Who Wants to Be a Superhero?

**RUSHVision** · 08-04-2006, 12:37 AM

Have you guys been watching this show on the SciFi channel?

Stan just got done launching attack dogs at all the would-be superheros. Man, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

ok... so it's just not me watching and laughing at this.

Caught it by mistake on Tuesday night, missed part of tonight... and man. I can't stop laughing at this... I'm just waiting on it to turn into a "ok, we staged this whole thing..."

Oh, the stupid factor is high, but that's what makes this spectacle so hilarious. It's campy, sometimes cruel, and utterly ridiculous in every regard. They've taken a bunch of delusional people and will be asking them during the course of this grand event to live up to a standard that is very nearly unachievable.

Attacking them with the dogs was brilliant. Not only did it make for funny times watching them crumble under their onslaught, but it also showed a glimpse of true human character. Sure, to us it's a joke in shiny tights waiting to happen, but some of these people seem to be really trying to live up to Stan's ideal of what a superhero should be...and that's just plain good TV.

Guilty pleasure.

Love what they did at the end of the episode though with the person kicked off - should be interesting twist in the upcoming shows.

Will they come back as arch nemisesesesess?

Reality tv is soooooooooo predictable!

I guess it is - still a better idea than those terrible, "you just got booted off, how do you feel?" interviews they usually run during the credits; and let's be honest, some people just seem to be born to play a villian...

Here's some YouTube vids: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NOql62hq3vs

They aired it twice last night (Thursday), the first time at 9pm Pacific (gmt -8) and then later on in the evening/morning on the SciFi channel. It's also coming on again today at 4pm Pacific.

And yeah, I don't know if they planned it all along or not, but what they did with Iron Enforcer was classic. That youtube vid was funny. I think Iron Enforcer got rhino dna confused with steriods, though. Either way, neither one seemed to do him much good in the dog challenge.

If I do that on mine, it just asks which I want to record

If you're not around, it records them in the order you set (I think).

Chase recording is the best though.

Mines digital freeview though, not tivo

"this is the culmination of everything I've done in my life up to this point..."

You're kidding? Getting on some tv show no one will remember in a year is the culmination of your life?

Wow...

**Sybersnake** · 08-06-2006, 12:07 AM

yea, it does it in order if it can't record it, someone just told me to watch 20/20 that night and i was like ok, i'll record it until i found out that there were already 2 programs queued up for that time slot.

i can't wait for the Series 3 tivos which will be in HD
