Lynn,
esok malam baru nak tayang episode 2 as last Tuesday was the pilot. nak kata Msia really behind that US tak leh jugak la kan.. The way we see it, 8TV is really catching up on showing "hot" series when TV3 is showing many of the cancelled ones..
another cancelled show, yesterday on TV3. (and the list continues..) the show took the Mentor slot, at 9pm. it's about Tarzan, who was brought to the city by his uncle. at first we were led to believe that his uncle wanted to take care of his brother's only heir, but... jeng jeng jeng!!... i'll save the spoiler for later!
anyone caught the show last night?
ps: Desperate Housewives Season 2 was out yesterday!! yeah!

Cikun,
Harith asked me to watch "Tarzan and Jane" last night after i dah kemas bilik. when he told me abt "Tarzan and Jane", i said to him, "..mana ada harith.." but he assured me so we watched together with his other 3 sibblings. hmmmm, i don't know what to comment coz we all tengok kat tv yang kat upper living so reception was very bad..
anyways, sampai season ke berapa cerita Tarzan ni Cikun? and, in one season ada berapa episodes?
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
rose,
unfortunately 10 episodes only.. (shame on tv3!). huh, at least Jake 2.0 has a complete season 1.
the show (Tarzan) came out about the same time as Tru Calling (which almost ended on tv3). in my opinion, it was okay. a guy dressing like a homeless helping out the cops, with acrobatic insanity swings and some rich family conspiracy (Tarzan also has an aunt in the city). but i guess the script writers ran out of ideas.
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Cikun,
how can Tarzan helps the police when the police tak percaya kat dia? not all good guys can be superhero so memang writers will be out of idea kalau yang Tarzan boleh tolong cuma Jane je :) another thing, this Tarzan has no mask to protect himself from people knowing him.. memang orang kenal dia.. tapi, his acrobatic skills tu memang macam real la kan.. senang-senang boleh panjat bangunan 10 tingkat in 10 seconds :P
re Tru Calling, i stopped watching since the time Harrison got the job offer from his father. nowadays memang tak tengok dah coz lost interest.. payah when there are 3 people doing what they thought as "same thing" which in this case, "helping out people the way they should be helped", hehehe
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
rose,
the most interesting part from Tru Calling was when we learned about what Jack can do + Tru knows she has to beat Jack + Tru's Dad is Jack's boss. the show could have turn our head inside out, figuring out what will happen, but now we know it got cancelled. hahaha!
oh, sorry Rose, but that's a little sneek peak from the future episodes. there's a very interesting conflict in Jane's life later on...
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Cikun,
re Tru Calling, so.. did Harrison really get to work for his dad after all? since i dah tak tengok, i think it's ok if you wanna reveal the whole story kat sini, hehehe.
re Tarzan, i guess i'll still watch with the kids since Haria pulak tengok cerita tu.. so, pls don't let us know the spoilers :)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
rose,
re Tru Calling.. Harrison worked for his dad, but later learned that his dad is against Tru, but later he learned nothing coz the latter didn't happen.. coz time rewound. haha! i'm confusing you, am i? they run and run and run, until finally Jack, Tru's dad, Harrison and Tru had a Christmas dinner and then it was over. very disappointing ending!!!
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
You can't deny though that some shows even though they lasted only 1 or 2 series are cult classics. One show that comes to mind is Wonder Woman (currently doing the rounds at SBC 5). Even though the show only lasted (I think) 2 series, it's a cult classic with many.
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Cikun,
saw that on Sunday but didn't get to watch sampai habis coz i was busy with something. but, when i saw that episode has got something to do with Christmas, i told myself not to bother watch it coz that's the last episode you talked about earlier, hehehe. else, i would have watched a very disappointing ending la kan :P
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
next week, Smallville Season 4 is going to take Tru Calling's slot. kudos to TV3 for beating StarWorld this time. (StarWorld haven't aired Smallville season 4 yet, but correct me if i'm wrong)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Cikun,
i think Harith will be glued to the tv once Smalville starts. actually, i just hope that Smallville will start at 9pm instead of 10pm. what time is it again anyways? kalau starts at 9pm, i'll surely watch too :)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
bro Feruz,
IMO that was when tv3 was the only privately owned tv station. but i thought Wonder Woman was shown on RTM? just like Six mill $ man, Bionic Woman, The Manimal, The Man From Atlantis and lots more super sapien series. TV3 was showing more modern sci fi series like Misfits of Science, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Streethawk and Automan. hehe.. i didn't care how many seasons the show went, then.
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
I was a huge fan of "The Manimal" and "The Man from Atlantis" :)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Yeah and i had a crush on Jamie Sommers.
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
even apprentice season 3 - booksmarts vs streetsmarts baru terkonteng2 kat star world. tv3 dah selamat dah... mmg kudos la tuh tv3, world!
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
i get to know already the reason why Smallville will be shown at 10pm.. it's bcoz of Tarzan la :? i think if Tarzan is shown at 10pm, it'll be better for tv3 coz tak de later parents with going to school kids terjerit-jerit suruh anak-anak masuk tidur, hehehe..
CK,
Manimal and Man from Atlantis? sure i love those shows too last time.. masa tu, hensem sangat la those heroes :)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
Yeah, and WHAT THE HECK WERE WE THINKING!!!!! :)
Re:TV3 loves cancelled shows
I think mmg appropriate for Smallville to be shown later at night becos the storylines a bit racy - definitely not suitable for kiddies. I wouldnt want my Farah Aaliyah watching Clark and Lana making out becos they're possessed by some spell or some evil enchantress seducing Clark into bed or even Lana becoming some sexed-up maniac becos of ... well, you get my point.
