    Mars Attacks! didn't end the world, put it put a pretty big dent in it.

    How exotic, I haven't seen any "plant-imperiling scenarios" since the happening.

    @Hlaode: That's what I thought, but then I thought, "no, vice versa?"

    Whoops! Apocalypse spawned a film of the same title, with almost as much satire and DC superhero references as the series itself.


    I wonder if that's also related to the failed Fox sitcom Woops! from 1992 (starring Sliders' Cleavant Derricks), which concerned survivors of a nuclear holocaust?

    @Srynerson: I think the latter was a failed remake.

    @Srynerson: Who knew that Volvos were that safe? Really enjoyed the series, as short lived as it was.

    @Valrose: The episode I remember was one where they used twisty ties as a kind of economy to starve off boredom but the stock broker dude gets out of control with it and it kinda blew up into a weird social experiment of sorts. At least, what I remember of it. I was about 9 at the time.


    I also remember giant insects were outside...

    @Sunshineyness: And the giant insects were deliberately fake.
