Aussie tv's second

[Reply #120 on:]

Hey, I signed up to this board just to post in this topic. I'm from WA, and to answer Grim's question - yes, WA did miss out on Bendin' In The Wind and I Dated A Robot, although I think some other states missed out on that last episode too. Anyway, looking forward to tonight's episode, even though I've already seen it - it's great watching it on TV with perfect quality.

Welcome to PEEL!

geez what is it with Western Australians and Futurama, most of the aussies on here are from WA!
hmm as I remember
4 Queenslanders
5 Westerns
2 NSW
2 Victorians

the most sparse state, has the most dense ratio of Futurama fans   

[Reply #122 on:]

dr dean your argument is  very peruasive.

[Reply #123 on:]

Hooray! Roswell That Ends Well tonight and A Tale Of Two Santas next week!
I still wish Futurama was given a chance in a primetime slot though.
Oh well, they are two of my all time favourite eps. 

[Reply #124 on:]

I think I'll only make Uber Mpegs Roswell that ends wellout, as is fav ep. In the future I'll only make Uber recordings of the 4ACV eps, seeing as I'll have the 3ACV on DVD next month 

PVR software at the ready for tonight

[Reply #134 on:]

I missed the first few minutes of Roswell for my season 3-4 tape!! AHH!! I've got it by 'other means' though...

I've just finished watching through the whole of my brand new season 2 DVD set, now for the commentaries...

[Reply #135 on:]

I know this is greedy but does anyone know how long we will have to wait for the season 3 dvd?

[Reply #136 on:]

Wow, that was great watching Roswell in tv quality! I love that episode. 

[Reply #137 on:]

Welcome to PEEL Beamer (I know it's not your 1st post, but your 2nd post!)

It is a great episode, one of my favourites (I can spell it like that and nobody will care!), I especially like the parts with Zoidberg and Truman. "I'm not hearing a 'no'..."

[Reply #138 on:]

Zoidberg just stole the show in my opinion, he was so funny.

I'm still a little confused as to the Fry thing - I mean, if his grandfather suddenly changed, wouldn't some aspects of Fry have changed too? Oh well, still a terrific episode. 

[Reply #139 on:]

Yer i agree big guy, "im meeting people and thats what matters". For mine it was the best futurama yet. Except for TWoF.
And beamer, not really because in the year 3000 fry would still be living that he would be in 1947 even with out knowing it. I just made things more confusing.

[Reply #140 on:]

Fry's grandparents never changed, Fry was always his own grandfather

@Aussie Guy- Why would I need to know the season2 set was in brisbane? I've had it since november!

[Reply #141 on:]

@Grim- You and your credit card... think your so good... I'll be in the angry dome. I think Season 2 doesnt match Season 1 though. Ah well you deserve a credit card for your Zapp and Kiff voices. 

[Reply #142 on:]

I can't believe channel 7 actually started showing season 4, maybe they aren't as bad as I thought :P

[Reply #143 on:]

Welcome to PEEL MasterZool!

No, they are that bad, they just have nothing to put on at 10:30 or 11:00. Although we are lucky to go through. Season 4 is small anyway.

[Reply #144 on:]

Yeah, you are right - I keep thinking that any differences with Fry would have changed from that episode on, but then I remember it occured in the 1940's, so any changes back then would have taken place right from the first episode. Oh well, the more I think about it, the more it confuses me, so I'll stop thinking about it.

Anyway, as much as I hate Channel 7, I'm happy that Futurama is back on, even if it's on a crappy timeslot.

[Reply #145 on:]

Yeah, its good to see channel 7 showing season 4. If Bender was trapped in the past for 1000 years then how could he have been there from the first episode...if that makes any sense. All these time things are so confusing it's best just not to think about it.

Does anyone know if and when channel 7 will be puting Scrubs back on?

[Reply #146 on:]

It's a sci-fi cartoon! It isn't meant to make sense!

[Reply #147 on:]

I GOT SEASON 2. Perth people get yours from jb hifi in the CBD, you get a free futurama shirt! @ carb, i think its gone to C7 heaven. Its been replaced by great programing like greeks on the roof (sarcasim)

[Reply #148 on:]

Thanks for the welcome alexvilagosh  .  Free shirt eh mikey?  I'm getting my season 2 from JB tomorrow, hopefully they've got the shirt here on the coast too  .

[Reply #149 on:]

What has the shirt got on it? I didn't get one... (stupid Melbourne JB's...)

[Reply #150 on:]

Nup no shirt for me either, dang.

[Reply #151 on:]

Dang!

[Reply #152 on:]

Has anyone noticed how all of Channel 7's shows seem to be ripping off popular shows on other channels?

Greeks on the roof = Kumars at No. 42
Big Bite = Comedy Inc.
The chat room = The Panel

And most of their rip-off shows only last 3 weeks, it's just pathetic.

All I ever see on Channel 7 are either ripping off other shows, and any idea they get that's half original is a pathetic lifestyle or reality TV show.

How dare they put great programming like Futurama on at 10:30pm and then put complete CRAP on during primetime?! Damn you Channel 7! And damn you FOX as well for cancelling such a great show!

Okay, my rant is over now. 

[Reply #153 on:]

I got my S2 DVD from Target Inaloo, so for Perth people if the city is too far just go there. I think they only have 6 copies so they might be sold out already.

[Reply #154 on:]

I saw the season 1 dvd at target, so it would be a good place to check anywhere in Australia.

@Beamer ALL the shows they have are ripped off I get really annoyed at that. They can't get any of their own ideas!

[Reply #155 on:]

I read (in The Australian newspaper media liftout I think) that channel 7 had to pay a lot of money to the people at Kumars at No. 42 so that they could make that Greeks on the roof.

[Reply #156 on:]

Yeah they did, and then they screwed up by putting it on at the same time so fans of the Kumars arent even going to watch Greeks on the Roof.

[Reply #157 on:]

The host on Greeks of the Roof puts on such a strong accent that it can be very hard to understand what she is saying.

[Reply #158 on:]

I can.
And Fry isnt his own grandfather. Theres a theory that there is an infinte amount of univereses and then if you change something then the alternate goes on and you still exist in yours and dont notice anything.

Fry could go back and kill himself and he'd stil; exist by that way of thinking.

[Reply #159 on:]

Wow, Australian Guy, thanks for confusing the hell out of me, I really appreciate it. 

I do understand what you're saying though, but I'm pretty sure it happened in the same universe. Hell, both theories could work.
