VIDU

Cidu Bill on Mar 9th 2010

Several people sent me this (to me personally that is, not to CIDU) telling me how funny it was. They neglected to tell me why.

Funky-D

Cidu Bill on Jan 15th 2010

S.P. Charles: I actually understand what Funky’s talking about; but WTF on so many levels… Is this strip supposed to make some sort of sense, or has Tom Batiuk gone Pat Robinson-crazy?

For the Post-Christmas Awww Files

Cidu Bill on Dec 31st 2009

Keera: I can so relate to today’s “The Buckets”; I got the same movie, too, for Christmas. I do have one gripe: “Star Wars” was never set in the future, only in a galaxy far, far away.

Is there anything here other than the incongruity of Spock wanting to be called Mister Hot Stuff? Maybe a reference to the fact that in the Star Trek reboot he seems to be in a permanent state of pon farr?

Worst Endings Ever

Cidu Bill on Aug 30th 2008

So Grandpa Jim will remain on death’s door for eternity. How uplifting.

This monstrosity made me think about the worst television endings ever. I doubt there are many Star Trek fans who wouldn’t name Enterprise’s finale as one of the worst-ever finales. Quantum Leap was another stinker.

Of course, a great many television series simply go off the air and don’t have finales at all — and some go on for too many seasons and stink so bad by the end that any finaleis merciful (I’m sure some of you are thinking FBOFW falls into this category, so I’ll save you the trouble of pointing that out) — but the question before us here is: Worst television finale ever (or to put it in a more trendy way, worst. television. finale. ever.)
