I suppose in the end the wallet has the final say.

Yes, I watched RvsB S1, yes it was funny, but much of it was pointless filler. The only thing I remembered through it all was a conversation that went something like "We're out here in the middle of nowhere defending the blue flag, why, because the red guys are over there with a flag of their own. Its fucking stupid! If we left there would be no blue flag for them to capture and no point in defending their red flag!"... something like that.
Now its kinda cool seeing the Red VS Blue guys at Bestbuy on the X-box displays doing commercials, gives you a warm grass roots feeling inside, but thats a topic for another rambling.

The game just started a couple days ago and is being pursued at http://www.immersionunlimited.com/ [immersionunlimited.com]. The website the world is flocking to is http://www.ilovebees.com/ [ilovebees.com].
So, with a game that is not like a game promoting a game is definately something that will bend your mind.

Sure, it's not always universally side-splitting funny, but what form of entertainment is?
I say keep watching if you like it, and move on if you don't - no need to get all philosophical about it.
I was worried that it was basically over after the first season, but the 2nd season has had its moments as well (like Doc's "Okay, but I don't think it'll stick.").
Given the cost of admission - FREE, pay for the high res episodes or DVDs if you like it enough - how can anyone complain? It's not like someone's holding a plasma rifle to your head and making you watch it...

(ps. Episode 2 of the first season is still my favorite - "Griff - chupa-thingy, how 'bout that? I like it....it's got a ring to it....")

What do you think? When did RvB jump the shark to you, if ever?

Remember, the value isn't in the art but in the artist and their potential to develop. Sure, RvB is not Williams Street, but do you think given a few years of practice the writers could land something worthy of Adult Swim? I'd say so.

RvB works the best when there's interaction between characters or when they riff on gameplay elements
What about in the Season Finale of season 2, when Tucker finds out that both the red army and the blue army are basically the same, and that there was absolutly no point to absolutely everything they have been doing. I thought it

Tucker: No, nothing really, besides a bunch of crock pot recipes. Would those be useful?
Church: Do we have a crock pot?
Tucker: We did, but Caboose traded it to some annoying guy from Blue Base.
Church: What'd he get in return?
Tucker: A "mystery box."
Church: What was in the box?
Tucker: Forty jars of mayonnaise.
Church: Pssht. Well that's a good trade.
Tucker: Yeah, mayonnaise makes a good sunscreen.

RvB is the same, although I tend to laugh more than I do with the Simpsons because it fits my style of humor better (more random). Plus, its free for the low res. So I really don't see what the problem is. Frankly, if you think you can do better, then by all means go right ahead. Its certainly not easy to write a script for something like this. I'm planning on making a free web-distributed tv show this year for my senior project, and frankly, once you start looking at whats involved (mine uses actors, so its a bit more complicated in some ways, a bit less in others) it is fucking DAUNTING.
