Richie Freebird Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Christ, next you'll be saying "I've got black and gay friends" too. You don't need to explain yourself. I think it may have sounded like I was being derogatory earlier, towards certain styles. Just wanted to clear that up.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2013 Don't know about the hardcore metal fans (I've never been to Bloodstock) but the rock/metal fans at Download seem pretty accepting. Chase & Status & Pendulum got a great reception at Donington. Not sure if Slayer would get a similar reaction at Creamfields? Â The folks at Hammerfest went one of two ways. Those who scowled at us blasting out "Best Power Ballad EVER" albums, and those who sang along. Those who scowled all looked virginal for the record, and so didn't deserve to hear us listening to Patti Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted March 21, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2013 This misses part of the point for me. Did you read the debate right from the beginning though? Â I did, and then I wanted to share my thoughts on what makes so many metal bands seem cringe worthy and laughable from my point of view. Â Too be fair its been a rough few days, so I can't account for how well put my point is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've been thinking about Raw/Smackdown and wondered is there any other examples of weekly scripted TV programmes with two or more connected shows? The only one that sticks out for me is Casualty and Holby City. They're set in the same hospital and feature the same collective mass who appear on both shows from time to time and they're canonically linked. Is there any other examples? I thought Brookside and Hollyoaks were, but I'm not sure. Â Also, is there any other 3-hour scripted shows which are weekly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 3 hour weekly shows I'd count Soccer AM and Sunday Brunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hasn't Soccer AM been reduced to 2 hours now? Â Heartbeat and The Royal on ITV would be one I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2013 Frasier was a spinoff though. It started when Cheers ended right? I know characters from Cheers appeared in Frasier, but they were never running concurrently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a crossover episode between CSI NY and Cold Case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2013 So I think what we're saying is that it's generally a bad idea and all the shows that do it are either all terrible, or at best it's only worth watching one of the shows so it's still a bad idea? Â Â Like, there's no point at all in having even a passing interest in SD! now that the brand split is dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted March 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Law and Order SVU - Det Munch crossed over into Homicide and some other cop shows, not sure if there were other characters that did the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
