    This was aired on "The SciFi Channel" but not picked-up after the lackluster response from viewers.  I found it absolutly hilarious and fantastic. With the voice talents of Paul giamatti, Patton Oswalt, David Hyde Pierce, and Molly Shannon, it is clear the cast was well-picked and talented.  This one episode features robots (well, robotic bodies), cannibals, lycanthropes, vampires, mummies, zombies, demi-gods, Hyboreans, and intelligent apes.  Wow, it's got everything.  It works well although with only 20 minutes of actual show footage some people might come away feeling like they didn't get what they paid for.  I didn't feel this way for a minute and the extras on the DVD make up for the lack of actual show length.  I also found it for a competitive price of 10 dollars

    Westworld  (1973)

    I was impressed by this movie.  The story centers around two men visiting a futuristic amusement park that allows them to live out their wild west fantasies to the minutest detail.  Gunfights and quick-draw shootouts are made possible by robot antagonists, that is, until the robots decide they don't like being the ones shot all the time.  The main villainous robot is portrayed by Academy Award winning Yul Brynner.  He plays a robot version of the character he portrayed in "The Magnificent Seven".  This is one of the few movies that Michael Crichton directed although  "The Great Train Robbery" is probably more well liked.  "Westworld" reminds me of  "Terminator", and "Jurassic Park" and it is quite possible it influenced both.  I found it engaging and fascinatingand hopefully you will to.  Be sure to chek out the sequel "Futureworld", again  with Yul Brynner as a psychotic robot,  and look out for the upcoming remake "Westworld" slated for a 2009 release
