[net.sf-lovers] V and Otherworld

I tend to watch Sci-Fi compulsively, so I am overjoyed to hear that "V"
has been canceled!  Not only was this show stupid, I really found it to
be offensive.  What kind of message was this show suppose to be giving
to children?  Why put all this soap-opera sex on a children's show?
Also, the most offensive thing I have ever seen on prime time was the
mincing homosexual alien who appeared in the last few episodes.  The
writers of this show must be a bunch of jerks.

Has anyone been watching "Otherworld"?  It's pretty dumb too, but not
quite as offensive as V.  The strange thing about this show is the arty
production and direction.  Sort of a wasted effort, really.  The last
episode was set in a city ruled by a corporate dictatorship and ended
with a worker's revolt.  Now there is a show looking to get canceled!
