Despite a few early inconsistencies, “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” has intrigued me, got me musing on Terminator timelines, and best of all, wanting to see more.
I just watched a marathon of all the episodes so far, and it held up, so yes, I definitely want some more.
Fox really needs to pick this up for the [...]
What he said: An Open Letter to the Sci-Fi Channel by Marc Bernardin
I don’t agree with his statement that the nostalgia needs to be ditched, but continuing to fund mindless substandard programming and ignoring the smarter and far better options that are out there completely confounds me and millions of other scifi fans.
I noticed this [...]
The other day, ESPN2 aired a “Making of” special on the ABC TV movie “Ruffian”, which airs Saturday June 9.
For those who don’t know, Ruffian was a racehorse, claimed by some to be one of, if not the best filly ever. She amazed the racing world and also piqued the interest of the growing [...]
It’s a sad, sad day.
“WKRP In Cinncinnati” is finally being released on DVD… season 1 is available now. But the episodes will be mere shadows of their formerly great selves, for reasons us long-time fans already knew: most of the music is gone.
This is one series where the rock music was integral to the scenes, [...]
SciFi Channel has a reality series, “Who Wants to be a Superhero?”. In this series, people who’ve dreamed of being a comic book superhero can now do so, by competing against other superhero wannabes in a contest judged by none other than Stan Lee. The winner will even get a comic book about [...]
NBC Universal so needs to release Season 1 of Bravo’s “Top Chef” on DVD.
I became addicted to that show, and seeing today’s Season 1 rerun reminded me of why. Yes, I am faithfully watching Season 2, but so far, there hasn’t been that consistent pull of needing to watch, to see what happens [...]
Since Battlestar Galactica won’t be airing new episodes until sometime in October, it’s a damned good thing that the next best show on TV, USA Network’s The 4400, starts airing it’s 3rd Season episodes on Sunday, June 11.
Yes, I know about the 10 BSG webisodes to be produced in the interim, to fill in the [...]
Well, the Pioneer laserdisc player works great, and I’ve been reminiscing with stuff I either haven’t gotten around to obtaining on DVD, or that just plain isn’t on DVD at all yet. I even found out that someone I know might be able to realign the lasers in the old Sony player, so we’ll [...]
I guess it really was just a matter of time.
I finally bought a new video cable and spun up my old Sony MDP-605 laserdisc player to check out some old discs, and was met by an interesting surprise.
The sound was fine, but the picture didn’t work. Best description is that the vertical hold seemed [...]
One of my favorite shows, American Gothic, had never been available on domestic home video. But I just found out yesterday that it’s coming out on DVD on October 25.
The set won’t have a plethora of extras, but the fact that it’s coming out at all is a major league good thing in my [...]
