Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill-This-Thread II: The Return of the Living Dead

The above post was meant to be humorous, Stealth. But, seriously, I think it's unfair to judge a guy's body of work wholesale based just on what you've read combined with "issue summaries". Alias was a quality series, start to finish. Yes, it was gritty and lots of unpleasant things happened. But don't dismiss Alias based on plot summaries. It's unfair to those of us who appreciate some, if not all, of Bendis's works.

Okay, I'm officially lost. Still, my confusion of the analysis of the works of whatzisname will not kill this thread!

Mine either, whoever he is/was/will be.

Rockhopper Lad,

Lost? Have you tried Hari Krishna? (Old Muppet Movie joke)

as opposed to a "new" Muppet movie joke.

Lardy, I admit I was unfair and I apologize for offending you -- I assure you that was never my intention. I also apologize to anyone I might have offended with that post.

Most of the time I can just laugh at writers I don't like, but sometimes I just feel so bitter that it results in regrettable posts like that one.

And, to steer this thread back where it was heading: I love the first Muppet movie, especially the scene where the electric mayhem gives the Studebaker a wild paint job.

Not offended exactly, Stealth, but definitely felt I should call you out on that one. So no apology necessary!

Muppet Movies? Bah! They pale in comparison to the series that started it all! (But the first movie was the only watchable one!)

By which you mean Sesame Street, yes?

Thanks, Lardy.

I like the first Muppet Movie a lot, I think I saw it about ten times when I was a little girl. Not a fan of any of the ones that followed, though.

I can't decide whether I like The Muppet Show or the peak years of Sesame Street better, but at the moment, I'm leaning toward Sesame Street because I'm enjoying the heck out of the DVD set Sesame Street: Old School Volume 2, because it covers 1974-1978, which were the years I was watching it, before my family moved to South America (they had Muppet Show reruns there, but they showed only the version of Sesame Street that was produced in Mexico for all the Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.)

Definitely preferred The Muppet Show over Sesame. It was more subversive and was pure entertainment without all that learning rubbish!

I haven't seen Sesame Street in so long, I wonder how it would hold up. Actually, I haven't seen either in so long, but Muppet Show memories linger more.

I've been told that Sesame Street jumped the shark when they made Mister Snuffleupagus visible to all the other characters. It's been downhill ever since.

I only vaguely recall Snuffleupagus.

Does anyone know who wrote the original "jump the shark" episode of Happy Days?

Joe Glauberg and Walter Kempley.

Which do you think they are more proud of:

writing that episode

or

creating a cultural phenomenom

Neither. They're equally ashamed of both.

Some say Buffy jumped the shark in Season 5 with the intro of Dawn. I say it never did.

Green Lantern has fought the Shark.

on many occassions. Once, the Shark was working for Qward, even.

Who didn't work for Qward?

Ralph Dibny, but only because they wouldn't hire him.
Also, Pete Ross failed the drug test (he didn't take enough, not even in is obsessive-corporate-exec days of DCCP).

Ralph was subcontracted though.

That's a bit of a stretch.

ouch. that's just plain wrong.
