What short-lived TV show was this?

I don’t know. I didn’t watch either of them.

Biggirl, do you remember who played Sam Clemens? It was Cameron Daddo in the 2003 movie and Mark Deklin in the 2010 miniseries.

If not, do you remember who the protagonist was? In the 2003 movie, it was astronaut Jeff Hale, played by Brad Dorman. In the 2010 miniseries, it was war journalist Matt Ellman, played by Tahmoh Penikett.

No, even Cinemax After Dark wouldn’t be able to do a series on his work. Anthony’s got some serious issues.

It was the journalist. One of the subplots was him trying to find his fiancee.

Pretty sure it was Cop Rock

It’s Anthony versus Morgan in Battle of the Network Piers.

Available on DVD for $6.75. $7.99 if you want Blu ray.

I predict this thread will be revised in 3 years by a newbie whose only post he will ever make will be “It was Riverworld.”

I prefer the finale, Slightly Moist Spot Over There

Are you sure it wasn’t Tiaras for Peers?

I think it was Riverworld, but as usual I’m late to the party.

The book was pretty good, how was the show?

I thought, like other posters, that it was Riverworld but whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Ahem.

As long as they stick to the first three novels, they should be fine. We don’t need to find out The Color of Her Panties.

I’m willing to bet money they won’t cover the whole series.

I think you’re misremembering through the fog of memory (as I did). When I first heard this news, I went back and re-read… It’s OMFG awful from the first book, with Bink’s participation in the rape trial, Chameleon’s portrayal in general, and Trent who’s actually fairly awful.

… maybe we’ll get another Riverworld miniseries, instead.
