They made a TV show (http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/pa-the-series/101/). What were they thinking?

Think of the children!

Penny Arcade is one of the sites on my morning coffee list

Gosh I hate Penny Arcade! :P
This is a great comic strip (http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/?PerPage=10) that I would not mind seeing a TV show to. :P Pearls is the best strip out there. (Dilbert and Foxtrot closely tying for second of course)

As far as pilots go it's pretty well put together. Not bad, overall. It's a bit lacking in direction at times, but it managed to make me laugh at a couple moments

As for actually watching this as a true TV show? I'm not sure they have the ability to make it something worth watching week after week. BUt hey, it might surprise me.

If I was into this sort of thing to begin with, I think I'd prefer their podcast because it doesn't take as long to load and lets face it neither of them are attractive females.

But I prefer to read the strip (and often moreso) the website posts they make.

I don't like PA.

Prefer CAD, though I don't follow anything. More like go away for two years, read then go away.

TSOLAR, OOTS.

PA is the only webcomic I still read. About 7-8 years ago I was reading half a dozen every day, but PA was the only one that remained consistently amusing. That said, I won't be watching any 'tv show' of theirs.

Any TV show where you are forced to view Scott Kurtz should require a warning. No, multiple warnings.

The comic is great, but the show...?

Ever read OOTS (Order of the Stick)?


I don't like PA.

Prefer CAD,

Do you prefer imitation soy burgers to beef as well? ~;p

Yep. OOTS, PvP, PA, and CAD were my main ones. OOTS I tended to read in spurts (months at a time) instead of daily. I found it more enjoyable that way.

PA is going down the same route as CAD, which has been running for I think 2 or 3 seasons now.

I never really got into PA. I used to really like CAD, but it's not as interesting to me anymore. I don't know if it's changing sense of humor or a change to a more story driven webcomic, or both, but I no longer find it funny.
