Things you want to know for some reason.

Post by Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi »

What are some things you want to know for some odd reason?

I've always wanted to know what the shortest-lived TV show was. I know that NBC's version of Coupling was canceled after three episodes, but is there anything that was canceled earlier?

If anyone has an answer to a previous question or a question of their own, feel free to do so.

There's al;l sorts of shows that never made it past the pilot.

Coupling was cancelled? Thats' the greatest show ever! (well, OK, not ever, but it's pretty damned cool).
Or was it a wierd American rape of a good British show, like you did with The Upper Hand, Red Dwarf and apparently, Father Ted?

The original Coupling rocked, I had to fiddle about with my antenna every week to watch it.

I've always wanted to know how GL originally viewed SW.

There are plenty of pilots that have never been aired. The life action "Justice League" pilot, for example.

If i remember correctly,he was a Navy SEAL in it,and in his trial they used a clip from the pilot to show how he did the crime.

And Muse stop tweaking it,you will not get any radio station that way :wink:

What the hell is Gandalf's avatar supposed to be?

What, if anything, do the lyrics for "Stairway to Heaven" mean?

Why did Monty Python's Flying Circus decide to let the American Animator have a part every now and then?

Undoubtedly it is the third nipple which is most sensitive.

I've always wanted to see what would happen if say a platoon of M-1 tanks or LAV's of various makes caught a ship close to shore. Oh, say anything from a Corvette to Destroyer size.

No kidding! There's a lot of stuff that I wonder who tried first, like beer.
"Hey, all that old grain is wet and rotten. I'd better drink some of that foul-smelling urine-colored liquid at the bottom".

Or other things, like hot peppers, who tried them second?

I think it was called Frogmen. Supposedly OJ kills someone with a knife in the same way that his ex-wife was killed in real life.
