Umm horror need be R-rated... by Judge Briggs	Mar 5th, 2008 04:54:06 PM
bring it back to Showtime
Not much hope considering..... by Denton56	Mar 5th, 2008 05:08:19 PM
....Masters of Horror sucked and that was without NBC censhorship. I give it a few episodes
I would love for anthology shows to make a comeback... by Flim Springfield	Mar 5th, 2008 05:16:03 PM
Screw taking years to tell a single story.
Horror doesn't necessarily need to be 'R' rated by Reel American Hero	Mar 5th, 2008 05:19:13 PM
It is perfectly possible to create a mood of suspense and horror without gore and nudity. The best horror in my opinion is stuff that a lot of times doesn't feature either. I love both bits of excess in my horror flicks, but the ones that feature those I usually appreciate more for the entertainment value, not for the benefit of being scary. The best horror features things that could be possible, and creeps you out just by the mood and story alone, not so much for softcore porn antics followed by a butcher knife through the chest or a beheading.
ZZZZZ by skywalkerfamily	Mar 5th, 2008 05:29:18 PM
This will bomb a fiery death.
the baby borrowers? by ciroslive	Mar 5th, 2008 05:36:19 PM
We need a show to demonstrate how bad 18 years old are as parents? Congrats, NBC! Another hit on your hands!
Will it be on Saturdays at 9? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 5th, 2008 05:39:12 PM
Prime viewing hour?
Please bring back Journeyman by snowpuff	Mar 5th, 2008 05:54:09 PM
Please bring back Journeyman. Please?

Just redo this execs; you know you want to... ˚
VH1 did have Battle of the Reality Stars by skywalkerfamily	Mar 5th, 2008 05:56:42 PM
On a few years ago.
Celebrity Circus? Really? by Jor-El23	Mar 5th, 2008 06:23:09 PM
I liked it better the first time I saw it in 1992...on a Simpsons episode (Mr. Plow)...when it was called Carnival of the Stars, live from Molokai. Jesus.
I love myself some TV-14 horror. by Kid Idioteque	Mar 5th, 2008 06:51:41 PM
MMMMMMmmmmmmm, tasty.
"NBC's All-American Summer" by Geekgasm	Mar 5th, 2008 06:55:19 PM
Sounds super-gay. And I should know.
Doesn't NBC do this every summer? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 5th, 2008 07:03:46 PM
Put up some shit Idol type shows no one watches?
Thank God for this announcement! by DirkAngerReloaded23	Mar 5th, 2008 07:16:53 PM
Now I can officially check off NBC and all their reality (ahem bullshit) programming for the summer and get some friggin exercise outside instead. Thanks NBC! For sucking!
I'm with snowpuff by gotilk	Mar 5th, 2008 07:59:51 PM
BUT I still can't wait for this. Bring back Journeyman too!
It's been a while since there's been a decent anthology... by rbatty024	Mar 5th, 2008 08:01:09 PM
show on TV. I look forward to this. At least it's something different.
Anthologies fail on network TV by BrowncoatJedi	Mar 5th, 2008 09:24:47 PM
Nobody cares. This needs to be back on Showtime, and I'm sure after an episode or two, it will.
First NBC anthology series since Amazing Stories? by Osmosis Jones	Mar 5th, 2008 10:50:19 PM
I still have fond memories of that show.
Go to TNT for Law and Order by skywalkerfamily	Mar 5th, 2008 10:51:42 PM
That is on there 24 hours a day.
nbc showing old shows online by bacci40	Mar 5th, 2008 11:13:26 PM
with commercials....lots of commercials....is this covered under the new wga contract?
anthologys fail because by bacci40	Mar 5th, 2008 11:15:20 PM
no one can write a good short story anymore....last good anthology series was tales from the crypt...and most of those stories originated from ec comics....ya....comics are sure shitty lit
Still by Series7	Mar 5th, 2008 11:41:43 PM
Thank Allah that NBC is doing this rather then the Heroes spin off, when will that show get canceled. Pain in the ass.
Shot in Canada, is it still the "All-American Summer"? by Ayii	Mar 6th, 2008 01:17:35 AM
You would think if they're going to go with a clichéd hackneyed marketing theme like "All-American Summer" that the shows would be "All-American". Fear Itself is shot in Canada. Nothing wrong with that, I just have a problem with shitty, ironic, marketing themes.
So one good series and a whole bunch of crap by Yeti	Mar 6th, 2008 05:37:51 AM
I will watch "Celeb Circus" if they feed Paris Hilton to the Tigers or Lions though, promise.
RIP Master of Horror. by Engelhast	Mar 6th, 2008 07:38:57 AM
2 Seasons were not enough. I hope your watered down little brother turns out to be just as fun.
Now NBC's "All-Wet-Hot-American-Summer" by skimn	Mar 6th, 2008 09:48:39 AM
THAT I would watch.
Why is anyone suprised by by skimn	Mar 6th, 2008 10:27:05 AM
crappy network reality programming in the summer? Remember the impersonator show on ABC last year? Yikes. Just give me new Rescue Me, Mad Men, Damages, Burn Notice, etc. Thank God for AMC, TNT, FX ...
R-rated? Alfred Hitchcock would disagree... by Ninja Nerd	Mar 6th, 2008 02:41:17 PM
You know, many people would insist that they were horrified at seeing a naked Janet Leigh get slashed in Psycho. Except for the fact that you never see a single wound inflicted. Or Janet Leigh nude. The jerky music, the lighting, the face of the "mother" in shadow, etc. were brilliantly able to make you think you saw more than you did. Genius stuff...still is. Horror doesn't need to be gory and explicit to be effective...just well-written and acted!
True but suspense WITH gore by quantize	Mar 6th, 2008 08:44:40 PM
ie Alien...rocks!
Alien has very little gore by Osmosis Jones	Mar 6th, 2008 11:35:57 PM
Take away the "chestburster" scene, and it's actually pretty tame.
I'm quite bummed the true MOH isnt coming back by The Amazing G	Mar 7th, 2008 09:25:25 PM
the thing about Masters Of Horror was even when the episodes were bad they were at least interesting (with a few exceptions) and part of the fun was all the tits and gore, you take that away and you lose some of the fun, still I guess it beats MOH dying completely though
