STAR TREK HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!!!

[Kagan]

Communicator-like telephones?
In home computers?

Next, you'll be telling me that Nixon and Agnew are going to resign from office?

 

[T'Bonz]

Yeah, yeah, forget the hand-held computer stuff. Why can't they invent some gizmo that will cook dinner in under ten minutes?

Even a TV dinner takes 45 minutes to heat up in the oven. *sigh*

Vice President Agnew looks like he's going to be a solid class-act.

 

[Redfern]

Dang! Even "AstroBoy" is just repeated episodes here on Channel 2. Someone told me it was originally Japanese. Really? Think we'll get any more cartoons from Japan? Nah, probably not.

You haven't seen Gigantor?

Gigantor, the space age robot
He is at your command...

 

[cooleddie74]

Anyone buy one of those newfangled 8-track tapes? Solid. Groovy technology. These'll be around for decades! The future is NOW!

Nope, not that one, but Channel 2 used to play "Kimba", "Prince Planet", "Marine Boy" and "8th Man", but they were all dropped. I hear some parents think they're too violent, at least for cartoons, so we may not see anything like that again. Did you know Marine Boy's mermaid girlfriend swam around topless?!

Sincerely,

Bill

Black and white, poorly dubbed Japanimation is the wave of the future.

 

[Ronald Held]

You have to be kidding!

"Japanimation"?! What a silly word! One might as well make up some "broken" english term like, I don't know, maybe "anima" or "anime", something dumb like that!

Sincerely,

Bill

I heard that there might be a 'small' gathering of Star Trek fans in New York sometime soon.

Think anyone from the show will actually show up for that ?

 

[Ronald Held]

Why would anyone expect that to be a large gathering, or even big enough for a convention?

 

[Jack Bauer]

I don't see these gatherings becoming a big deal. I mean Star Trek is cancelled...we'll all forget about it in a year.

 

[Outpost4]

Come on. Leave it. It's time to move on. Star Trek didn't get renewed and it's over. Just forget it. It's yesterday's news. Star Trek is dead.

I will never accept this. Until Star Trek is renewed, I plan to live in my parents' basement.

 

[Kegek]

Relax. It's just a TV series.

Okay, true, Star Trek got cancelled. But have you heard of this cool guy called Javier Bardem? True, he's only just been born, but I'm sure he's destined for greatness.

Good one.

Breaking news...I'm getting a baby brother this Fall.

 

[Kagan]

Re: STAR TROUT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!!!

Well, I'm only four, but my parents made me sit on the couch last night with my newborn cousin. She smelled like baby poop.

That was enough of being in the real world without Star Trek. I'm going back to the basement.

I just talked to my buddy the firefighter in Brooklyn, and he says he's talking to his grown son from 30 years in the future over his ham radio!
