I wasn't born yet when this show was on, but I've heard a lot about it on the forums and am dying to see it out of sheer curiosity! As bad as it must have been, it was probably a lot better than the garbage that people are watching on television today! <br /> <br />I found a website that talks about the show ( http://www.tvparty.com/emflop.html ). On there, they mention that before filming began, a model of the train was produced at a cost of $1 million. When it was demonstrated for NBC executives, it flew off the track, smashed into a wall and was completely destroyed! A new model then had to be built. A pretty good omen for how the show would perform! <br /> <br />I think that had the show taken place on a real regular train that perhaps it might have done better. Not that it would have been a hit (although you never know), but it certainly would be more believeable and people wouldn't be turned off by the sheer ridiculousness of the show's basic idea.
