You know, I caught some of deadly Games on tape last night. Does anyone remember that show? it ran on UPN for about a year. Now, the show was about a guy whose video game creations got into the real world. The villians (based on pretty much everyone who ever made this guy mad) always ended up killing at least one person per show, and the hero didn't seemed to bothered by this. And, none of the villians could be killed in a normal way, NO, he had to make them so that they can only be killed in some pretty srange ways (such as hitting his divorce lawyer with a copy of the vinal record that was playing when he first met his wife, or dropping a house on his mother in law.)
Also, on a different topic, was there ever a parody of M. Jackon's 'Thriller' video called Driller?

              Yeah,"Driller" was a 1984 porno parody of Michael Jackson,back in his overly popular "Thriller" period.
             I also remember the 1981 slasher film "Deadly Games",which starred Steve Railsback,and was distributed by Monterey Video,which evolved into Artisan Entertainment(after its other previous incarnations as Thriller Video,U.S.A. Home Video,Family Home Entertainment,IVE Entertainment,and Live Entertainment,as well as their[short lived] budget video label Avid Entertainment).

 Yup, I used to watch it. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was bad but mildly entertaining, but it makes you wonder what the network execs were smoking to actually think a show like that would be anything but a flop. I don't see why I couldn't work for a major network, I mean I can pick out crap as well as anyone else. "A show about a half man, half zebra who solves crimes while travelling to other planets to paint houses? Sure, let's order two seasons of it!"
