Who knew it was hard to get noticed when you’re broadcast to millions? OMG Lists has compiled a, well, list of the “Top 5 Shows The General Public (For Some Reason) Couldn’t Understand.”  Some were cut short in their prime, others never generated enough attention to stay afloat—and all were cancelled by their respective networks before they ever had a chance to prove themselves. Sadly enough, I’ve only actually watched two out of the five shows named—My So-Called Life and Stella. But I’ve been told repeatedly to watch (and, in fact, been harassed for not watching) the other three.  So it is with confidence that I say this is a well-crafted list. But still I wonder… Perhaps OMG Lists underestimates the general public when they declare that due to the sadly brief lives of these shows we must have therefore not understood them. The DVD sales, and the petitions that went into the release of certain DVDs in the first place (Freaks and Geeks, My So-Called Life) might prove otherwise.  It seems as though it is the networks that have failed to understand the brilliance and uniqueness of these shows and others (Undeclared, for example, was not included) rather than “the general public.” Now, if you excuse me, I need to go add some things to my Netflix queue.

To see the list for yourself, check it out here.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
