Babylon 5:Crusade (Nothing that JMS does can be done in less than four years)
Cartoon Network used to do a programme called 'What a Cartoon!' Where they showed pilots for new series' (like Cow and Chicken, and Dexter's Lab). One of these was a really sureal one about a man and this really smart dog which I thought would have made a great series. It was probably too smart for CN's audience.
Oh, and whoever they fired after the first series of Johnny Bravo should be hauled back in. As far as I'm concerned it ended then.

Pinky and the Brain had a lot of potential until they threw Elmyra into the mix. The addition of one of television's most enduringly annoying characters would drag any show down. I'm really going to be ticked if Boomtown doesn't make a triumphant return next fall.

Pinky and the Brain was starting to get a little adult for the intended audience, so that's why they put Elmyra into it.
As for Boomtown, I hope it does get cancelled, its that POS show that pushed futurama into the depth of late night TV here in Australia (and it always runs long!)

When they put a show in a prime time slot like they did with P&tB, that's a good indicator that the intended audience is a little more adult than Elmyra fans tend to be. Sorry to hear about your Boomtown troubles. It was so great over here in the States...during the regular season (when there were new episodes) it was Futurama, King of the Hill, an hour nap, Law and Order Criminal Intent, and Boomtown.

(The Devil reminded me a lot of Beezlebot) Than those meddling uptight Christians from Iowa or Michigan or whatever had to go and complain. Bunch of morons who couldn't take a joke. Odd that Christians there objected, I remember a priest on the radio here talking about it being a good moral show.

Yes it is Alan Cumming. That reminds me, here is an amusing "revue" of the show

Thanks for bringing that review of "God, The Devil, and Bob" to my attention Tweek. I found it quite funny and quite scary that there are people who actually think so narrow-mindedly. I know he'll never read this because this website is for a sci-fi tv show and apparently Mr. Paul Barnes (The ultra-right wing conservative Christian reviewer) believes that anyone who likes Sci-fi is an atheist. I've come up with some counter-points to the points he made in his reciew. (Read the link Tweek posted before going on) 1. What do you mean alcohol is blasphemy? In the Bibile, Jesus turned water into wine, did he not? This means even Jesus likes a brewski occasionally. And what do you mean God can't do the things common people do because he is not ua commoner like us? He created us in the vision of him.
2. Just because some of the people James Garner has played in past films doesn't mean he himself is a bad person and undeserving to play God.
3. Jerry Garcia kicks ass.
4. Alan Cumming can't help what his last name is and changing it would be disrespecting his parents which is a sin.
5. So what if French Stewart played an alien on 3rd Rock From the Sun? Scientific evidence tells us that it is completely impossible for Earth to be the only inhabitable planet. Plus, just because someone likes Sci-fi doesn't mean they're an atheist. I have many Christian friends who like Star Wars and Star Trek (as well as Futurama).
6. Um...former means he graduated unlike you who is probably still stuck in the 3rd grade. Fractions too hard for ya Paul?
7."They talked about his daughter's period. That's Dirty." Honestly you remind me of kids I knew in Elementary School. Periods are a perfectly natural thing and mentioning them makes girls more aware of the changes affecting them. Haven't you ever seen "Carrie"? Wait, you probably didn;t watch that because it could be considered a sci-fi movie.
8. Doesn't man have the right to question authority?
9. They didn't make Hell look like a good place. That was the EMPLOYEE'S lounge we were seeing. not the place where people were being tortured.
10. The plot makes it funny you dumbass.
11. Okay, I hate Veggietales but they are based on the Bible (from what I understand at least) and they are a work of fiction yet how could you consider talking vegetables a sin? It's a bad idea for a show but not sinful.
Well, I'm done criticizing stupidity for one day. But remember whenever there is a show that's being pushed for censorship, books being burned, or lessons on evolution being kept out of school I will be there to try and stop the stupidity with logical and practical solutions.
