In Canada CTV, not Global, got the rights to simulcast this against Fox (wee!). So that means Global will be showing reruns of "Bob and Margaret" and maybe "Family Guy" which will be more watching than a lisping alien.

Lucky!
I'm in Colorado and I used to get Bob and Margaret on Comedy Central at 2:00 AM (I think) on Sunday nights (or should I say Monday mornings?) However, with the recent buzz of TV funhouse, I no longer see B&M at all. I suppose it's not too bad, because I really like TV Funhouse and am rarely home when it's normally on.

This week Bob had a patient die on his dentist chair and the media dubbed him "Dr. Death" not unlike the other Dr. Death who murdered up to 300 patients in England.

That's a pretty good one.
I must say, the thing that shocks me most about that show is the cartoon nudity. Being British and all I know that full frontal cartoon nudity is tolerated, but that doesn't fly in the states so well. For some reason the censors don't care if it's on at 2:00 AM on cable.
And for those of you reading this message that haven't seen the show or anything, don't get too excited. It's only happened in like two episodes. :)

Worst Sequel Ever.

Wouldn't have been so bad without Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd's annoying "yippeeeee!!!"
Surely you can't complain about Ewin McGregor. If anything, he was damn good.

Why doesn't Geore Lucas give Star War fans (not me withstanding) what they want and release the Star Wars series on DVD.

And just how does Mr. Lucas profit from NOT releasing his films on DVD?

He wants to wait with the release until all 6 movies are out. In the meantime he can sell the other episodes on video again and again.

I thought he was just concerned about people being able to duplicate his work.

If he waits until all 6 are complete, hardcore fans would be so restless in the meantime that they'd buy the VHS. Now Lucifer... I mean Lucas has gotten his sheep to buy a few low-qual crappy VHS's since they couldn't be patient.
Greedy!

Is Lucifer going to allow the network bugs to be on the tv sceen when the movie airs? Steven Speilbargo expressly had that forbidden for the airing of Jurassic Park.

Worse than "Billy Jack Goes to Washington"? It was so bad that the movie company refused to release it. It played in limit areas and then a few time on very late night TV. Even hardcore Billy Jack fans couldn't stand it.
Or how about "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes II" or the second Blair Witch movie?
There was a sequel planned for "The Terror of Tiny Town", the first (and last) all midget western. Thankfully, it was never made.
If you mean, the worst sequel to a good movie, or the biggest step down from original to sequel, then I Agree. It was a bigger step down than Rocky to Rocky IV, and than was a big step down.

The first BJ movie was pretty bad too.
Rick Rockwell the hapless loser in "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire" starred in many Killer Tomato sequels and co-wrote one of them also.
