No, not that crap you experience everyday. The TV Show starring Damien Lewis. Anyone here ever watch that? I really enjoyed it. Lots of quirky humor. It didn't last, though. NBC cancelled it. You all complain about Fox, NBC is by far the worst.

How about My Own Worst Enemy? They let that one run nine episodes before they bailed. That show had tons of potential. I know they're scared to sink futher into debt and that competition is fierce but give a show a fair shot. Bionic Woman? Lot's of issues with the show but how about some resolution? Maybe like the old days, a good ole made for TV movie to wrap it up.

I hate NBC.

And don't even get me started on MSNBC. Even the MS in MSNBC bailed from that stinker.

No.

NBC had a lot of good shows. (Kings). But Life, My Own Worst Enemy and Bionic Woman were all amazingly terrible. Decent concepts. Terrible execution.

They made it stupid.

Youtube video is loading too slow on my connection but I remember the scene. Other than some obvious creative license with the scene I didn't have a major problem with it. But I completely disagree with your opinions which mean that they are, in fact, wrong from my opinion of the facts in which I choose to consider as fact.

I watched all of My Own Worst Enemy and there was one scene where Cromwell's and NBC's anti-conservative leanings were so blatantly demonstrated that, even though I enjoyed most of what I watched, it pissed me off. However, I've always enjoyed Christian Slater (bet you can't get from him to Kevin Bacon in seven steps!) and I really feel that they did him wrong.

I know a lot of people hated Bionic Woman but I liked it for the most part. I enjoyed Life immensly but I haven't seen the second season to completion. I have it pre-ordered from Amazon along with season two of The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Also, the writer's strike really fouled a lot of shows up.

Hahaha, Bionic Woman was so bad. It was so stupid. I've seen bits of the original series and it seemed quite camp and amusing, but this recent thing was so stupid and generic. I have no idea how that got past the pilot.

All I recall of bionic woman is that Michelle Ryan is pretty damn gorgeous.

To me it seemed kind of like a Battlestar Galactica "pre-reunion".

Surface was another show I enjoyed but was stupid. I never watched it when it aired, just Netflix Watch it Now. Too many subplot directions.

I didn't mind life. Never understood why he gave the GNX away though.
