Nope, haven't watched the Tv series.
I love Tremors. They were wonderfully light-hearted and very, very different from any other monster movie out there. The characters cast was excellent (and I am not talking only about Michael Gross/ Burt Gummer here; even the Obligatory Pretty Girl was a different breed from the refined Barbie dolls that constitute a necessary part of every sci-fi monster's daily diet. Hell, even the Graboids are very different from most sci-fi monsters; they aren't dangerous because they are big and bulletproof as much as because they are devilishly clever and adaptible. And it was great to see a movie in which victory comes through constant teamwork of a bunch of average dudes rather than through a lone hero's superpower.
I loved the "back in time" movie more than all others except for the first one, btw. I thought it ranked among the best prequels ever done.If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.- Abba Eban.

In my last year of university, one day around 11am a friend showed up after having been awake all night and writing an exam earlier in the morning while I had been up all night cramming for one that afternoon. We sat around falling asleep and watching the Tremors TV series. It was one of the most horrible yet entertaining experiences of my life."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

when the graboid breaks into gummers basement and they fire off a few weak shots, then the cam zooms out to see 'the wall of guns' his wife shouting 'magazine', and the military precision of her reload and his throw, the 'elephant' gun with those ridiculous shells, giving the brother from 'wonder years' an empty gun, 'STAMPEDE!!!', rock/paper/scissors for every decision!

They were absolutly brilliant movies mostly because no matter how bad of a mood you are in you can always sit down and watch one and at the end feel like laughing your face off.
1st = Beyond Brilliant.(Cattle getting eaten was so funny)
2nd = Beyond Brilliant (I mean when they put that bomb in burts truck and jump into the first hole they find and see gummer running further was absolutly priceless)
3rd = Typical corny laugh fest of a B-movie (Deserts jacks replica gun and them walking across the desert under the matress is hilarious)
4th = corniest of the corn. But had a few good laughs and those baby graboids in the mine shaft were brilliant.
Series = watched in online and was great to watch when doing something else generally a good old giggle of a B-movie making it barely as a series. Them shooting those shreakers with musket equiped base ball team was unbeatably funny in a corny way.
They need a new film it was brilliant.
Which movie is it were burt gets eaten by the Graboid but is in a oil drum and survives?if it wasnt for Carters new plot shield we would be dead

I absolutely loved the original movie. And the sequel wasn't bad at all. But after that, yeah, I totally lost interest.sigpic
