some stuff and some other stuff.

Slow week on the site, I know. Don't worry, bidness will be a'pickin' up next week -- three new articles between this weekend and the next, and absolutely none of them having to do with Italian thumb wrestling or Crayola crayons. Next article's looking pretty saha-wank so far.

Oh, an early request: I'm gearing up for the coming X-E Halloween season. Had shitloads of fun doing last year's Halloween Countdown and I can't wait to get on the ball with that again this year -- especially because the length of the daily entries won't preclude me from actually letting them be "daily." Loads of fun stuff planned, stay tuned. My request: if anyone out there has any Halloween materials they think I might be able to use on the site, please e-mail me. (feel free to use this link to do so) I don't have very many specifics on what I'm looking for, but here's a few: Halloween television specials, Halloween commercials (these can be in file format or on VHS), Halloween-inspired print ads, so on and so on. If it looks like something that would be on X-E during the Halloween season and you're willing to part with it, lemme know. Oh, please don't post what you've got in the comments section -- kinda ruins the surprise for everyone else if I use it. :crazy:

To close things out, another survey topic: name your five favorite television shows ever, in any order. Did we already do this one? Oh well.

My five all time favorite shows?
5. Hogan’s Heroes
4. Futurama (The Simpsons is rated higher because I’ve been a fan longer and there are more episodes, but Futurama’s percentage of great or perfect episodes is way higher)
3. The Simpsons
2. Mystery Science Theater 3000
1. Star Trek

Yeah, so I’m a geek. At least I have the courage to admit it.

3 of these shows are recent shows. Either I didn’t watch TV as much when I was younger, or TV’s just better now. My 5 Faves in no particular order:

The Incredible Hulk (I said no order, but this one is really my favorite ever)

Perfect Strangers (Balki Bartokomous = greatest character ever)

24

The Shield

The Sopranos

Honorable mention: Family Ties, He-Man, Who’s the Boss, Family Guy, Transformers, The FBI Files

Sorry, It was Whiz Kids, and they didn’t have Superpowers, they were computer geeks. I can’t believe a memory from age 7 burbled up through the bong resin.

Voyagers!
Friday the 13th: The Series

Oh yeah, Matt you should dress up as Madd Corey Haim this year, black out some teeth and make a little bald spot on the side of your head. That would rock my socks.

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 08/25/2004 7:54 PM

(Arsenio Hall) Woot, woot! Go Corey! Yeah, Corey! You’re the Haimster! It’s your birhday! And you’re crazy! (/Arsenio Hall)

Top five:

5. 4. DangerMouse

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/25/2004 8:21 PM

Hey, where’d number 5 go? Oh, well. It was The Outsiders, The Series (David Arquette before he became the CALL-ATT dork).

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/25/2004 8:22 PM

Damn. At Wal-Mart just an hour ago, there was this great life-size dancing skeleton in a suit, and I was going to take its picture, but there were two truckers pretending to talk to it and I was afraid they’d kill me. I would’ve sent Matt the picture…

Well, I do remember the price. It was $59.97. I told my sister, "That is clearly the most worthy use of sixty dollars in the whole store."

my favourite tv shows, in no particular order:

the simpsons
care bears
the brendan leonard show
sesame street
late night with conan obrien

matt, can you do a survey asking people’s favourite nostalgic tv shows?

Chestnuts roasted by Rachel Cakes @ 08/25/2004 10:02 PM

My five favorite TV shows change every few months, but at this moment they are (live action – if it were animation, we could be here all night)…

Remember WENN
The Monkees
Night Court
Perfect Strangers
The Mary Tyler Moore Show

I’m definately looking forward to an X-Entertainment holiday season, from the first inklings of Halloween (has anyone else already seen Halloween ready-bake cookies on the shelves?) to the last tooting of the horn midnight on New Year’s. Halloween and fall usually waits another week or two down here in south Jersey, mostly because we need to get over the big Labor Day holiday (and the tourists) before we can move onto the next one.

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 08/25/2004 10:12 PM

Mystery Science Theater 3000
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

+ good times (this show show just clicked with me)

+ fat albert (hey hey hey)

+ fresh prince (seasons 1-3…..the first half of season 4 had some good ones too. basically it died when they announce "we’re having a baby" as does any show)

Chestnuts roasted by Scott P @ 08/25/2004 10:57 PM

Favorite five? Hmmm… In no particular order:

1) Firefly
2) Buffy
3) Doctor Who
4) Highlander
5) Well, those previous four are the shows I’ve watched religiously– the fifth, then, I suppose would have to be a toss up between Whose Line (both versions, they’re equally addictive), Carnivale, old school Ninja Turtles, Red Dwarf, MST3K, The Prisoner, and The Avengers.

Chestnuts roasted by Pirate7L @ 08/25/2004 11:11 PM

So many choices…..

MST3K
The State (sketch comedy)
Sifl and Olly
Upright Citizens Brigade (sketch comedy)
all stuff on adult swim that isn’t anime ( well, except that Baby Blues show it really really sucks)
Clone High
Saved by the Bell (guilty pleasure)
South Park
Early Eps of Beavis and Butt-Head
The Head
The Maxx
Video Power (the tips/cartoon version not the game show version. YOu had to love how campy the show was using characters from differnt Acclaim titles, like a poor man’s captain N. Where else could you see Tyrone from Arch Rivals and Mr. Big from NARC in the same place??)
The original Disney afternoon

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 08/25/2004 11:14 PM

5, with me it has to be either more or less, so I’ll go with more! I loved Pokemon (though haven’t watched it in ages) Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Serial Experiments Lain… hmmm, and as far as non anime those would be Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, Garfield and Friends, Married with Children, Monty Pythons Flying Circus and Unwrapped. There are probably more, but most of those are the ones I try to catch whenever they are on TV.

Chestnuts roasted by sailor moon @ 08/25/2004 11:32 PM

Conan O’Brien (I laugh like a retard whenever Frankenstein wastes a minute of my time) and TV Funhouse too.
