As we all know, on May 10th 2005, the assassin Vladimir Arutyunian threw a hand grenade at George W. Bush, killing him as well as Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili, as well as killing and wounding several innocent bystanders. So what if the hand grenade had been a dud, and never went off?

OOC: This is the wrong board, I suggest it be moved to Before 1900 where it belongs.

I really want to make more posts about Supertrain, but I'm hitting a brick wall in the idea department. Anyone else wish to contribute? Basically I'm trying to make it into popular classic Sci-Fi franchise to rival Star Trek.

No need to be so nasty!:mad:

I was thinking more 1980s, when the original show was on, and when openly homosexual characters where still considered rather taboo...

(insert date here): (insert name here), A controversial episode of Supertrain depicting two openly lesbian characters becomes infamous when several affiliates refuse to air it, and several others pull it from the air mid broadcast following the kissing scene.

One minor nit-pick about the dates. Could we maybe push that back to 1993 instead? That way the second series is on for more than just one year.

Go on...........

Well I can certainly tell you how things would be different without 9/11. Less anti-muslim bigotry, less security at the airport, no war in Afghanistan or Iraq, meaning the US might just hold onto it's Clinton era mega-surplus rather than being bankrupt by the price of two wars. The taliban and...

Yes, they are for the 2020s.

Supertrain, An infamously bad show from OTL that had a lot of wasted potential, is in TTL an all time classic. February 7th 1979: Supertrain makes it's hit Television debut on NBC. (insert date here): Supertrain becomes the highest rated show on American television. February 7th 1980...

It occurs to me that Supertrain could've been a much better show, if: 1. They kept the actual size of the train consistent, rather than making it somehow bigger on the inside. 2. Either make the train not be nuclear powered, or avoid the three mile island disaster. 3. Better characters. 4. Try...

To be clear, this thread isn't about "so bad it's good" shows like Batman, it's about "so bad it makes you want to tear your eyes out" shows like My Mother The Car.

Your challenge is take any notoriously bad TV show, and in a plausible way, make it be considered a classic.

No. I meant an 1880s edition.

Great. Did a lot to clear up the political situation. Can we expect a "Where are they now" and a world map before the beginning of Act II?
