Titan, you talking about Dollhouse? Had some potential, but cancelled, just like all of Joss Whedon's shows...

No, I think it's called Tru Calling. Some supernatural-type thing. But Carnivale was also cancelled after two seasons?

Yea Carnivale was cancelled due to the budget being to big for the producers.

Post by **ryanrich** » 16 Mar 2011, 13:26

Oh right, yeah Tru Calling also only made it to 2 seasons before being canned in 2005. Carnivale too.

It's great shows like Carnivale and Firefly that have pretty unique characters and complex stories that get cancelled because the mainstream US crowd just doesn't get it and the ratings drop when they switch to brainless popcorn crap like Two And A Half Men.

Must be reruns. The box set was available years ago. I think season 2 also only had like seven episodes or something like that.

I don't need to use tapatalk, I just open the website from my phone's browser as I would from my PC... granted, everything's a bit smaller, but zooming in is not a problem.

There was a series that started on M-Net after the Sunday night movie about the US goverment and a conspiracy. Looked pretty good... anyone know the name?

So with Smallville reaching it's eventual end, there of course has to be a succeeding series. At one stage, the concept of a Batman-less Robin back story was promoted by WB, but it seems like they settled in the end for a remake of Wonder Woman. I'm not convinced that TV.com considers this a good idea, based on the following preview.

1. A high-fashion accessory that doubles as a deadly boomerang, the
Golden Tiara is like Wonder Woman’s hood ornament: the first thing you see careening toward you before wonder-impact. This V-shaped version reveals a small amount of forehead space below her brow, which might add a sleek, tribal element to the costume—but nonetheless could make for unsightly forehead tan lines.

2. Wonder Woman has traditionally leaned toward a heavier, evening look with her Wonder Makeup. This version forgoes the blue shadow and instead draws the enemy’s eye to a glossy, crimson lip, adding extra oomph to powerful lines like, “In the name of the mighty Aphrodite and the United States of America, I command you to eat my fists, Baroness von Gunther!”

3. If the Golden Tiara is her hood ornament, then the Bustier of Righteousness is akin to Wonder Woman’s grill and headlights. As such, we find her high-beams a little widely set here for our tastes. We think this might have something to do with Title 36 of the U.S. Flag and Patriotic Symbols Code, which states that “placement of the Bald Eagle’s head should be such that it has ample room to breathe.”

4. The legendary Lasso of Truth, or Lariat of Hestia, was forged by Hephaestus from the golden girdle of Gaea. That’s common knowledge. What makes this Lasso of Truth so remarkable, however, is that it also doubles as a Golden Braided-Weave of Truth—for those moments when Wonder Woman needs to infiltrate a star-studded Grammy party disguised as Alicia Keys.

5. According to legend, Wonder Woman's Bulletproof Bracelets were made from Athena's shield, which itself was fashioned from the unbreakable hide of the great she-goat, Amalthea, who suckled Zeus as an infant. Unfortunately, that material has become impossible to find since Zeus-suckling she-goats were added to the endangered species list. Instead, these cuffs were made from a titanium alloy, then coated in a thin layer of the same substance Pauly D. uses in his hair, rendering them virtually indestructible.

6. The Shiny Pants of Freedom will likely be unfamiliar to Wonder Woman purists more accustomed to the Star-Spangled Spanks of yesteryear. But give them a chance. These all-weather bottoms not only offer stylish protection from the elements, but will also provide us with endless excitement in their ongoing battles against the evil Cameltoe of Injustice.
