I noticed this morning that some of the Trek seasons are on a huge discount right now. They’re normally around $100 or $110 or so, but now they’re around $50-60. Don’t know if this is permanent or not, so if you’re at all intrested, I’d jump on it now. Hopefully they do this with other […]
Back to the Vortex by J Shaun Lyon Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a big Dr Who fan. Of all the TV I’ve watched over my lifetime, I daresay Doctor Who is probably my favorite show of all time. Without boring you with the entire history here, the TV show went off the […]
“When we gotta go, gotta go, gotta go — we know how to pee and poo!”
This week, Apple introduced a new iPod that will play video. That’s something that has been talked about for ages. Personally I didn’t see the big demand for that. Since it’s Apple/iTunes related, the materials on there would likely be all DRM protected things. Plus, as several folks have said, content drives these kind of […]
…And it appears the rest of the country is finally getting it I’ve abhored the entire genre since day 1. Never saw the point. Check out this article, it appears that more people think there’s too mcuh of it. Granted, ANY is too much, but hey… Will it stop? Probably not. We’ll probably get Survivor […]
Uh-oh. This can’t be good. Not that I’m advocating sexual stuff where it shouldn’t be, but this move just strikes me as something that could be really bad. Penny Nance, who describes herself as a religious conservative and has been a vocal opponent of racy images on television, has been hired by the Federal Communications […]
Well, technically it’s still here, but it’s going to be come one of those things that will exist in name only. TV Guide will no longer be carrying TV listings. Uh, what’s the point of it then? Not that I’ve subscribed to it in awhile – it’s been many years. But isn’t a magazine called […]
James Doohan, who is probably best known for his role of Scotty on Star Trek, died today at the age of 85. There’s an obituary story up on CNN here. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s awhile back, and was in declining health for awhile. If you bought the third season box set for the original […]
I read this story this morning, and it signals to me the end of ESPN. Why? The article talks about having “less games”, and more original movies and series. That’s the exact path MTV started down ages ago, and now they’re completely irrelevant. Their name has nothing to do with their programming. If ESPN starts […]
I’ve been a TiVo owner for ages. I’ve loved my TiVo for ages. I still love it even though it’s been sucked up and probably left out to dry by DirecTV. But that’s a gripe for another session. I read a pretty interesting article this afternoon talking about how TiVo (the company) can save itself. […]
