Which one of these short-lived TV shows do you think you would enjoy the most?

[MCheetah]

THE PRESTON EPISODES. David Alan Grier (holding up a dollar bill): "I... Got... Mine!"

♫ Homeboys in Outer Space! Mercenary Brothers! There for one another! ♫

No, Pepper Dennis is NOT a food dish with fried onion bits and pepper sauce. STOP calling it a food dish!

And yeah, I pretty much only put this trash show, The Game, in for @DizzyDesii and all the other women.

SHASTA MCNASTY (This is the only correct choice, here.) (UPN, half-hour comedy, 2000)

THE PRESTON EPISODES (FOX, sitcom, 1995)

HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE (UPN/THE CW, sitcom, 1998)

THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY (also known as "LET'S ROB MICK JAGGER") (ABC, half-hour comedy, 2007)

PEPPER DENNIS (THE WB/THE CW, comedy-drama, 2006)

Castle Rock looks like my kinda show. I usually enjoy thrillers/"darker" themed shows and movies.

[hahahmm]

Dunno but Homeboys in Outerspace was one of the dumbest show ideas in history. Nobody who saw it had any clue what it was about or why they should watch. Had they just did a 1:1 copy of the original British show (Red Dwarf) it might have worked but they got too far away from it and screwed up the order they tried to tell the story in.

[MCheetah]

What? No way!
You callin' Red Dwarf (but better) dumb?
THIS is peak television right here!

[hahahmm]

I was a Red Dwarf fan when it came out so I said: nope. The chick they had in the tight suit looked hot tho. But that's not worth watching as ratings proved.

[MCheetah]

The funny thing is, the theme song (which is still catchy), says this show takes place in the 21st century. Which means anytime between right now and 2099. I doubt the late 1990s "space goth" aesthetic many of these shows had (including and especially "Lexx") will make a comeback by the 2090s, but it's fun to imagine, right?

[hahahmm]

Well bell bottoms are back so you never know... but until shows stop being obsessed with acting like 80% of people are homosexual/lesbian I don't need any new shows. I forgot about Lexx. That was a good show overall.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont watch The Game reboot. Season 4-9 on BET were a mess. I only like The Game CW Season 1-3. Never heard of the other shows you mentioned

[DizzyDesii]

Cbs plays reruns of the version i like

[DizzyDesii]

Plus The Game was not shortlived. Its reboot is more of a sequel/spinoff that continues but focuses on Jason’s daughter

[MCheetah]

REALLY? 😱 No way! You DON'T love The Game?
So you're saying... You're a woman and you hate The Game, and NOT The Player?


And isn't YOUR version of The Game (seasons 1 through 3) short-lived? Anyway, I was referring to the trash reboot from 2021. It's already canceled ("not renewed"). So yes, the 2021 spinoff of the CW/BET show, is short lived.

And I don't know who Jason or Jason's daughter, is. (I thought you said you didn't watch/like it?)

[DizzyDesii]

I dont need to watch the show to know the preview is about Jasons daughter and feature cameos from the OG cast. Malik and his mom are still main characters but Malik wasn't even likeable season 1-9 so i wouldn't watch for him. I only watched 1-9 for Melanie and Derwin but theyre so toxic, i dont even care to see their cameos in the reboot

[DizzyDesii]

And the og version was technically not shortlived. It just continued on a diff channel/station

[MCheetah]

"I only watched seasons 1 through 9 for Melanie and Derwin, but they are so toxic, I don't even care to see their cameos in the reboot."

And of course the fairy tale, true love story of Jason and Kelly Pitts, right?
(And yes, I did have to look that up online. I don't even know their character names.)


And I TOLD you Brittany Daniel always trying to play "black white-girls," dressed up like 1998 Faith Evans doing her 1930s Chicago queenpin cosplay and sh*t, LOL!

[DizzyDesii]

I told you Brittany didn't play that role until season 4 to taunt her ex husband. Season 1-3 she played similar to her joe dirt self. Season 5/6/7/8 she wasn't even on the show. Season 9 she returned as her joe dirt self. He played a cheap controlling husband Jason and she played Kelly who was from a trailer park but decided to be a housewife and mother to get out of it. Then he left her when she said she initially intended to gold dig him but fell for him instead. So like i said you were wrong in regards to kellys character. And her haircut in the pic was partially due to her having cancer irl so her hair was growing back after being cut off

[exitseven]

Wow. These actually were real TV shows. I thought you were kidding I guess I pick C

[MCheetah]

SH*T! I should've included Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills! Gohan's favorite show!

And yes, I did watch this show in 1995. And yes, I wanted to f*ck the sh*t out of Leslie Danon at the time.

I enjoyed the drama of Misery, the book. So this is my choice. It might be kind of a safe choice, but I’m not so sure about the other offerings.

[Emiliamazing]

Never have seen any of the shows., Only read the book :-)

[AsaKyo]

The Preston Episodes, probably

[Topaz1979]
