lachtna I had been shopping for a Christmas present and saw the television "20 Q" and knew I could stump the game with this show.It was referred to as the "thinking mans Gilligan's Island" but couldn't be really referred to as that because it wasn't a thinking show but rather a funny take on a very unfunny subject, nuclear annihilation and how people who are forced into living together to survive learn to live with each other.It was a funny little show that had a BAD time slot (Sunday morning 12:30am here) and therefore was doomed from the start.The final episode that aired was the Christmas episode and the other episodes of the short-lived show never aired.Our loss, it was a half hour show to just get away from your problems and think about nothing.

tallguy98366 OK, so it was not the best attempt and perhaps the subject matter did not leave much room for development. But I kind of liked this little fill in show. It started with a parade and some clumsy kids then showed a guy in a VW bug at at a gas pump surrounded by desert. I have just finished converting the 5 and a half episodes I could find on some old tapes to DVD and the one episode that I really loved came through...the guilt ridden Santa show. This was one of the most hilarious Christmas shows I have ever seen. It seems when the bombs dropped, Santa panicked and locked Mrs. Claus out of the bunker. Now he is torn by guilt and becomes a pain in the butt for the hapless survivors in the farm house. Great stuff. OK, so it was may have been a poorly done rip off of Gilligan's Island. You had the liberal, the spoiled rich Republican, the stupid hot chick, the frustrated mid aged gal, the urbane black guy (Rembrandt Brown from Sliders) and the homeless guy. Comparisons can be made to the island bound folks. While they did make a good will attempt to entertain I think it was doomed from the start due to built in limitations. But it was diverting, as these quickie Fox shows go,and I would like to see it on DVD someday. After all, look at how popular the 6 episodes of Police Squad are.

Mike_Tee_Vee Woops! (1992) was a show that I kept on hearing about being indevelopment for a few years. The concept was interesting and I waited.... and waited for it to finally come on television. After waiting for theNetwork to finally air the first episode I just completely forgot about it. But when it did air I wasn't impressed. It was very lame and juvenile. I couldhave come up with better ideas whilst sitting on the toilet. Too badbecause I really liked the premise. Sadly, like all shows if this genre theproducers fail to deliver a good product. What's even stranger is the factthat this show was neither a comedy or a fantasy. It's neither fish or fowl. Just another bad show that didn't make it a full season. Not to be confusedwith Whoops! or Whoops Apocalypse!I'm Mike Tee Vee. See ya next time!

sdribble This show drove me nuts for one reason-they SPELLED THE NAME OF THE SHOW WRONG. 'Whoops' has an 'H' in it. This tells us a lot about the people who were behind it. Not one person caught this simple error. The show itself was pretty dumb, as I recall.
