Terra Nova - TV Shows
I found out that my parents love this show, so now I feel kind of bad for lambasting it like I did. :) Like FOX cares what I think of their show anyways. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 15, 2012, 11:25 am

X-Files - TV Shows
It's funny how the "monster of the week" episodes were mocked by fans as "filler" at the time. Now they're the only episodes worth a damn. All the "conspiracy" episodes are meaningless now that we know they go nowhere. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 15, 2012, 11:17 am

Designing Women - TV Shows
I saw one rerun a couple years ago where Dixie was extolling the virtues of Jimmy Carter's post-Presidential humanitarian work and condemning Ronald Reagan for doing so little after stepping down. Gee, you think maybe because the man was ill might have something to do with it? They really need to cut that scene (and any Dixie soapboxing scene, really) out of the syndication package. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 15, 2012, 11:09 am

Star Wars - Movie Series
4th place debut for Phantom Menace 3D behind The Vow, Safe House, and Journey 2. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. But still, it made $23M on its opening weekend when it should have made $0. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 13, 2012, 2:37 pm

George Lucas - Celebrities
Get a load of this, guys. George Lucas thinks so little of your intelligence that he's blathering this pathetic lie. "George Lucas says Han never shot first, you were just confused." http://www.avclub.com/articles/george-lucas-says-han-never-shot-first-you-were-ju%2C69159/ -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 11, 2012, 1:04 am

Jack in the Box (restaurant) - Random Topics
I remember the e-Coli scare. They had gotten caught undercooking their burgers and a bunch of local kids had gotten sick and some even died. You would drive by a Jack in the Box and there would be NO cars in the parking lot; no customers at all. My friend enjoyed going there during this period; he said, "Theoretically, this is now the safest place in the world to eat now that they're in the media hotseat. And look, no lines!!" -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 8, 2012, 9:50 pm

Dragon Ball - TV Shows
Now that there are separate entries for Z and GT, these four Reasons need to be deleted as they are not applicable to this show: Majin Buu saga, Freeza Saga, Death Goku, GT. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 8, 2012, 9:17 pm

Dragon Ball GT - TV Shows
De-aging Goku was a lame copout. Also, Trunks was totally wasted, even though he was supposed to be one of the main characters. I sometimes forgot he was even there. The Dragonball franchise ran out of steam during Z and GT was really just a big cash grab with nothing new or good to offer. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 8, 2012, 9:12 pm

Harry Potter - Movie Series
I somehow managed not to see any of these movies up until a couple days ago when I decided to watch all eight of them in a marathon. I've heard that Harry Potter is to the young generation what Star Wars was to mine (and what the SW prequels weren't for EITHER generation), so I had to check it out. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to discover how well-written and well-acted these were. Anyone complaining about these kids' acting, please refer to the Star Wars prequels-- the kids were just fine. My only complaint would be with the final two movies. I HATE this new trend of artificially splitting stories into two movies to make more $$$$$. Deathly Hallows only exemplifies this. Part 1 just seems so padded and drawn out; it was the first one of these movies to bore me. So many tedious scenes of Harry and Hermione wandering around wastelands silently. Part 2 was much better, but still felt padded at times. I feel it's better to have one streamlined film that skips over some things than two bloated and uneven ones. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 5, 2012, 10:46 pm

Beavis and Butthead - TV Shows
The latest season ended, that's probably why you can't find it. I'm sure when the next season starts things will change. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 1, 2012, 8:00 pm

Miley Cyrus - Celebrities
After seeing these pics, I pity any parent that let their daughter idolize Hannah Montana. The talentless Cyrus family has corrupted a generation of girls. http://www.twirlit.com/2012/01/25/miley-cyrus-penis-cake-photos-leak/ -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 30, 2012, 7:59 pm

Occupy Wall Street - Random Topics
JamesO, you seem like a good guy and I wish someone like you was in charge of the movement. Instead, the fact there are no true leaders and no strong message really neuters any impact the movement has. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 26, 2012, 12:07 am

Earth Day - Random Topics
I'm actually pro-environment, but anti-Hippie. I went to college with a whole bunch of Ira Einhorn wannabes-- all entitled and arrogant with no common sense. So you can see why I have mixed feelings about Earth Day. I do like the concept, but not the people behind it. I'll stick with Arbor Day. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 25, 2012, 11:58 pm

Her husband got caught having that affair and it seems to have actually humbled her. She disappeared shortly after that. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 17, 2012, 3:01 pm

JumptheShark.com - Websites
No, they've had it completely blocked via robots.txt for a while now. It's a shame, because occasionally I'll remember something funny I read on there and I can't go back and "rescue" those anecdotes anymore. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 17, 2012, 2:56 pm

Earth Day - Random Topics
One of the Wiki-sources listed even has a photo of him on stage emceeing the Philly event in 1970. His ex-girlfriend's rotting corpse was found by police is his closet in 1979 and since that time the Earth Day crowd has tried to rewrite him out of their history. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 17, 2012, 2:53 pm

Best Buy - Random Topics
One of the things they got caught doing was listing one price on their website and having another, higher price in the store. When people would complain, the employees would lead them to a computer terminal and show them a private intranet made to look exactly like the public website but with the higher price listed to "prove" the customer "wrong". -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 13, 2012, 6:24 pm

Chevy Chase Show, The - TV Shows
The only thing I remember about this show is that it was like Chevy couldn't even be bothered to try and be funny. Like he didn't want to be there any more than you wanting to watch it. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 11, 2012, 8:58 pm

13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, The - TV Shows
This show came on at the same time as Transformers here. My cousin was trying to convince me to watch it. One thing he stressed to me was this time Shaggy was wearing a RED shirt and not "that old green one". Yeah, I decided to stick with Transformers and never watched 13 Ghosts. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 11, 2012, 8:55 pm
