Falling Skies Season 3 TV Poster
Total Fabrication
Did you know? Always a stickler for authenticity, director Stanley Kubrick had the cast of Full Metal Jacket participate in the military invasion of Grenada with real US Marines in 1983 in preparation for that movie. According to reports, actor Matthew Modine was the first cast member to get a confirmed kill.
Iron Man vs Robocop is R vs PG-13
If Robocop were made today it wouldn’t be an R-Rated bloody gore-fest about a metallic half-human half-cyborg cop blasting the bad-guys. It’d be a PG-13 kid friendly flick about a billionaire industrialist who creates a suit of armor and flies around fighting evil doers.

The fallen 5: TV series that went on a few seasons too long
The X-Files (1993-2002)
- Ended after nine seasons
- When it should have ended? Probably in the sixth or seventh season, but certainly before the introduction of Agents Dogget and Reyes. (Aka Mulder and Scully’s replacements.)
The Office (2005-2013)
- Ending after nine seasons
- When it should have ended? After six seasons. Before then, The Office was a funny show with a lot of heart. After, it was just another “do anything for laughs” comedy minus the heart.
Scrubs (2001-2010)
- Ended after nine seasons
- When it should have ended? After eight seasons when the show moved to ABC and replaced most of the main cast with new faces. Scrubs never got “bad,” it just stopped being all that interesting.
Lost (2004-2010)
- Ended after six seasons.
- When it should have ended? Honestly I think it should have ended after three seasons. After that the show began its slide towards mediocrity.
Community (2009-?)
- Currently, the show is in its fourth season.
- When it should have ended? The end of the third season was pitch perfect. Unfortunately, while the fourth season of the show has had a few moments of comedy, for the most part it hasn’t lived up whatsoever to what’s come before.
