Swamp thing the series dvd

[rlemmon]

I Dodn't know this was out, I found it at walmart today for $30.00 it has seasons 1 and 2.   

I remember really likeing this when it was on.

That was a FANTASTIC series.  It was the sole reason I watched the usa network back in the day and as a result the reason I got hooked on the wwf (but that's another story).  I remember the show fondly because it was a time when major cable networks tried to make actual, original  programming that isn't a sitcom or a reality show.  Sadly the only network that still does this is sci-fi (which is owned by usa btw) and their track record is about 50/50. 

The thing that worried me about this was the low price and the lack of dvds.  Are you sure the ENTIRE first and second seasons are inculded or just the best picks?

Thats not entirely true.  USA still has a number of original shows such as the 4400, and I just watched the premiere of the show Breaking Bad on AMC, which looks like it will be a pretty good show and very different from anything else on tv.

Im positive. Its on my desk right now.  From the back cover:

"Includes the First 22 Episodes as They Were Meant to Be Seen"

It is a four disc set. On the sides of the inside plastic cases it has the seasons labled, there are 2 disc for each season with a couple extras on the 4th disc.

Cough... Burn Notice...Cough. USA also has Monk and The Dead Zone as great shows. FX puts out more critically acclaimed original series (The Shield, Damages, Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck) than most network channels.

Do you think before you post, or do you honestly think that whatever is in your head at the moment is the limit of all known intelligence?

[Howard_Casto]

Do you intentially come off as an ass or do you work really hard at it?

Well fx certainly puts out original content, wheather it's good or not is subjective.  (To me it's utter crap.)
I had forgoten about monk and remembered it after I posted but it was late and unlike yourself I don't really care that much about this thread so I didn't bother to re-post.  Psych is pretty horrible.  It's original content I'll give you that one so way to win out on a technicaliy, but it's a pretty hollow victory if you ask me. 

On closing your constant personal inslults for no apparent reason have gotten old, continue down this road and I'll have no choice but to report you and cite all of your personal attacks as justification for getting you banned.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.


EDIT: removed part of quote to focus in on what I was responding to.

HC, the reason people here (which often includes myself) are short with you is because you always act like what you say is law, even when presented with proof that it is wrong.  I think this thread is the closest I've ever seen you come to admitting you are wrong, but you make sure to point out that it's a "hollow victory" and that you don't care about this thread anyways.  People wouldn't be so cross with you if you were simply able to admit your mistakes instead of always acting like a child.

Besides, Burn Notice and Breaking Bad are both original shows not aired on SciFi, and are both good shows IMO, and Monk, The Shield, Rescue Me, and I think even Nip/Tuck have won several awards, which I guess would remove the "hollow victory" part of your statement.

That may be the most awkward threat I've ever seen on a message board.

I hope he copies me in on that report. I'm really curious.

[ChadTower]

I'm trying to figure out why it is so useless sounding.  Is it because of the presumption that his complaint has no possible result other than your being banned?  The possibility that you would not be banned, and his complaint would be handled in some manner other than the most extreme result in his benefit, seems out of the scope of the threat. 

[shardian]

Heh, I tried to report my own post so I could poll the mods on my "horribly offending content". Little did I know that you can't report your on posts. Well it makes sense to me at least!

[ChadTower]

There is probably nothing you can do about it anyway.  He didn't leave you any result other than total banning.

Sorry about that.  Keep in touch, bro.

Should I start a poll on if I should go on a rampage of rule breaking and random insulting before Saint gets home from work? It would be nice to go out in a blaze of glory.

[ChadTower]

I say go on a pizza and Taco Bell binge and go out in a cloud of flatulence.  That will be funnier.

[billf]

He calls you an ass and then threatens to get you banned for personal attacks. 

[ChadTower]

Maybe he can't spell...

...sharidan, are you sending commandos to do your dirty work again?  I've told you before personnel attacks are going to get you in trouble.

[rlemmon]

Aw hell, cant we all just get along ?
