Brilliant Homage

This homage to Video Games in general and Atari in almost specific is one of the reasons I'll never understand Futurama getting cancelled.

ok..clicked the link. Just wondering are you posting that to discuss it again, or do you think there are some resident atari freaks here who haven't seen it yet over the past 3 years

Aparently, from what I've gathered, you people that have been posting here for the last 150 years think that everyone that posts here needs to apologize everytime they post something, in case it was already discussed.

 

But, ya know, I'm really not going to do that.

 

 

I've witnessed several new people join this list even since I've been here. Chances are very good some of them haven't seen this and I am just NOT going to do a search on this forum everytime I want to post something.

 

That, about answer your question?

 

I hope so.

Actually that's kind of the wrong take on it... It has less to do with Atariage posts, and more to do with Futurama being such a popular show amongst our demographic

 

Here I got a vid for you.

Can't believe I've never seen that episode before!! I love futurama!! Thanks for the linky!!

[Foxsolo2000]

Damn I had forgotten that episode. One of the best they ever did

[Lord Helmet]

I had never seen it either...that was GREAT!

Thankfully, Cartoon Network has been playing Futurama lately. I liked the show when it originally aired, but could never catch it since it was on at a different day/time each week! Nowadays, my DVR records it for me.

 

So, I recently updated the screen shots on my Atari on TV page.

Greg, don't you think citing the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Mooninites as a Space Invaders reference is a bit of a stretch? Aside from being pixelated, they look nothing like the aliens in any incarnation of Space Invaders.

[elviticus]

BOTH those clips were new to me - very cool.

Sorry for being so snippy with you NE, I was having a bit of a bad day.

GREAT page Greg and glad I could be of some small help to you. But, I love the idea of what you did there and I personally agree that the mooninites are homages to Space invaders, nothing else really fits what theya re supposed to be.

 

 

 

I also like seeing another Threes Company fan. I'll say it to the day I die, ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN TV SITCOMS OF ALL TIME.

 

I still recall Joyce Dewitt in one of those NBC Saturday Morning preview shows when they tell her Space Ace is joining the Supercade line-up. She says, "I've played that game!"

 

But, even as a kid it sounded so forced and fake, you could so tell she had NO clue what Space Ace even was.
