Amen to that. There is some funny Mike stuff, but after Trace left it went downhill ( IMO ) and I hardly watched it on SciFi. And I was a card-carrying Mistie back in the day - still have all those CC Thanksgiving day marathons on tape.....Quote:

I think only kids and independently wealthy bums are hardcore. Go figure.Quote:

Joel was never the head writer. It was Mike Nelson from the beginning.Quote:

Joel was great, invention exchange was the best part of the show. Also, I miss the CC turkey day marathons. :cry:Quote:

That show was yet annother of those brillliant shows that got canned because networks suck and so do their viewers.Quote:

Or if M$ did it to the other two. Or if Nintendo did it to the other two. It's just not good for business, or gamers, in general.
I really hope the PSP being on the horizon finally motivates Nintendo to do something to get back into the swing of things and start getting with the times. It'd be a shame if they ended up going out of the hardware business simply because of their stubborn refusal to change. Despite the failures with the 32X, Sega CD, and Saturn, at least Sega went down swinging with the DC... :sonic:
Xbox has sold 59,595 units in Japan this year.
I think it was also F and G that Trace ( Dr. Forrester ) was a teacher on as well. Yea, I remember Joel on it - I think it was one maybe two episodes. Undeclared was another equaly good Apatow Productions show that was cut down too early. TV's Frank was also involved with the first year of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Trace is now a writer for America's Funniest Home Video's - they've all been working / doing stuff behind the scenes. And yea, invention exchanges were definately Joel's thing - that was basically his whole stand-up routine.Quote:
