Re: Things you remember that don't exist anymore....
While I'm on the subject of TV shows. I miss proper star trek ie a TV series that had character development and was about a underlying story not a jj Abraham's test reel for star wars. One day I'd really like a TV series again but Sci Fi these days ain't what it used to be. It's all drama and Sci Fi lite crap... Nope not for me. The moment Sci Fi channel went to syfy science fiction as a genre went downhill.

On the subject of a series not becoming soulless to keep taking in the green - Breaking Bad.

Seinfeld went out on its shield as well. I think it remained funny right until the endRaider Bell wrote:On the subject of a series not becoming soulless to keep taking in the green - Breaking Bad.
I still find Family Guy pretty funny.

Yeah fair call GeM. Before breaking bad Seinfeld was my favourite show of all time. These pretzels are makin me thirsty!Green eyed Mick wrote:Seinfeld went out on its shield as well.

Another show that went out on a huge high was the Chappelle Show. Stunned people across the world when he canned it. Easily could have pumped another season or two out and brought home the stacks.

Actually about Seasons 3 to 4 up until 10 are the funniest.DBOT187 wrote:Well the old episodes are more funnier. Combination of nostalgia and just punchier jokes.

They got funny once they realised Homer was better value than Bart.
Seasons 1 and 2 are pretty much rubbish. The new ones are a bit too out there too, but still good. Just not as good.

Re: Things you remember that don't exist anymore....
I'm sure you heard the story of why he stopped the show.... Basically people were coming up to him everywhere quoting his lines and also some jokes that were a little over the top that comedy central wanted to do that he didn't agree with. Something like that.Raider Bell wrote:Yeah fair call GeM. Before breaking bad Seinfeld was my favourite show of all time.

I'm sure you read the story where he tried to do a comedy show recently and everyone just kept quoting his old lines and he just sat there read a book had a smoke and then buggered off.

Re: Things you remember that don't exist anymore....
It's been too long since I've watched season 2 and 1 to confirm or deny. The new stuff can be good from time to time and there are a few funny lines/occasionally an episode... This season though it's been more miss then hit for me.The Nickman wrote:Actually about Seasons 3 to 4 up until 10 are the funniest.DBOT187 wrote:Well the old episodes are more funnier.

Same with family guy sure there's a good episode here or there, or a funny moment but it's not as good and sometimes horrible.
Mind you the winner of worst shows at the moment has to go to how I met your mother... Horrible.

The Cat Burglar series was the best one, whichever that one is.

Re: Things you remember that don't exist anymore....
Back in 2004/5 I worked in IT for Fosters international...got to travel the world visiting the Fosters's Breweries doing IT, then heading out every night to 5 or 6 night spots to sample the locally brewed fosters product.... basically being paid to travel the world dinking free beer....wonderful timesWorm wrote:The UK Fosters is out of Liverpool is it not, or is that a rumour? That's what the barman over there told me.. I wasn't sure if it was even still ours?
RRA.. You are in the industry, is that true?
In those days, there were breweries in China, Vietnam, Fiji, and India. In England and NZ, Aussie beer was imported from Aus, but from memory they were looking to let local breweries brew the beer under license, but i am unsure if this went ahead or not...so potentially, Fosters could be brewed in Liverpool.
And FWIW, I was told by a brewer that Fosters and Crown is the same recipe, but brewed to different standards....so if a crown brew didn't make the required standard, it was bottled and sold as Fosters. A Fosters brew could make the crown standard, but would still be bottled and sold as Crown.
To all the people with telekinetic powers...please raise my hand.
