Good...does this he'll stop writing for The Simpsons? by Jobacca	Sep 10th, 2008 10:16:09 PM
Seriously....everyone has a different opinion on when The Simpsons started to suck. For me personally it was the first time I noticed Dana Goulds name in the credits. His style of "comedy" is on par with Gallagher or Sinbad....only less edgy.
Oh, him. by Dollar Bird	Sep 10th, 2008 10:20:44 PM
For a second, Dana Gould registered as Judy Gold and my mind went a little janky.

The big WTF moment for today...
Dear French particle accelerator scientists... by Pennsy	Sep 10th, 2008 10:34:54 PM
Please recreate the big bang so the black hole that results will swallow ANY chance of this movie being released. ;)

Jesus, not a bunch of Krofft movies by Crimson Dynamo	Sep 11th, 2008 12:09:02 AM
Those old Krofft shows were absolute shit. If you're not old enough to remember, you're not missing anything.
people who shit on Gould forget one important thing by Holodigm	Sep 11th, 2008 12:13:52 AM
he voiced Gex, bitches!
WOW they must be like 50,000 miles down the well now by Orionsangels	Sep 11th, 2008 12:15:11 AM
Jesus Christ has it come to this? What's next a live action Groovey Ghoulies movie starring Chris Tucker?
Thanks Herc... by KCViking	Sep 11th, 2008 12:19:29 AM
for putting that Sigmund clip in there you bastard! Now I can't get that freaking song out of my head! I can't believe that someone,somewhere, thought this would be a good idea for a feature film.
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl by Horace Cox	Sep 11th, 2008 12:27:32 AM
I remember those cunts. Too bad that show was on many years before I discovered masturbation.

If you don't find this clip funny, then you really don't like dana gould. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-Nq2ehF76Dg
What? No Lost Saucer or Magic Mongo? by Evil Lincoln	Sep 11th, 2008 01:35:50 AM
Hollywood has fuck'n lost their fuck'n minds!!!!!!! I think I'm going to go back to reading those flat thingies with pages called BOOKS.
I can't wait until.... by lurk3001	Sep 11th, 2008 01:50:00 AM
...they adapt "Far Out Space Nuts".

Starring Miley Cyrus & The Jonas Brothers.
He was part of The Simpsons descent into suck. by rev_skarekroe	Sep 11th, 2008 08:27:06 AM
But his old Don Knotts making an obscene phone call stand-up bit is brilliant.
Lidsville, anyone? by EriamJH	Sep 11th, 2008 08:59:40 AM
Freaked me out as a kid. Scary people, those Krofts.
This makes me want to punch a baby. by fireclown	Sep 11th, 2008 09:26:42 AM

Actually, he's perfect for this. by ZeroCorpse	Sep 11th, 2008 10:10:09 AM
I question the wisdom of making this into a movie, but I applaud the quirky choice of writer. Now, who to direct?
Lidsville by Evil Lincoln	Sep 11th, 2008 10:52:20 AM
That show use to creep me the hell out as well! The best thing about the show was Charles Nelson Reilly.
Krofft shows introduced me to the possibility of... by conspiracy	Sep 11th, 2008 11:44:37 AM
non-narcotic induced hallucinations. These shows were like an LSD trip for a kid..and not a good trip either. Even as a child I knew that whomever made these shows had serious substance abuse issues, or were seriously just fucked up. Still, one of my fondest childhood memories was my own sexual awakening, as I discovered the joys of self manipulation whilst staring intently at Diedra Hall in her ELectra WOman outfit...so the Kroffts were not ALL bad.
Isn't the point of remakes to ... by LeftFoot	Sep 11th, 2008 11:52:58 AM
Isn't the point of remakes to pick something good to remake? A lot of the Krofft stuff lasted one season, maybe two. There's a reason for that, they largely sucked. And it looked so goddamn cheap. It's somewhat appealing weirdness was the best thing about it. Although having H.R.Pufnstuff show up on 'My Name is Earl' to help Randy with his superhero duties was pretty damn funny.
They may get to Sigmund.. by zacdilone	Sep 11th, 2008 12:12:32 PM
..but there isn't enough Krofft love to sustain any films past that. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl were HOT, though.
I thought these shows just existed by TimBenzedrine	Sep 11th, 2008 12:27:03 PM
to keep Billy Barty employed.
Wonderbug !!! by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 11th, 2008 12:28:55 PM
special guest appearance by Kaptain Kool and the Kongs. My fourth grader teacher got mad at me becaue I spelled cool incorrectly. I gues TV does rot your brain. Hey Kool-Aid.
Dr Shrinker by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Sep 11th, 2008 12:30:30 PM
Bigfoot and Wildboy.... Any Kroft remake, including Land of the Lost will suck. To go from costumes and puppets to CGI will just rip the soul from all these properties.
Can they get pop singer Fergie for the title role? by Bob Cryptonight	Sep 11th, 2008 12:34:45 PM

