No no, I understand what you're saying. It's different, it's not going to be CNNNN because that was a different concept. But... you have to admit that if people liked CNNNN more, then they'd say something like 'oh, I liked CNNNN better' even if it's nothing to do with it. It's like me saying "Oh, have you seen Black Books?" "Yeah, i like it! But I liked Father Ted more!" Which... is slightly annoying, but they're by the same guy so you just *do* naturally try and compare. If someone asks you 'what is the best book by such and such an author' you name one, usually. Even if they're a bunch of different genres but by the same person. Still annoying with CNNNN/Chaser, but you can sort of see why people do it, surely?
If they want Chaser to be like CNNNN though, then that's ridiculous.

Maybe I'm just one of those weird people who likes or dislikes shows for what they are, regardless of who made them. o.O Just like I don't see movies based on who's in them, but on whether they look interesting or not. But then I don't have favourite books either, I have favourite authors. If you asked me which is Isobelle Carmody's best book, I couldn't name one. I'd tell you to read all her work because they're all worth reading. I'd tell you to read all of Garth Nix's work. Or Terry Pratchett. Or whoever. *shrugs*

I suppose this is just another example of how differently I see things to the rest of the world. *sighs*

heh maybe! But surely you have a less favoured book by Isobelle? (Who I also love, by the way). Or Terry? Etc? I agree for sure that people shouldn't *expect* Chaser to be like CNNNN. But if they liked one more than the other then... that's just how it is. But if they are all like 'aw i wish they'd do more stuff like CNNNN' then that's just stupid, because it's a different thing.
I don't see movies based on who's in them... unless it's someone *uber* cool, like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Hot Fuzz was instantly on my list of 'movies I must see' because I knew that they'd do it brilliantly. But isn't that like you saying 'go read everything by Terry coz he's great!'? But when it comes to *most* other actors, I don't care at all who is in them, I like the characters rather than the actors, and I won't watch a boring movie just because some 'hot guy' is in it.

Actually, I love all of her work. I honestly can't pick a favourite. If people like CNNNN over The War, fine, just don't expect or insist that they repeat the same thing over and over because it will get boring.

I will admit Hot Fuzz (and Shaun of the Dead) was my one exception. Because Simon Pegg is awesome. But that's as far as it goes. And I suppose it is like saying that. But still, if a movie sounds lame or uninteresting, I won't see it, no matter who's in it.
