Jericho, I remember fans sent in tons of peanuts to the studio as a protest.

Altered Carbon.

I know: the book series is very hit-and-miss, and they chose the hits.

I know: they changed the actor; but Joel Kinneman needs more time with Mireilla Enos, so you're gonna have to bring him back.

Awesome first season, terrible second one. They turned an awesome cyberpunk show into some bland, generic, chaste sci-fi.

The main actor for the second season looked like a kid trying to look tough but only making you laugh your ass off at him. Papa Doc isn't Takeshi Kovacs.

I think they changed directors between seasons? That would explain the mess.

F-ZERO. Most innovative racing series of all time. F-ZERO 99 is cute and all, but high-speed was never the same after 2003. Aero GPX proves the most promising project since, and it is good.

The Stargate series. They should make Stargate Ancients.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 59 minutes ago

I wanted another season of American Vandal on Netflix.

First season was good. But while the second season started slow, it ended with what I thought was a pretty intense emotional pivot.

You begin with a poop joke, and end with a commentary on the illegal sharing of a persons intimate photos online and the harassment and blackmail that can come from that. It was really really good. I wanted to see what else they could come up with.

Light pickup trucks.

Coyote vs Acme

The movie is already completely finished, but some "genius" thinks that they'll make more money by shelving it and claiming it for a tax-writeoff.

The Logitech G600. It had a 3rd mouse button for your ring finger, and 12 thumb buttons with amazing macro capabilities. Only the sensor kind of sucked so it was useless for FPS gaming

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'd like it if Joss Whedon could finish a series. Firefly? The Nevers? So much potential to just get thrown away after one season.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 54 minutes ago

Buffy and Angel are still pretty great.

Megaman Legends 3

Our boy is still stranded on the moon!

Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.

They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.

And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.

Still frustrates me.

tic tac gum, it's small and convenient.

I'm not a fast food person, but the McDonald's Arch Deluxe was amazing. I'd love to have one again. Also Pepsi Kona (coffee-flavored Pepsi) was really good.

I miss things having actual buttons instead of touchscreen - most commonly, car dashboards. But even my microwave's interface has a touchscreen feel. It's not an actual screen but the "buttons" don't need to be pressed so much as grazed, or sometimes my finger being near the button is enough to "press" it. So it ends up in a lot of false inputs that I have to clear out and start over. I have to be very deliberate which slows down my ability to use the stupid thing. And I mostly only use it as a kitchen timer, I can't imagine how annoyed I'd be if I used it more frequently!

So yeah, buttons.

Noooooooo, why??? I didn't know they cancelled it. That's horrible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.

Shark gummies. Idk what they were actually called, but they were the most delicious gummies. Some were opaque and milky colored, others weren't. I don't think they were associated with Street Sharks but maybe they were. I crave them.

[–] HoneyMustardGas 2 points 4 hours ago

I don't know what brand but Applebee's had this weird mixed drink with those in them I had a few years ago. They were shark shaped gummies that were part white part clear blueish.

Lol, Street Sharks were awesome I had a collection of their action figures as a kid.

Mind Hunter on Netflix.

Also JC Chasez’s second solo album that got shelved. I’ve been on an *NSYNC kick lately and would have loved more music from him.

[–] CaptainThor 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I upvoted the first half of your comment

[–] thisisdee 3 points 5 hours ago

Hah. That’s fair. I figured that’s what the upvotes are for. The 2 halves are quite different.

[–] Mostly_Gristle 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Probably showing my agenhere, but OK Soda. That stuff was great.

Close runner up was Josta, which was briefly the official drink of GWAR (at least according to GWAR).

[–] HoneyMustardGas 3 points 4 hours ago

I have been to a few GWAR shows, sadly not in the nineties. So, I wouldn't have had that opportunity.

Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!

Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.

Camel Exotic Blend Cigarettes. Good times. cough COUGH ahhhh. Good times.

[–] HurlingDurling 3 points 6 hours ago

The 4400 and Eureka

[–] MurrayL 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Bit of a deep cut, but Schmigadoon! was utterly brilliant and I wish they’d been given another season or three to explore more styles.

[–] thisisdee 2 points 6 hours ago

I loved it too! It was different and fun to watch
