So I just realized Star Trek is a sitcom.
« on: January 21, 2008, 02:03:42 am »
I mean seriously can anyone get through an episode of the Original Star Trek without
just busting up?
The situations that crazy crew of the Enterprise get into.
They have a Scottish engineer that is always trying to "Get More Power".
That old crotchety american doctor always arguing with that guy with the crazy ears and reminding everyone he\'s just a doctor.
The asian gay guy in the closet that solves all the ship problems.
They even have a hot black chick that basically does nothing but tell the Captain what\'s up.
Oh and then there is The Captain.
This guy is a hoot always exaggerating his dialog and hooking up with chicks left and right.

To think a show so racially diverse was created so long ago and can still bring the funny. Wow.
Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.

Have you seen Galaxy Quest?  That movie did a great job pointing out just how funny that show was.

Galaxy quest was the dumbest looking movie I ever heard of, until I started watching it and realized it was a spinal tap-esq joke on how bad that show was. A great nothing to do on a saturday afternoon flick.

Ensign: "Don\'t open that door! We don\'t even know if there is any oxygen on this planet! Are you trying to kill us all?" (holds breath)
Monk: [sniff] "smells ok"

Is that the one with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver? I think I\'ve seen some of it on TBS. It\'s actually good huh? I had heard that but just never followed up on it. I will now.

That line was spoken by Guy "What\'s my last name?!" (aka Sam Rockwell).  He might be the funniest character in that movie.  Although, Monk is pretty funny too:

S. Weaver:  Those could be the miner\'s.
Monk:  Sure they\'re minor\'s, they\'re like 3 years old.
Hans Gruber:  Miner\'s not minor\'s you idiot!!

I have always been more of a Next Generation fan.
