World War II: Worst TV Series Ever

[Jschmus]

I didn't write this, and I don't know the blogger, but a friend of a friend pointed it out, and I thought I'd share:

Hysterical! 

But it takes you a while before you realise what he's getting at.....

"...and they never wonder if maybe they should consider using the frickin' unstoppable mystical superweapon that they won the last war with. At this point, you're starting to wonder if any of the show's writers have even watched the episodes the other writers made."

BWAH-HA-HA!!!!

That was the line that broke me.

Very witty!!!

Should have been cancelled after the pilot episode

Hilarious. Of course, most guys I've shown it to didn't get it, claiming the writer was an idiot.

To be fair it fell on deaf ears when i passed it on but i think it's outstanding

Ok, I fall into the writer's an idiot category. I got the distinct impression that he doenn't have a clue about WW2.

Begin from the beginning.  He starts off talking about Babylon 5.  Whatever its faults (and there were some), the show was always tied together in a plausible manner.  Very rarely did anything happen which was out of character for the series, because the show had a bible, and the writers and producers stuck to it.

The he goes on to talk about Doctor Who, which only has a very tenuous continuity, and various characters and concepts are revamped and revised sometimes willy-nilly from series to series.

The rest is clearly satire.  Yes, the author knows about World War II, and a good bit of history before and after.  He simply treats the war as though it were another totally preposterous TV program.  It's obviously tongue-in-cheek, or at least I thought so.

It reminds me a Brian Regan skit.

Reading is hard. You ever try that? I read good. Goodly. But I hate when you're trying to read something and you come across the expression 'One thing led to another'. What in the hell kind of lazy writing is that? Isn't that your job as the writer to tell me how this led to that? You can just throw that in there? "Adolf Hitler was rejected as a young man on his application to art school... One thing led to another... And the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the sovereign nation of Japan." This is some pamphlet!

Cheers,
