> [@needscoffee](#): > > Better Off Ted The first five seasons, please. The sixth and final season kinda phoned it in, but the 1-hour series finale when the battle-beast clones got loose and the gang had to take up Phil and Lem’s forgotten weapon prototypes to contain them - that was awesome. Ted: “Who makes a gun that shoots marshmallow goo? Really!” Phil: “I thought it might be good for crowd control. . .and besides, as a child, I LOVED _Bugsy Malone_”. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Could you bring me back a video of the _Firefly_ cast party after Season 5? You know, the one everybody **swears** never happened. The one that caused Jewel and Summer to blush furiously every time they had a scene together for the next 6 months. The party that gave rise to all of those rumors about Nathan and Adam. That one? I don’t care about Nathan, Adam, or Summer, but I will not participate in anything that causes distress to Jewel. I’m surprised and dismayed that you’d even ask. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > The one thing that I’ve had on my Amazon Wish List is that epic 12-movie series of Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” starring a pre-Man With No Name Clint Eastwood as Roland Deschain, Bud Cort as Jake, Gina Torres as Susannah and Christian Bale as Eddie. Please make sure it’s the Extended Edition that completely rewrites all that “Song of Susanna” nonsense. I made a mistake here. I think there’s a version that replaced Bud Cort with Tom Sawyer (the actual historical figure from Alternate Timeline K3). I believe it was all directed by Christopher Nolan with artistic input from Sergio Leone. ---

My wife and I have been wanting to see the 2006-2010 episodes of _Unsolved Mysteries_, especially the segments dealing with [Ray Gricar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Gricar), Natalee Holloway, the DC Sniper shootings, and [Jennifer Kesse](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Kesse). We realize that two of these have been solved or all but solved, but we’d love to see Robert Stack narrating them. A very happy 91st birthday to Mr. Stack this year, by the way. ---

> [@](#): > > I know it only lasted a single season, but I’d like to see the whole of Police Squad, not just the first six episodes. The only problem is that the epilogues started getting too damned long later in the season, when they insisted on naming _everyone_ who ended up at Statesville Penitentiary. I can’t imagine how they’d have handled that if they went to a second season! ---

Oh, my goodness, where to start? How about the Lord D’Arcy movie series that Randall Garrett said perfectly captured his prose just the way he imagined it? Glory Road, of course, the Stardancer Trilogy and the Retief TV series, which showed what could be accomplished with a limited budget and lots of imagination. All seven seasons of Tim Reid’s “Frank’s Place,” and while you’re at it, the whole WKRP set WITH the original music. Oh, and the Modesty Blaze movies — I’ll be in my bunk. ---

The complete 7 season series of the live action _The Tick_ with Patrick Warburton and Nestor Carbonell. The Terry Gilliam directed _Good Omens_. The women-all-nude edition of the original _Charlie’s Angels_. _Labyrinth II: Jareth’s Journey_. And the proper, live action, version of _Dragonlance_. ---

I’ll probably be killed, but I’d like to see the other three seasons of _Enterprise_. And maybe some of the originals of those episodes that Braga copied but had the audacity to change. ---

Season 2 of _The Inside_, _Traveller_, _The Unusuals_ and _Fear Itself_. I saw the first seasons of those on TV a couple summer agos, but was always too busy to watch them when they returned. And stop by the music section and see if they have any gold remasters of Beethoven Symphony 10-49. (on a more serious note, those of you annoyed by lack of answers in the last season of Lost really need to watch the epilogue episode made for the Season 6 DVD…but please download it, don’t buy it and support studio tactics like this) ---

> [@](#): > > ETA: BTW, I thought that I, Robot, was entertaining while still retaining the basic principles of the original story. Robot tries to remove the “human error” from humanity in order to protect humans. What was your main issue with that flick? We could devote an entire thread to this. I think we did, in fact. I hated it. Here’s what I said in a previous thread: > [@](#): > > I, Robot – It didn’t start life as an adaptation of Asimov’s book, and if it had stayed that way, it would’ve been better and more understandable. But just changing the names of the characters to those of Asimov’s does not make it an adaptation. And, again, the philosophical differences are huge (no matter what anyone says about the “Zeroth Low of Robotics”. read your Asimov again.) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=479014&highlight=Robot+Movie+Asimov](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=479014&highlight=Robot+Movie+Asimov) Essenytially, they took an unrelated (except that it accepted Asimov’s three laws) screenplay and slapped the names of the characters from Asimov’s book on it. That’s like taking _The Red Badge of Courage_, changing the names of the soldiers to Rhett Butler and Ashley Wilkes, and saying you’ve “adapted” _Gone With the Wind_. 'Cause, you know, it’s about how the Civil War affected people. On top of which the movie was filled with robots acting _completely_ unlike Asimov’s Three=Law-Based creations. The movie is practically the anti-Asimov. as I noted above, Harlan Ellison wrote a pretty damned faithful (and rather Citizen Kane-esque) screenplay that had Asimov’s blessing, which has been published. Some people on this Board have been adamant in rejecting it, but I think it’d make a helluva movie, and it’s certainly in the Infinite DVD Store. ---
