    Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    Xena: Warrior Princess
    Hercules
    The New Adventures of Robin Hood
    Sabrina the Teenage Witch

    They're trash... utter trash. But at the same time, they're _good_ trash. There's an inherent cleverness to the scripts that is covered up by a slick of typical American trashyness... And it makes them so damn compelling it's unreal. They don't make you think, they don't challenge you, but as turn on, tune in and cop out shows, they are unrivalled.

    What do ye think?

    Defintley have to agree but Sabrina the teenage witch is only watchable becoz of the cat Salem or whatever his name is.. But Hercules nah jasus see the FX in it its like something from Flash Gordon

    I always thought Zena and Hercules looked like it was full of Porno actors who had finally found legit work.

    Muso.... you're more accurate in that assumption than you might imagine.

    The woman who plays Xena previously starred in a number of, ahh.... "interesting" productions, usually in a very "dominant" role....

    Can't remember where I cam across that titbit, think it was in Jim McClennan's "Trash City"... the ultimate magazine not to be seen with by the lady across from you on the train, given that the last issue featured a back cover image of a nice sketch of a young woman... er... standing on a toilet bowl wearing a suspender belt and nothing else and... er... urinating rather freely.

    I made the mistake of reading it on the train. Don't be caught out like I was... smile.gif
