Title: From The Creators of JAG...
Post by: The Bard on January 13, 2002, 10:38:05 PM
Anyone seen the POS the people who did JAG are unleashing upon us now? First Monday seems to be more of a propoganda machine to get people belive that the Supreme Court does have the power to overturn an election. Oh yea, they can also breed 2 male pandas successfully.

My favorite quote so far is "This is the supreme court, you can't object"

Do the guys writing the scripts even bother to look up words? Why couldn't you object to the supreme court? Ugh. JAG Sucks and so will this.

Although don't get me started on That 80's Show

On the bright side I got a TV Guide from my neighbors garbage and some FOX Executive was saying that "...Bad ratings but spectacular critic Reception, combined with 9/11, have given Undeclared, Tick and 24 at very least a second season."

You mean the people who did "JAG" are still on the job? I though they would have been fired straigh away! "JAG" is probably one of the TV shows that I hate the most. Not only many things appear ripped off from "The X-files" (two investigators, man and woman, the man with a relative missing from childhood and a resulting trauma, with a bald superior who would do anything to protect them, etc.), but everything is openly incredible and they try to hide their mistakes by adding tons of cheap patriotism.

I know some people may find this last remark offensive, but keep this in mind before answering: Would not feel annoyed by a show that tries to make you feel patriotism for a country that is not yours? This is my case, since I am not American.

Oh, and can anybody tell me why everybody in the show who is a civilian is either a jerk or the villain? Looks like for the makers of the show, anybody who has chosen to do something in life than to join the army does not deserve to be alive.

Never watched JAG, can't stand what little i've seen. Hell, i don't watch ANYTHING on the prime time networks. Too old and tired at days end for that crap. Have to prioritize. I understand your comment on the patriotisim angle, but as its made primarily for the U.S. market......when i see such things in, say, anime, i take it with a grain of salt, and understand where they are comming from. No big deal for me. I've heard complaints about the show from ex-military, and they don't like the missunserstandings  of service life the writers show. Andrew, what do you and you fellow Marines thing of this turkey?

I cannot stand that show.  In fact, in the Stealth Fighter review I took a snipe at JAG.  Any other military types I've asked about it have much the same opinion.

Want to know the irony?  My mom loves JAG, probably because she thinks one of the male actors is cute.

There's eight thousand TV shows on the six networks, not to mention cable and whatnot.  I think there's room for JAG if somebody wants to watch it.  (And apparently quite a few do.)

I think we can also afford one forthrightly patriotic show on the tube.

"Major Glory" is patriotic enough, thank you
