SMEG! I missed out on seeing the whole thing, and the chance to laugh...bitterly...at the "Amurrican" version of RD.
Some shows don't translate well across the pond, and this is one of them.
Well, not for US here, but , you know...

I wish i could see all of Jake's Journey. Chapman seemed funny in just the few seconds of it they showed. Not that i could expect him not to be.

Oh, yeah. The cheese was good that night!

"Aggressivlly eccentric, and proud of it!"

That bring back memories I remember The World Of Disney on Sunday night in the last 80's had I-Man with Scott Bakula and the Beautiful Ellen Bry. I thought that gonna be a great show but stupid ABC didn't like it. Fuzzbucket I think was on it too with Tommy from Third Rock From The Sun, Wishman I think was also on it too or a tv-movie. The other Scott Bakula show was a summer tv movie/pilot thing on CBS I think that was the beautiful Debrah Farentino as creator of that robot.

I wish I saw that show, but I do remember Generation X.  Being the comic geek that I am, I remember the original characters, which the show's creators had right:

Emma Frost (White Queen)
Sean Cassidy (Banshee)
Mondo
Monet
Jubilee
Skin

And two unknowns who has never graced a page of any mutant based comic anytime, anywhere.  Some fifth rate Cyclops and a small girl, named "Buff",who, if given a chance, makes her body look like that of a bodybuilder.  I'd like to take a shotgun to that idiot.

The one thing, though, that is going to kill me in the head, is the fact that Generation X only did that one show and was done for, yet the equally, if worst, Mutant X is in the middle of another season.  Now, I would like to take a shotgun to the idiot who thought of that one.

That person who made up that mutant Buff must have been on a heavy dose of drugs.

Now they should make a special called, "The Worst Shows That Were," about all the TV shows that WERE on TV . . . but shouldn't have been.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

They should put these pilots out on video.

I seem to recall show called something like Pilot Playhouse where they would show failed pilots. I remember one about a couple of alien cops who are microscopic by Earth standards and they attach themselves or even fly inside a human cop and help him solve crimes.

That the CBS show that had the Scott Bakula turn into that cyborg pilot on. That was a good show that should'nt been taken off.
