Oh my lord, Battlefield Earth! Is it safe to watch it? I've heard so much (AWFUL) about it that it tempts me, but ... Scientologists ... gah ....

Cleopatra 2525 seems to ring a bell, but I don't think it ever made it to any of my local television screens. As for The Vampire Diaries? I agree. I watched precisely one episode and it was so very, very mediocre.
