Original Special K cereal. Not the Original they call original now.

Oh, I didn’t know they changed it. Haven’t had it since I was a kid. That sucks. Seems like everyone giving bad reviews on it. It was the only non-sugar cereal that tasted good dry.

Honeynut yes, reg no. But I used to have acid reflux as a kid so I would fill OG special K into baggies and take them to school. Helped a lot. Special K tasted sugary even though they didn’t coat it in sugar, regular Cheerios didn’t.

Martin Starr is too cool now lol. Freaks and geeks might be hilarious with all the same actors now.

Why would Freaks and Geeks need another season? It ended fine.

Some shows are great in part because they knew where to end. F&G, AtlA, The Good Place all for example.

Seems all the more relevant today. They should revive the series, as long as Phil and Lem are still around.

Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?

That show ended way too soon.

Man, that show was so likable, but I could never get over the pro-Confederate vibes, even with all the staff denials.

Call me crazy, but if I was going to bring back a series doomed by its association with Joss Whedon I’d give The Nevers another shot. I thought it was fun and then the Whedon thing happened and Covid happened and people seem to just have agreed it wasn’t worth it and gone home.

As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.

(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)

Problem with that is that almost everyone who was interesting is dead. Actor wise.

There’s talk of a reboot, and that’s not what anyone wanted at all…

If they did another series they could do it without rebooting, just a different set of characters in the same ‘verse. Maybe meeting the originals at various times.

I have zero interest in that either. Those specific characters were the whole appeal to that show.

The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.

Wish wasn’t cancelled, yes!

Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It’s likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.

So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.

But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.

I agree but at the same time I’m happy it got an actual ending instead of being drug out because of its popularity.

What they did was perfect, and there’s no way they could have just added stuff and had it be the show it was. They stuck to the vision and nailed the fuck out of it.

But I could also sit and watch a lot of episodes of reboots 2-5000 or whatever. The chemistry of that cast playing those characters with that writing was all magic.
