Take a TV show or movie that you loved, and give an example of the **worst** possible follow-on to it. For example: _Dark Angel in Outer Space_- Max is kidnapped by aliens and wanders the galaxy trying to get back to Earth. ---

**The Twenty Commandments** - God comes back to give Moses ten more rules, including such rules as, ‘thou shalt not sit crosslegged for more than an hour, lest ye cramp’. They were widely regarded to be somewhat of a letdown from the first ten. ---

_Lethal Weapon 5 - We Really Are Too Old For This Shit_. Riggs and Murtaugh ham it up while pushing their walkers on their real last day on the police force (they mean it this time). They will tell us that guns are bad, then procede to shoot anyone who disagrees with them. At ten minute intervals a gun battle/car chase/ building explosion/ kung fu fight will break out for no reason. Villains will say pointless dialogue about some grand scheme to kill our heroes. Other cops will be killed in gushy blood squib explosions on rain soaked LA streets (while it will never rain), but these two old farts will save the day in their usual sweaty, blood-soaked way. Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, and Chris Rock will collect huge paydays for keeping straight faces during their pitiful dialogue. Eric Clapton, David Sanborn, and Michael Kamen will make inarticulate noise on their instruments (again) and call it a soundtrack. ---

_Costanza_: George moves in with his parents. The season finale is a thinly-disguised effort to see if he or his father can yell the loudest. ---

_Fourth Blood_ - John Rambo goes back to Afghanistan and finds the proud noble people who fought off the Soviets are now in serious need of a good ass-kicking. In between monosyllabic speeches about being betrayed in Vietnam, he laments shifting U.S. foreign policy. Also: _Absolutely the Last Temptation of Christ_ (from a Gilbert Gottfried routine) ---

_ **Who’se line Was it Anyway** _? I love the show, and always will, but I can see a point in time where Colin, Wayne, Chip, Drew, and Ryan may get a little too old and amnesic to keep ad libbing all the time. The arthritis alone would keep them from staying with Laura Hall . . . _ **The Blair Witch 3: Ghosts Gone Wild!** _ More collegiate hijinks, and this time, the ghosts get naked!

Remember the Titans II: More sappy, crappy singing and momma jokes at a nursing home game of touch football. All looks lost when the star tackle (played by a surprisingly lucid Abe Vigoda) goes down in the shower with a broken hip, but somehow they pull it together to beat the previously undefeated Sunny Dale Retirement Community Devildogs. Andy Griffith plays a coach who’s job is taken by Ozzie Smith (is he even stil alive? If not we can always reanimate his corpse) With cameo’s by Bob Hope, Catherine Hepburn and Don Ameche reprising his role from Cacoon. ---

For movies I disliked… **You’ve Got Mail II** - Meg and Tom get married but soon start new on-line romances via e-mail with two NEW people. Watch the hijinx when we learn they were really just e-mailing each other again. **Look Who’s Talking 3: The Teen Years** - Sadly Hollywood missed the point while making this movie. **Almost Famous II: Workin’ at the car wash** - William scores a gig writing a short “where are they now” article for Parade Magazine. He tracks down Russell scrubbing tires at the local car wash. Penny Lane makes a brief appearence as the lovable and funny junkie prostitute. For movies I liked… **Lawrence of Arabia II: - 2045** - The DNA of T.E Lawrence is extracted from a pair of his old underpants and Lawrence is cloned to help Arabs fight off a the evil Volton space fleet. ---