"Electra Woman & Dyna Girl" MUST be rated "R"!!!! by Bob Cryptonight	Sep 11th, 2008 12:36:46 PM
You know what I'm talkin' about...
Hey..Fergie does have a Sigmund vibe about her.. by conspiracy	Sep 11th, 2008 12:37:25 PM
that scrunched up face and mop of seaweed..er..uh..I mean hair. And I do believe there was a overly loud and obnoxious female sea monster named Big MaMa in the original series...so yeah..Fergie would fit in nicely here.
Man, those KROFT Sat. TV shows were CRAP. by uberman	Sep 11th, 2008 12:38:47 PM
I remember, and man oh man, even at the age of 11 I thought they were absolute shit. All of em, without exception, were repulsive anti-humor. Were they like a drug trip, even a bad one, like some of the posters have stated? No. A drug trip at least has some level of the unknown. These Kroft shows were just....painful. They were the absolute bottom of bad 70's TV, and God Lord, there was some really really really really BAD 70's TV, from the Game Shows to Prime Time. Lets just say it wasnt the Golden Age of Television.
Republican Senator LARRY CRAIG for LIBERACE! by uberman	Sep 11th, 2008 12:44:27 PM
He's got the mannerisms and the voice down to a 'T'. Plus, he's researched extensively.
Wrong Post-My Bad. by uberman	Sep 11th, 2008 12:45:03 PM

He is my favorite comedian ever. :D by Anna Valerious	Sep 11th, 2008 01:38:35 PM
Well, one of them. Especially hilarious is his episode of "Pulp Comics" where his idea of purgatory is where they send all the souls in limbo to do the worst jobs ever, such as rodeo clown and meter reader. So yeah, I hope to see some hilarity here.
Sea Monsters by spartacus728	Sep 11th, 2008 03:08:21 PM
I'm old Gregg.
Gould is funny on Carolla by Heckles	Sep 11th, 2008 07:33:40 PM
Glad someone is.
hear! hear! what leobloom said about movies by rben	Sep 11th, 2008 08:33:59 PM
i've been thinking the same thing. i mean after the coens, scorsese and allen shuffle off this mortal coil, what the fuck are we going to be left with? favrou (or whatever the hell he spells it) directing Iron Man 10? jj abrams bringing fringe to the big screen a year after it's cancelled? christ, ellison's title the glass teat may as well be applied to the movies these days (don't even bother calling our stuff "the cinema" anymore.) guess it's time for be to start stockpiling those old episodes of The Avengers if i want any clever sophistacation anymore. (or learn to love foreign filims). And as for books, the internet has turned my brain into tapioca so i can't even read anymore. thanks internet!
SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS directed by. . . . by Violator90	Sep 16th, 2008 09:04:04 PM
Mikey Bay! Yes! You heard it here first people! We are gonna have 30mins of CGI sea monsters with 1 and a half hours worth of 'splosions. Vern Troyer as Sigmund. Any living ewoks for the rest of the monsters invading land.
Lidsville: The Horror Movie! by Violator90	Sep 16th, 2008 09:17:18 PM
That show creeped the FUCK out of me! Even as a kid, I knew that show as just scaring the shit out of kids like me! But damn, if it wouldn't be one hell of scary movie if it was made into a horror movie. Have those fucking hats eat people, drinking blood and fucking then you have my attention. Otherwise, fuck it all to hell.
