Friday is network television's graveyard. More often than not, shows are
placed there to whither and die (Ugly Betty). Life being what it is, six of
one and a half dozen of another, some shows, like The Ghost Whisperer,
stubbornly take root. Friday night is not as bad as Saturday night (is

Yeah, only SciFi Channel and stuff like 20/20 and Dateline thrive on
Friday. Now, CBS has found winning formulae with Ghost Whisperer, as you
mentioned, and Numbers (a good show that'd probably get more buzz on another
night). But other than that, it's not a primo night. I raised an eyebrow to

Keith, I thought so as well. Maybe we both subconsciously put it there, as it

And another noticeable absence from the list -- Mike Myers' absymal The Love

Last week, if memory serves, someone (forgive me for not naming you -- memory
still plays havoc) posed the question if SF itself was dead/dying. This is a
short piece, not really fleshed out on its own or in comments. I'm hoping we
can beef it up a bit ourselves.
A few spoilers, from the look of it, for anyone interested.

Verhoeven did Starship Troopers and Black Book post-Showgirls. Starshp Troopers
isn't a fave but it was well received and Black Book was critically acclaimed.
Unfortunately he also squeezed Hollow Man in there too.

I know Black Book was critically acclaimed (I still haven't seen it) but
Starship Troopers is a hot mess. I still assert Verhoeven hasn't done
anything post-Showgirls to rival his work pre-Showgirls.

That's a bit of a different assertion. ;) He has made successful films but they

His work after Showgirls isn't anywhere as good as stuff you mentioned or his
