I wonder what Justine Bateman's top score was?

@wilw

He also writes that vintage gaming column for The Onion; we should give him credit for that :mrgreen:

I wish they would've put the show on HBO like they said they would. At least the movie is coming out.

I'd say that Fox deserves a share of the blame, as they were the ones that failed to market it successfully (or at all in some instances) and continually messed with its time slot. At least they gave it three years though, rather than just pulling the plug immediately.
