The Secret of the Wednesday’s Haul

It’s still a couple of weeks before the new season of Doctor Who begins here in the states but I’m in a Who mood so here’s the Children in Need charity short from last year.

And also the Children in Need special from 2005. I don’t think this has shown up on the DVD sets [...]

I can’t believe I just finally got around to watching this?

Sarah Silverman singing with Matt Damon!! - video powered by Metacafe
Every now and then, Damon does something to show that he has a great sense of humor and I guess partnering with Sarah Silverman is one of those times. Forget that Silverman’s boyfriend is [...]

I think by now we all know that the writer’s strike is over disputes about additional revenue streams like DVD sales and online rebroadcasts. Well, the news today is saying that this week’s talks, which started off well, broke down today and it seems like the strike is here to stay.
So am I a [...]

One more thing from TVGuide.com:
At Tuesday’s premiere of the miniseries at Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome, the buzz on the “yellow carpet” was the potential for the show [Tin Man] getting picked up as a series.
I’m still trying to decide if I like the mini or not but the ending of it was fairly definite. Evil [...]

From TVGuide.com:
The fate of Nathan, who was shot during a TV press conference, and of Niki, who may have died in an abandoned building explosion, are “up in the air and will be determined when we come back after the strike,” Kring says.
Maybe I don’t completely understand the TV writing process but don’t you [...]

While I had the pass, I opted out of heading out last night to see Battlestar Galactica Razor last night. The closest theater was still 40 minutes away and I’d rather have gone to my son’s swimming lesson instead. It’s only a couple of weeks until it’s on TV (Nov 24th) and a [...]

Hiro returns to the present after making a major enemy.
Adam?
We start to find out where Peter was before Ireland.
Parkman faces his fears.
Crazy Nikki returns (sort of.)
Last night’s episode of Heroes, Out of Time, was a step in the right direction after the floundering beginning to the second season. This episode felt more like the [...]

The net seemed to really like FX’s Damages, the Glenn Close/Ted Danson legal drama, and, heck, I liked it too. Other than the character of Ellen, the show was gripping, tight and full of fantastically colorful and lively characters. Both Close and Danson turned in great performances, worthy of any accolades that they’ll [...]

So last night for a variety of reasons, I missed watching Heroes. I really didn’t plop down to begin watching any TV until 10pm last night and felt no need to go back and watch the show I loved so dearly last season. And I’m left wondering “why?”
First off, I’ve gotten to [...]

House is one of my current favorite shows and Hugh Lurie is one of my favorite actors so I was looking forward to the shows return last night. And really, it had almost everything that I could want out of the show– a curmudgeonly doctor and the patients and colleagues that he hates. [...]

Daredevil: Inside and Out v1 & 2: As these were coming out in monthly format, I thought both parts of Ed Brubaker’s first Daredevil story ran a bit long. Now reading them in the collected formats, both were no where near long enough. I don’t know if it would have worked monthly [...]

So, the new fall season officially kicked off last night. The Simpsons wasn’t bad but The Family Guy’s Star Wars Special fell flat other than a few good jokes. I don’t know many people who would be as amused as I was at the thought of Danny Elfman taking over the scoring duties [...]

I’m home with my son today, it’s 7:30am and we’re already 30 minutes into Toy Story 2 and Cars can’t be far behind.
While he’s watching Woody’s Roundup, I wanted to take just a moment to write about a TV show I’ve really been enjoying lately, FX’s Damages. This law drama is definitely [...]

Over on Scifi.com, they’ve got a page where you can help pick out the cover to the DVD release of Battlestar Galactica: Razor. Part of me thinks that as long as Michelle Forbes is on the cover, they’ve got my money either way. But looking at the site, I saw the date that [...]

TV Squad is linking to another article elsewhere on the net about the return of Farscape as webisodes, those cute li’l 10 minute productions that Sci-Fi can throw up on their website to satisfy the most rabid fan.
The “Farscape” franchise will live on as a live-action Web series. Sci Fi Channel executive Craig Engler confirmed [...]

Does Snoop spell “Dog” with one or two “g”s?
Somehow HBO’s ENTOURAGE has become one of my favorite sitcoms on TV right now. I’ll write more about why later on but, with the latest season underway, the guest-stars have been popping up all over the tv screen. Last nights episode had Snoop Dogg (two [...]

Series 3 of Doctor Who begins here in the states tonight thanks to Sci-Fi. Starting at 7pm Central, Sci Fi has last year’s Christmas Special, Runaway Bride, and the first episode of the new series. I’ve seen the Christmas Special and thought that it was fun but I haven’t watched all of the [...]

Kilroy Was Here is one of the first albums (on cassette, of course) that I really remember buying and the first album that I ever drove my mother crazy by incessantly playing over and over again. I’ve only occasionally ever watched The Office but can someone explain to me what’s up with the green [...]

It was the show that had a lot to live up to. Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip was supposed to be Aaron Sorkin’s triumphant return to television drama after the way (and much of it self-inflicted) he was ousted from The West Wing. Last fall when NBC announced their up-fronts and had [...]
