Name the one show you wish/deserves to have its own card set

I have no idea what that show is and never heard of it until this thread..but post 15 mentioned it too

Apologies in advance for possibly derailing this thread but as a native Minnesotan, I feel it is my duty.

MST3K was a show with a shadow at the bottom that was a man and two robots that looked like this:



It all started on a public access channel (KTMA) in Hopkins, MN where they found they had the rights to terrible old movies and they could "riff" the movies real time.

Simple idea but definitely a format not for everyone. The writers were totally okay with very obscure references that no one in their right mind should get (but we're trying to maintain a wiki of it -- for example here's Joe Estevez's Werewolf).

Anyway today the show is slowly being meted out on DVD. First it was Rhino now it's Shout! Factory but they have to go back and get the publishing rights from each copyright holder as they release these things. The sets are usually four movies and run $35-$50. Some are becoming very rare now though. I also have all the rips on my computer from old VHS tapes.

There were two main hosts: Joel and Mike. Joel's efforts today are called Cinematic Titanic and I have seen them live and got to meet Joel afterward. Mike's efforts are called Rifftrax. Rifftrax took a novel approach and started selling mp3s for $1-$3 that you would then play over your own DVD copy so they could get popular movies. I recently contributed to a Kickstarter so they could riff Twilight live.

Anyway, here's a sample of MST3K, Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic. Yes, I realize those aren't your favorites and I apologize in advance.

But yeah, there'd be some irresponsible spending on my part if they made a card set of this stuff!

Now, back to your show selections!

Duck Dynasty, imagine the props, etc.

I'd be all over it

Um yeah...Artbox did that until their license ran out. I wonder what they did with the unredeemed autographs?

I heard that there was going to be a Deathly Hallows Part 2 Costume/Prop edition to complement the autograph edition but it never made. Someone who visited the company before i closed saw the costumes and props already cut and some prototypes of the cards made.

[rocketfan86]

I did a similar thread back in NSCF.

I would like to see the following:
Community
The Office
How I Met Your Mother
Futurama

I second the idea of having a Back to the Future set from all 3 movies complete with autographs, props, and costumes.

I'm glad that Cryptozoic will be putting out an Archer set.

[gamboooler]

Chuck. Seems strange to me there isn't already a set for that show given the type of following it has. I'm not optimistic since it's off the air, but I'm holding on to a sliver of hope that it will eventually be made.

[Metsfan1121]

How I met your mother
House
Friends
Whose line is it anyway
Maybe Two and a Half Men

[chrisfaceoff]

I would crap myself if Sons of Anarchy has a trading card set. Best show on TV currently hands down.

[johncday85]

American Horror Story.

Did you see that Whose Line is it Anyway is returning? Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Aisha Taylor (instead of Drew Carey).

Aside from that, I didn't realize the anti-me existed but looking at your favorites list, it appears we should never shake hands lest we both annihilate each other a la A Brief History of Time :-)

I accidentally saw part of a Charlie Sheen sitcom last night while waiting for Archer to start and I think seeing something so horrible made Archer even funnier.

I know I'm in the minority as the Nielson ratings continue to frighten and confuse me ... oh well, I'm sure your list would get a card set well before any of the ones I mentioned!

[hellojeffy]

I vote How I Met Your Mother cards!

[NickM]

NCIS
House
Vegas (the new one with Quaid and Chiklis)
Boardwalk Empire
Shameless

Mad Men. That fifties style is classic and would look great on a card.

[Welker83]

How about archer? I would love that set.

Soon. I'm excited for the "Just the Tips" insert set and the Slightly Darker Black Tactleneck relics :-D

[tlm2]

Definitely like the Arrested Development and How I Met Your Mother suggestions...I would add It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[danmecum51]

1. Saved by the Bell
2. Family Matters
3. Growing Pains.(I'd love to pull a Boner relic)


RIP Boner

[mcguirem13]

I would love a Twilight Zone set. You could insert some cut autos too. Not sure how many of the props are still around but I'm sure they could find some.

[realityflair]

How about Coach? I want a screamin eagle relic card!!

There are numerous Twilight Zone sets out already. The autograph lineups on them are some of the best ever.

Pretty sure Jurassic Park is being re-released this year so it could work.

My vote would be for Bones.

[jasondeanmartin]

Would love to have Law & Order: SVU and to have had Miami Vice!

Already done with relics, autos and shiny inserts. No Harmon autos though
