Anyone remember the show Beyond 2000?

[TommyVercetti]

It ended in 1998 I believe. That was the best show I have ever seen about new technologies and what not. I guess the year 2000 was about to come, so they decided to end it.

 

[novon]

[waggy]

[MournSanity]

[DrumminBoy]

heck yeah. I used to LOVE that show, I think thats what got me interested in computers/technology.

 

[Spoooon]

I used to watch it all the time.

 

[KokomoGST]

Yup... too bad they half the stuff they talked about is still a bunch of pipedreams. Superconductors and levitating trains are still impractical as ever.

Yeah, they had a lot of cool shows back in the day. I remember that Soledad O'Brien used to be on one of them. She later went on to NBC and is now on CNN

Man .. i thought you were originally referring to that sitcom called Wings. It rerunned on the USA network.

 

[AvesPKS]

Yep, they had chocolate that wouldn't melt, a Porsche 911 that was invisible to radar...so many cool things.

Edit: I used to watch Brute Force on A&E hosted by George C. Scott...
