4 persons have something to say about this!:
(1) Excellent News!
(5) Again, I must say! Just finished Series and Series 3 is next.
(9) I hadn't realized this was still on.
(15) They kinda jumped the gun, as this is pre-10to11. (It's easy, just put it on top of the list.)
(16) Not in MY country. Ah well. It's not like I don't have plenty of Who to watch at home.
(19) What?!? Outrageous!!! (It was only on Tuesdays?)
Who indeed knew that Powers Rangers was still going?
Sorry to hear the BBC's YouTube channel doesn't work outside the UK for old Who stories... I'm looking forward to clearing my 'busy schedule' one day and sitting down to watch either Planet Of The Spiders (which scared the bejeepers out of me as a kid) or The Krotons.
At last we agree! I thought Survivors was poor.
Although I love the first Ghostbusters, I am not looking forward to the third. The second was choppy enough, and they're all long past it. I fear the worst.
"At last we agree!" It's a miracle ;)
When we saw the trailer and I groaned, Rachel said: "But you're still going to watch it, aren't you?"
But I don't know - previous shows that I've stuck with (like Primeval and Merlin) came on in leaps and bounds in their second seasons, but I really can't see Survivors doing that as well.
I guess my viewing depends what else is on at the same time...
