Title: Who Wants To Be a Superhero?
Post by: indie boi on Aug 11, 2006 at 02:53 PM: Who among you guys have watched "Who Wants to be a Superhero"?

I just previewed the first episode and, my god! I haven't laughed this hard in years. This is the geek show to beat all other geek shows. It's silly beyond belief.

On the contrary... I know I SHOULD be... but this is me, the guy who regularly beats "TV Geek" on Beat the Geeks, and Reality TV is my subgenre. ;D

I'm just on the second episode. I loved the twist at the end of it! I hope the show doesn't ultimately disappoint, since it's been a laugh trip so far.

BEST reality show to debut in a while.

Post by: SPaCeMaN SPiFF on Sep 12, 2006 at 10:02 PM: i've seen the whole thing... it's feels a little scripted by episode three. (but then we all suspected it to be... considering about 80% of the cast are professional actors.)

it's a trip to watch... especially when they get down to the final two. i'm still waiting to see the "original sci-fi movie" that's part of the prize.

and geez! their communicators are "un-badged" blueberries... old ones at that. LOL. it must feel weird to pretend to watch stan lee on it... then have to nod their heads in unison while doing so. ha ha ha!

I doubt it, since believe it or not...

Even I actually passed on this title. ;D

Too pricey considering it doesn't even have extended episodes nor deleted scenes. And a campy reality show is really just good for one viewing. ::)

(As if other reality shows are worth repeat viewing... Hmm...)

Post by: Grandpoobah on May 30, 2007 at 11:21 PM: Saw it. And loving every minute of it. Sometimes I think the whole thing is scripted (especially after the twist in episode 2). But it's just damn funny. I love Lemuria :)

Post by: sardaukar on Aug 27, 2007 at 12:21 AM: The season 2 5th episode aired this week. I haven't acquired it and wanted to get some Feedback :D first. Anyone watching it?
Title: Re: Who Wants To Be a Superhero?
Post by: Mr. Hankey on Aug 27, 2007 at 01:40 AM: My feedback is that I started the first episode, watched for about 10 minutes, stopped, then threw it out. ::)

Season One was so bad it was good. This one just felt plain bad. No idea if it improved, but I realized I have too much of a series backlog to waste time on something I wasn't even enjoying, especially since it's Australian Idol and Big Brother-US time, anyway.

Post by: voj on Aug 27, 2007 at 08:41 AM: my son lost interest in ALLLL reality shows after watching a single episode of Who Wants To Be A Superhero ;D

Agree with Hankey. The first one was very cheesy and so bad that you'd want to watch it. Each episode got cheesier and cheesier you'd start to wonder if a show could hold so much of it. Well it did but I told myself I won't even bother watching the second season, a man can only take so much cheese in his life.

Stan "The Man" Lee should win Worst Reality TV Host.
