thats the newscaster on the simpsons in the homer astronaught episode right?

Yeah, I sort of swiped it from there but was totally sincere about TV Guide or any other large conglomerate wishing to purchase us.

I hadn't been to jumptheshark.com in a while. I just went over and checked it out after reading this thread. Wow, what a disappointing site they've got over there now.

Jumptheshark was sold to TV guide in 2005 or so, made it's creator a millionaire.

I personally welcome our potential new corporate masters at TV Guide and will gladly do their bidding.

The IMDB message boards are getting like that now.
I have seen alot of "this movie was racist" or "this movie was homohpobic"
threads on there now.
SIlly, and even sillier the people that fall for the trolls.

Especially the Purple Gay Trolls...

Sorry. Couldn't resist...

I still have a subscription to TV Guide but it pretty much lost all charm to me when they went to a magazine format to compete with everyone else out there.....The Fall Preview Issue hasn't been the same thrill since....

I'm amazed TV Guide is still in business...talk about an obsolete product...

I think many people still buy it out of habit. it does have entertainment articles so I guess it still has some value, plus not everyone has Cable or Direct tv in 2009

Years ago I used to read some of the Jump the Shark stuff members wrote on that site.

I got the idea there was a lot of trolls and trouble-makers over there.

It seems that calling shows "racist" was one of their biggest things to start arguements.

They either had bad mods, or no mods at all on most of the topics I read.

Needless to say, it wasn't my cup of tea and I moved on.

Man, what disasterous moves would TV guide do to this community ? I shiver at the thought. I never joined Jump the Shark.com but I had visited the site once or twice.It was pretty cool.

Man that was a cool site, sad to see it go.
Anyone remember Yesterdayland.com ?
That was a great site, that just dissapeared in 2002. Lots of old tv stuff on there, even some pretty obscure pilots that aired once and things like that.

I dont want to start another ranting thread, but it sucks sucks sucks when something great like jump the shark gets eaten by some coporate beast and destroyed.
