Earth-2 was by far the worst I've ever seen. The writers were downright
PROUD that they didn't have a grasp on the fundamentals of science or
writing, for that ,atter.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

Agreed. We got the whole DVD set for Christmas. The funniest thing I
noticed that is seemed in every episode someone was falling down an
embankment and getting hurt, so they couldn't get back to camp.
