If you had to rank these three summer mini-series, what order would you place them in?

 

[Argee]

NBC signed a deal for five of these mini series. The other three wil be broadcast on Syfy.

 

[Ken H]

Last, last, and last.

 

[Gmichael2]

Shall we rank these vs other Sci-fi type shows or the reality TV crap thats on 98% of the time?


Ranking vs other Sci-fi: 98, 99, 100.

Ranking vs reality crap: 8, 9, 10

Storm, Meteor, Impact (Best to Worst).

I kind of like these cheesy mini-series/made for tv "movies".

Are you the same bicker over at tivoforums?

 

[bicker1]

Yeah, that's me.


Thanks... I just need to put them in order, so I know which to use as filler first...

Well 'Storm' debuts next week...but 'Impact' which wasn't that great looked like an Oscar-winner compared to 'Meteor.' This was really bottom feeder dreck (though the asteroid SFX were decent.) The only decent character was the Sheriff whom I liked. I mean the deaths of Lloyd (car hit n run) and totally non-believable character scientist Jason Alexander (beware the giant plasma TV!) were just...so stupidly shocking they were actually funny. The subplots were ridiculous. I mean did they have jr high students write this? And hundreds of nukes going off under a HUGE asteroid DEFLECTS its decent path...I mean like by 45 degrees?!?!?!? Nevermind the fact you're in a (mostly) vacuum and no air pressure blast to push against the asteroid. This isn't even at the level of junk science but stupidity at its best (worst?)

Not to sound like a doofus, but what are these?

 

[chroma601]

These are NBC summer fodder!

 

[DaveFi]

0, 0, and -0.

 

[Marty Milton]

Weren't all three of these disaster mini-series on NBC? I have seen a previous thread that talks about Impact on ABC. I know it was only a few weeks ago, but I think it was NBC, right?

 

[mx6bfast]

Remember 10.5 on NBC a couple of years ago?

 

[fredfa]

No way to rate "Storm" yet -- but if the other two are any indication.....

 

[Whitearrow]

Impact was way better than Meteor, relatively speaking. If you're going to do these movies I definitely prefer staying with the scientist characters... I can seriously do without escaped-criminal subplots and idiot teenage girls in peril.

After reading this review of "The Storm" I am definitely not going to watch it.

I'm pretty sure impact was on ABC,meteor on NBC and the storm wii be on NBC.
