Maybe I can start by saying that this was THE GREATEST TV SHOW EVER MADE!, but that might be a little bit of an understatement. I remember 6 years ago watching this show every Friday night, and loving it! Before that, all I used to watch on TV was cartoons. Now, when one of my favorite movie series ever was being made into this show, I couldn't miss out. I even taped every episode on a blank VHS tape so, to this day, I can watch them whenever I choose. I remember the day after Christmas marathon that, unfortunately, I couldn't watch completely, but that brought me even more great news with the announcement of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I really wish this show lasted more than 13 episodes, and concept art was even found of an episode that never was. I still hope this great series gets a DVD release like it deserves. I know that I will buy it.

There is not a whole lot that can be said about TREMORS other than that it was a great show. It wasn't quite as good as the movies, but it was still fun to watch. Just like with the TREMORS movies, the special effects were nothing special, but they still seemed cool. The special effects could have been better, though then again, it wouldn't be TREMORS if the special effects weren't a little cheesy. Being a big fan of the movie series, I watched the show every week and enjoyed every episode so naturally I was very disappointed when I heard it wasn't picked up for a second season. Hopefully the show will be released on DVD some day so fans of the movies who didn't get to see the show will be able to.

This franchise seems to have gotten worse with each new entry. The first movie is great, the second was just ok (but the Graboids looked like those robots from the Ninja Turtles cartoon), the 3rd film was silly, but the show is just plain dull. What really hurts it (besides cheesy effects) is that they really aren't doing much. It's the Scooby Doo scenerio: do the same thing every week. Either some baddies come to Perfection to kill or battle El Blanco or the gang is fighting off some cheesy monsters. This is beyond predictable. Unlike the much-missed "Farscape" show it replaced that made something out of nothing, this show makes nothing into garbage (ironically a writer/producer of "Farscape" works on this show, now that's sad). Another problem is that it's overly gory. There are some really nasty scenes in this one that might turn some people off of it. I don't recall the movies being this bloody. We really don't need this much carnage fellas. And just how many people live in the town of Perfection anyway? 5? Why not just get the hell out of there? Are they really that stupid to want to hang around while these bad things keep happening to them? Geez, they're dumber than the main characters of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR for crying out loud! It's also sad to think that such a great actor like Michael Gross went from "Family Ties" to this. He must really need the money badly to subject himself to this tripe. The rest of the cast of the first film knew when it was time to get outta Dodge yet poor Michael still sticks around. Somebody get him a new agent fast! Besides, if it wasn't for that really catchy theme song and that Rosalita babe there wouldn't be any reason to even bother with this show to begin with. They should subtitle this one "What A Way To Waste a Good Cast". This show is so bad it just might kill the franchise entirely. Way to screw up again Sci Fi!!! >:(

Well, when I first heard that Tremors was going to become a weekly TV series, my first reaction was WTF? I loved the original movies and still do this day, but to have Burt Gummer go up against Tremors week after week would seem pretty redundant. Until I saw the series.The best thing about the show is that they do not focus as much on Graboids or Shriekers or Asslbasters that much at all, but rather take an X-Files approach to the series. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, and could be considered the pick-up of the humur that was lacking in many X-Files episodes. Seeing it as a continuation of the events from the last movie makes sense, as most movie-to-TV series concepts don't have the same relish as the movies (Ferris Bueller? Clerks? Clueless?), but this could really turn that feeling around greatly. I hope SciFi realizes what they have and keep it for three or four seasons.
