The show? Did you have an unrelated revelation of some kind? Just wanted to post a new thread? What?

Good show. It lead me to invent the term "Captain Obvious." Not that anyone ever believes me, but...

Maybe he belched?

I liked the show--liked Sliders better. Like QL less since Backula has made a mockery of Roddenberry...

Okay. If we're talking about the show, what I saw of it I liked some of the time and was bored other times. Anything with a sci fi slant is going to get my attention. I just hated when the female narrator at the beginning of each episode sounded like she was going to cry whe she would say the last word. "Home." Waaaaaaaah!! Boo hoo.

yes the show, maybe my "oh boy" was too subtle (it is the line that sam says at the beggining/end of each show)

Its okay. We figured it out.

I have to agree with Cromas. The commercials were spectacular; at least, compared with the show.

i think it was a great show

Awsome shot. Great acting for a sci-fi production at the time. Mind you, back then sci-fis were not at all taken seriously by audience or actors as they are today. I liked how the actors didn't act as if they thought the idea of their show was stupid or silly (aka Star Treck and Logun's Run). And it had a really awsome ending!!

Although a very sad one :/

I thought the premise was great, but the execution was limited. By that I mean that the time-frame that Sam kept jumping back to was so small - what was it, fifties and sixties? I would have preferred a much larger time-scale for more diversified and entertaining plots.

I believe there were larger jumps. In one of the last episodes he ended up in 1860s and in another one he was in the "distant future" of 1999

What the...? Back when? Didn't this show aire only ten years ago? Frankly, it was shows like this that I didn't take seriously, not the genre. BTW, it's spelled "Trek".

Actually, this show is why I don't watch the current Star Trek. I developed such a dislike for the actor I no longer can watch his work.

What a shock, dAN. You've been expressing your feelings about Scott Bakula for quite some time. To each his own. I don't mind the guy.

Oh come on. If not for Mr. Beckett (spelling?) then surely for ziggy? this program rocked!

Post by **hierachy** » Tue Dec 30, 2003 10:08 pm

And that catchy theme tune... wow

Ever notice that Scott Bakula rhymes with Count Dracula? That's because they both suck!

Ziggy? Is that the shrimp who looks like the "Fear Factor" twerp 20 years from now? I hated him and his bloody pager.

I didn't notice that. Count Chocula. Blah. Blah. Blah.
