Not exactly SciFi, but ...

I watched Mockingbird Lane, supposed to be a reboot of the old TV commedy, The Munsters.

It was horrible. It was like a script in search of something. It tried to be comedic, but it wasn’t funny. It tried to be weird, but the special effects just turned out to be gross. It tried to be serious drama, but it was too silly to be taken seriously.

What’s this crap! Tonight there will be three really good OLD si-fi movies on TCM!

20 Million Miles To Earth

Earth vs the Flying Saucers!

THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON!

Made when si-fi was good!

[LibertarianLiz]

It was horrible.

Completely agree. I usually like more comedy in my comedies. It was boring, predictable, dull and NOT funny.

If anyone hasn’t seen Continuum yet (Canadian series)
It’s streaming here. First season 1-10 (pretty decent show)

I have given up on Revolution. Completely boring and predictable.

[TomGuy]

The problem with Continuum:

Sorry!
This video is not available in your country. [USA]

[TomGuy]

I never watched Revolution, because I thought its premise was too silly.

I did try to watch Beauty & the Beast, but just can’t seem to get involved in it.

Similar with 666 Park Avenue. I have watched all the current episodes, but it just doesn’t hold my interest.

[Tanniker Smith]

I might've watched it until I realized it was a failed pilot -- so bad thy couldn't air it originally. And the Munsters isn't something that needs to be updated. It was the definition of situation comedy, and they don't do that stuff anymore.

Besides, the remade the Munsters about 20 years ago. It didnt take.

[Leep]

I just stumbled onto The Booth at the End. People do evil deeds, that “the man” picks at random from a book,, in exchange for a wish.
The whole show 10 eps takes place in a booth in a dinner.

[Tanniker Smith]

I watched two eps of 666 and there are more on the DVR. Not compelling. I think I picked the wrong show to get on board at the start.

I watched the original Beuty and the Beast. I didn't like the premise of this one where he was like a werewolf or the Hulk or something.

Next to the Walking Dead, my fave is “Last Resort”. It’s not science fiction but excellet drama and the plot line is great........
