Illuminate me, what does Seinfeld have to do with the Wrath of Khan?

I kind of liked SWAT.

The eleven movies:
I actually didn't see any of them, though I did catch a few minutes of both Flintstones and Scooby on television. Of movies based on TV shows, the only ones I can think of that I've seen are The Brady Bunch Movie and The X-Files. I'm surprised that Cedric's Honeymooners didn't make the list. It looked as awful as a movie can be. EDIT: Oops, I forgot, I did see the first two or three Star Trek movies.

Seinfeld referenced Wrath Of Khan a few times. When George's fiance died, they used a lot of Kirk's eulogy for Spock for her eulogy.

And the usage in another episode of Kirk screaming Khan's name Khan, which eventually morphed into a screaming of Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix in another episode.

remakes are not the same as spinoffs. AOL list has mixed the 2.

I thought "Head" was pretty good. I mean, I saw it in the '70's on a double bill with "200 Motels" and who knows what I had in my system at the time, but I liked it. Otherwise, I've seen none of the others on Vic's worst list.

They've done some parodies of Kirk's over the top KHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN! in a couple of episodes, most noticable in "The Foundation" after the death of George's fiancee

Edit: Ya know, Steve's had his balls busted enough these past few days. Never mind.

Would it have had anything to do with him answering a question that was already answered seven days ago?

When i ran my campus film series, i too showed it on a double-bill with 200 MOTELS. The Monkees made HEAD to destroy their bland TV-based personas and sabotage the show's success. Which is pretty funny, considering that all they WERE was a TV creation to begin with. The movie is a pseudo-acid trip, with mostly crappy songs. It certainly helps to be in an altered state when watching it. The tv show, goofy and self-conscious as it was, was better. Although the concept of them being merely Victor Mature's dandruff is the stuff of nightmares, and it has stayed with me to this day. I actually love the MONKEES music. They had some of the best songwriters, producers and studio musicians of the period working on their albums. In fact, i bet i could put up a pretty impressive top ten in the BLC ratings competition, if i were of a mind to.

I never watched the show, but loved the commercial and opening credits showing the fourth one trying to fly and failing. Cracked me up every time.

Great obscure fact about the Monkees TV show:

Scooby Doo isn't bad, especially if you watch it with a 5-year-old.

Serenity is an awesome flick, they never should have canceled Firefly, it's simply brilliant.
