G vs E

Retro 70's hipness, ten years too early.

Hard to describe the charms of this excellent series. Shame it didn't catch on. Considering the rather bent sense of humor, perhaps not so surprising. But I loved it. Clayton Rohner and Richard Brooks had great chemistry and the whole wacky dead-pan tone was like The Mod Squad mixed with I-Spy and The X-files. Marshall Bell and Googie Gress were hilarious. The numerous celebrity cameos were very well-handled. (Never thought I'd see Emmanuel Lewis unmasked as a demon) I recall the show premiered on USA and then switched to SCi Fi channel. After the change there was a noticeable drop in quality. It was as if someone had given the decree to make is less edgy and more mainstream. But for the first ten episodes, there was nothing quite like it.

GvsE was a great show. It first started out on the USA Network but ratings dropped off and the show vanished. After Sliders ended, GvsE (now renamed good vs evil) took it's place in Sci-Fi Channel's Sci-Fi Prime line up, in between the awesome Farscape and the idiotic Lexx. But ratings were still low and the show has again been cancelled. The show had a very original concept and was very creative. Hopefully, Sci-Fi will reconsider it's decision on cancelling.

I've only seen G vs E on SciFi Channel (UK), and they only have about ten episodes to cycle through, but I haven't laughed so hard since I stumbled over MST3K in '97 (also ten eps cycling, sadly). Horror/SciFi spoof of cheap 70's cop shows, ripping off any number of film and TV forms to perfection (the Rear Window ep is beautiful), it's a tragedy that genuinely original programming goes unwatched, and falls by the wayside. If any series deserves to become immortalised on DVD, this is the one.

GvsE is the most original, well written, action packed, hilarious show now on television. This is the type of program that will keep me glued to my TV set waiting to see what's next. Both the Pate Brothers and the USA Network are to be congratulated in this wonderful collaboration of having the brains and the guts to present this wonderfully entertaining original show on television. If you haven't tuned in yet, do so as this is the type of television that will keep you coming back for more. I hope the ratings on this clever, clever show grow and grow because we, the audience want MORE. Keep up the great work. GvsE rocks!!!!! - Miss Monroe

GvsE is doing a great job at becoming a pop culture icon. The series takes a new and refreshing twist at television. I hope USA keeps it going. The actors fit the characters style very well. If you are a hard-core sci-fi fan take the time to see a couple of episodes. Remember, the show is a satire.
