So, what's a facrotie cartoon? I guess I've never heard that before.

One of my all time faves is still The Cosby Show.

Facrotie is Gaelic for favorite.

Cosby Show was good, but those multi-colored sweaters everyone always wore tended to wear on my eyes a bit.

I heard the dwarf shot himself, I think it was because he didn't watch Cheers.

Sorry sick joke,(and most likely not all that funny) but I'm in a weird mood.

Ahh. Thanks for the definition.

It's much funnier to me now that I have my own kids, goofy sweaters or not.

Herve had health problems and he did end up taking his own life. One day I was driving down Hollywood Way in Burbank and I almost ran him over jaywalking. Scared the hell out of both of us and he gave me a really pissed off look. Shot himself a couple months later.

So are you saying you killed him?!?!?!??!

..I thought he died of heart failure. Shows what I know about midgets, even when they are my personal servants.

All I know about midgets is when Kid Rock's died his career went to hell. Or did he just plain suck to begin with. Hard to tell.

I like the video to the song "Cowboy". The Smokey and the Bandit thing was kinda cool and the fight between Kid Rock's late midget friend and Gary Coleman might be the funniest thing I've ever seen in a music video.

It was a good video. I'll admit, I like that stupid song "Bawitaba", just because it's such an utterly stupid sounding word.

For those who were too young:

"V" -" V" stands for "Visitors," aliens from a distant planet Sirius IV who entered Earth's atmosphere in an armada of huge spacecrafts that hovered over all the major cities of the world. A representative from their mother ship made contact with the governments of the Earth assuring them, the only purpose for their arrival, was to share their advanced technological developments. In exchange, the Earth would give the aliens a shipment of minerals that were plentiful on our planet but lacking on theirs. Slowly, the aliens unloaded personnel and arranged for the transfer of materials. Using the Media to their advantage, the aliens created a propaganda package that convinced the people of Earth they had nothing to fear from their friends from the stars. In reality, the aliens planned to use the population of Earth as a food source for their home world, transporting the bodies in freezer-units located on-board their spacecrafts. Another alien deception was the Visitors' appearance. Beneath their humanoid facades lurked the scaly faces and bodies of two-legged reptiles. However, all good plans of mice and reptiles soon go awry. Their master plan was uncovered by a crusading broadcast journalist, Mike Donovan (Marc Singer) and a brilliant scientist, Dr. Juliet Parrish (Faye Grant), who formed a unit of freedom fighters to battle the alien occupational forces. Diana, (Jane Badler) the ruthless leader of the aliens, reveled in the torture of her human captives and in their eating. The hand-to-hand defense system used by the Visitors was called "Revoc" taught by the blood-thirsty mercenary, Klaus. It consisted of the deadly "silent strike" technique. However, not all the aliens agreed with their empire's plans to slaughter the Earth's population. Many followed the teachings of a renegade priest, Zon who taught against the tyranny of the Visitors. His disciples chanted "Zon is the cause for which I would die, but not for which I would kill." A partial solution to the alien occupation was the development of a red-powdered dust chemical compound safe to the humans but deadly to the reptiles. This "red dust" bacteria infiltrated the alien's gill tissues and suffocated them. With this weapon, the freedom fighters slowly began to win back the Earth from the alien domination. A female earthling, Robin Maxwell (Blair Tefkin) had fallen in love with one of these aliens, before she realized his true form or intentions. Her interplanetary romance produced a hybrid child with strange powers...powers that the alien empire wanted to exploit. These reptilian invaders first appeared on the 1983-84 miniseries "V" and on the subsequent spin-off V & V: THE FINAL BATTLE/NBC/1984-85. See also - "V"

Two words: Night Stalker

Now, that was a series that scared the bejesus out of me. This V crap is for little girly men.

I loved Night Court.....Harry Anderson was really cool. Last time I saw that guy on TV, he was in New Orleans doing Mardi Gras coverage for he Travel Channel a couple of years ago...he was bloated and slurring his words....obivously participating in the event as much as covering it.

That "Bawitaba" song drove me nuts the first time I heard it, by time 1 million on the radio, I was ready to climb the walls.

They are really hyping this remake, but I'm skeptical about how good it will be. I guess I'll watch the first couple of shows and make up my own mind. It's scheduled to start next Tuesday on ABC...

Beantown Bronco · 10-28-2009, 09:16 AM

Just noticed that it was supposed to be NBC and now it's ABC. Wonder how much $ changed hands there.

I bumped it as much for the Airwolfe references as anything. Pretty much serves as an SOS for DemonEaglez.

and re: your 2nd point......I've killed people for saying less.
