burrito88 The do these reality shows because they are cheap to make. You'd don't have to pay the people much (unless they think they are famous and demand more money)and you don't need sets. I miss reruns. At least they real TV shows. And whatever happened to showing...

It's too scary

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 26 Apr 13

Sometime the science channel is just too scary for me to watch, I'd rather watch old reruns then find a reality that scares me. Like virus from outer space, or over due valcano eruptions. Ignorance is much more comfortable than...

ctryhnny @ctryhnny (3460) • United States 27 Apr 13

On demand had Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies for $2.99. Since I love any zombie movie I ordered it and watched it. I should have known that since it's basically a newish movie that it must be horrible to be on cable already and at a...

burrito88 What do you expect for a movie with that title, especially since it went straight to video. It was an obvious attempt at a rip off of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer. If you are looking for bad movies, perhaps you should look for the old black and white movie...
