 OMG. The 4th Aussie Urban Legend (Following of course the legendary Ben, Rach and Ninaka). I always thought it was going to be me.

And the first to stick up for the poor other Aussies, those other 3 deny us! Denied, we are! Denied! Sorry for stealing the 4th spot!  I'm good at coming 4th, never in the medals though. I think getting to Space Pope will be near impossible with all the new rules...

  I haven't seen Futurama yet and Lone Gunmen is probably crap, and I'm basing that on the fact that it's on so late and Futurama is the exception so nerrrrr 

[Reply #325 on:]

Do you even know what it is?

[Reply #326 on:]

I think it's pretty obvious I don't....

[Reply #327 on:]

Its a spin off of the X-files. You know, THe lone gunmen? Those conspiracy geeks. They got their own show. It has novelty value.
Plus it has beutiful people.

[Reply #328 on:]

X files....? Oh I've heard of that....Never got into it....

I watched Russel Coight tonight and I wasn't expecting any new jokes....wasn't disappointed either....

Say what you will but the best thing Glenn Robbins ever did was Uncle Arthur....period

[Reply #329 on:]

I can't get the chat to work either.

Russel Coight is just Russel hitting his head or getting bitten. Every episode.

[Reply #330 on:]

All I watch on tv is Futurama, Simpsons, occasionally South Park and a movie if there's any good ones on....I've so gone off tv I used to be a tv-holic when I lived at home but over the last few years it's gotten so boring that I don't bother....

[Reply #331 on:]

I pretty much never watch tv either... there is nothing on!

[Reply #332 on:]

Or me...
I probably watch an average of 1 hour of TV a day. I still watch the simpsons re-runs and Futurama. And besides Futurama i almost never watch any other channel than Ten. Occasionally i watch whatever movie is on, but thats about it.
Otherwise, when i'm home im usually on the PC doing something... but i'm out more often than not, at friend's/work/school etc.

[Reply #333 on:]

Yeah, I spend my spare time on the computer rather than in front of the TV.

Just saw last night's Futurama episode. I personally found the plot pretty hard to follow, but still - it had it's funny moments. Like how Melllvar kept on electricuting the dead guy when he got mad and Zapp Brannigan reading the beeped "no" as a "Double yes!" It had some funny quotes in it too, like "How can you do a spoken word version of a rap song?!" 

Still, I think I would've found it much better if I was a Star Trek fan. I might show it to my dad when he gets home, I'm pretty sure he's a bit of a Trekkie, and he ocassionally watches Futurama anyway.

[Reply #335 on:]

Yeah I forgot to mention the Melllvar thing "with 3 L's....!

Now I know where the name comes from heh-heh
Watched it again today and loved it....

[Reply #336 on:]

OH, My, God!!!

Enterprise isnt on tonight is it?

[Reply #337 on:]

Enterprise is on at 11:30 Aussie Guy

[Reply #338 on:]

YAY, Did you see merrical and Rosso?
Pretty good, and adequate replacement for Micallef.
But like The ABC and science shows, Why Cant Nine have more than one Live comedy Show?

[Reply #339 on:]

Merrick and rosso where awesome back in there triple J days. I actualy saw one of there gigs a couple of months back, so I hope there show uill be good.

[Reply #340 on:]

Damn, I missed Merrick & Rosso!

10:30's an awful timeslot for a live comedy show...

[Reply #341 on:]

I didn't watch it either. Wonder if it was good.

No Futurama next week  Bye Futurama for a year or two. Or 6 months. 0r 2 weeks.

[Reply #342 on:]

Ahhhh!!! Where did you see that Alex?
Tuesday wasn't available on EBroadCast this morning... So i've been in the dark until now...

EDIT : Ahhh, i just rechecked... any chance of it coming back next week? It's being replaced with a special thing not another series...

[Reply #343 on:]

Herald Sun on Wednesday has the TV guide for the next week.

There isn't anyone else from Melbourne here is there?

[Reply #344 on:]

I'm from that area... but we don't get the paper all that often... We get news from the TV news and comics from the net... other than taht we don't use it anyway... (We still get the local paper though)

[Reply #345 on:]

It's being replaced with a behind-the-scenes special of Pirates Of The Carribean. Since it's a special, and not a series - it might just be a one-week thing. Here's hoping Futurama's on the week after that anyway.

[Reply #346 on:]

Well thats kind of a good sign, shows usually have a break in between series.

[Reply #347 on:]

A better sign would be them having the first episode of season 5 next week.

[Reply #348 on:]

True, But theres still hope considering its a "special".

[Reply #349 on:]

Crimes of the Hot is great, but I dont care if C7 never play it. 

[Reply #350 on:]

I think they should just skip straight to the two episodes I haven't seen, Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV and The Devils Hands.... I'll get the DVD's eventually, I just want to see them.

What the hell is wrong with PEEL? A post made 4 1/2 hours ago in off topic is still only 11 places down the list. It was half an hour between two posts over the whole board, both by me. It seems everyone is too scared by the new rules. The board now is way too tight. And this is the only place I can say it, too, in fear of getting kicked! It's a joke now this board, one of the few boards which is good and used to have regular posting, all of which was mostly on topic and had some meaning, unlike every other board.

I think the western world is asleep...while the eastern world is peeling (Us)

[Reply #352 on:]

Also Dark Angel is on now i think.

What suburb do you live in?
What school do you go to?
Do you use MSN?

[Reply #355 on:]

I cant believe I missed futurama I'd given up on it returning and didn't bother to look for it anymore I'm very pissed off. The Merrick and Rosso show is a copy of an english show that SBS used to show on Thursday afternoons (did anyone else see it) both are good though.

[Reply #356 on:]

What was that one?

[Reply #357 on:]

Good news everyone! Well, not particularly good for you, but good for me, as I have now seen every single episode of Futurama! Ever! Hooray for zoidyzoid!

@Alex- I don't use MSN much, but anyone here is welcome to add me: zoidyzoid@hotmail.com

[Reply #358 on:]

I've seen them all except for Less Than Hero, Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles, Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV and The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings. And that's only 4 episodes.

However, I haven't seen Mothers Day or AOI1 since they first aired on Aussie TV, so I can't remember much from them. I should have seen them both again by the end of the week though - I'm... aquiring Anthology Of Interest 1 as we speak... Hey, if I don't say anything specific, I can't get in trouble!

Also, if anybody wants to add me to their MSN list: Beamer_SP_Games@hotmail.com

[Reply #359 on:]

Cool, mind if I do? I'll probably never get to actually chat to you, but I feel better having more contacts 
As for the episodes you haven't seen, here are my verdicts (non- spoiling unless indicated).
Less Than Hero- I like it, but some seem to hate it. For me one of the better McSeason 5 episodes.
Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles- Okay, not great, has some really good moments.
Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV- Not good. Some of it made me almost glad that Futurama has been cancelled, but some parts were good.
The Devil's Hands Are Idol Playthings-

Show spoiler

I'm not going to give anything away,

but I really liked it.
