Lost opportunities

Why have I never seen Riot before? Because it was never made directly available to me. What situatino would have made it directly available to me? If TBS was always showing it in the middle of the afternoon so I could watch fights while taking a nap or recovering from a hangover. Why did TBS not buy the rights to it? Apparently the budget of showing Very Funny reruns all the time did not allow them to spend $120 to purchase the rights to show Riot.

Here are the great in a Saturday-afternoon-as-a-child-or-adult-drifting-in-and-out-of-consciousness-great way things about Riot:
  • Importantly it stars Gary Daniels, who, when he appears in The Expendables, will make everyone 90s action movie fans say, "Hey it's the 17th biggest action draw of the 90s! I'm so glad he's in this movie and not Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal!"
