of everything that I like.
3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
Most of the crap I watched is better off gone. I did see Kimba the White Lion on tv the other night, that was a trip.
4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
Any of the 'we're gonna call it a reality show even though it's scripted' shows..utter rubbish.
5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
Let's see, I have Red Dwarf, Alias, Nip/Tuck, Six Feet Under, & quite a few others. Wish they'd put China Beach on dvd, that was a cool show.

I don't watch TV.
2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
About science, medicine, books (fiction & fact), and metal.
3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
Alfred J. Kwak
4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
Almost all of those reality-series.
5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
Star Trek TNG
Stargåte SG-1 and Atlantis
Heroes
Lost
Dexter
Babylon 5

I have some of these series (partially) already in my DVD-shelf.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Lasse, good picks. Cept lost.

 

[Meedleyx10]

lost=win

 

[1by4by9]

Haha, thanks Kenneth. I can't say that Lost is getting better with every passing season. I guess it's helluva job for the writers to keep that plot reasonable. Now that there's time travel included one can expect anything from the series. I've read some of the fan based theories on the net and some of them seem quite interesting. Actually I had this same feeling when I saw the first Matrix in the cinema. The first one promised a lot and fans invented very cool storylines to continue the movie, but eventually the movie makers ruined the actual sequels.

 

[Kenneth R.]

they should just stop calling it lost, kill everyone but 5 people, and remake Sliders.

1. MLB Package, ESPN, Food Network, HBO, Science Channel(for Survivor Man)
2. Simon Cowell: 24/7 Network.
3. Twin Peaks
4. Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City. I know WAY to many girls who try emulating the woman in these shows, and then are dumb enough to wonder why they can't land a decent guy.
5. I own a few: The Wonder Years, Lost, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Twilight Zone and Saved by the Bell. Wish I could afford the M.A.S.H. box set. Typically they cost way too much money.

2. A progressive metal video channel, with just continuous live clips on rotation...

3. Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, though they did actually bring them back not too long ago I think...

4. Big Brother, and some really average soapies like Home & Away, Neighbours etc...

5. Mythbusters, Stargate: Atlantis, The Footy Show (AFL),

[DoomsdayZach]

1. What are your plans for the summer?
Playing some shows, looking for a new job and WEST COAST TOUR!!!! So all you folks in Cali, Portland, possibly some others, Skelator will be ripping up a town near you

2. What was your favorite vacation?
Probably my first Wacken (2002) or my last Wacken (2005). Fun experiences.

3. What was your least favorite vacation?
In a way, Germany last december. It was fun to play, but having a 3 week vacation turn into a 3 day vacation isn't really my idea of an amazing time. Pretty disappointing overall, but there were still definitely high points.

4. What's the farthest you've traveled on vacation?
Germany. It's a long way away.

5. What's your dream vacation?
Something that doesn't put me in debt for a year or more...

5. What's your dream vacation?

1) Learn stuff for the coming semester. Go to grandparents house back in Pittsburgh in July. Maybe start practicing guitar again...

2) Aruba a few years ago. The whole place was "touristy" with trinket shops etc etc. I hated that, so I spent most of the time in the woods catching iguanas and lizards and almost getting arrested.

3) Any place that was not Pittsburgh could not have been a least favorite. But I would say near Clearwater, Florida only because it was the biggest Scientology freak show I have ever seen. Again though, I also spent most of my time in the woods catching lizards and snakes.

4) Aruba. It's only like 50 miles north of Venezuela in South America.

5) Sweden, Japan, China, England or any other place in Europe.

Probably my honeymoon - a seven-day Mexican cruise

3. What was your least favorite vacation?
That last trip to Virginia. Such high anticipations on my part, only to be shredded by the kids getting dog sick so we spent all five days pent up in a hotel room with quick forays down the road to CVS

4. What's the farthest you've traveled on vacation?
Brussels to Garmisch, Germany in a car; but, that boat ride was quite long (Albuquerque to LAX, onto the ship, down to PV, to Mazatlan, then Cabo, back to LAX, and then back to Albuquerque).

5. What's your dream vacation?
Beer Cruise if they ever do it again!
Otherwise, a night game at Fenway and then an afternoon at Wrigley, with both home teams winning, of course! Then followed by a trip across the pond for a couple weeks of Belgian pub crawling.
