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. […]

I’ve been a TiVo user for about 5 years now. I’ve loved my TiVo for a really long time. Got a lot of my family and a bunch of my friends on board. It’s a wonderful gadget. Problem is TiVo the company hasn’t been doing well. Basically since they failed to align themselves with a […]

NOTE: I discovered this entry on Aug 27, 2006. I had started it back in January of 2005, and never finished it, I figured I’d just post it as is now – if it looks disjointed, it’s because I never properly finished it. A friend on another blog did a piece on “Things I Tivoed […]

Something that’s been lacking for quite some time now in this digital age is the acknowledgement of the format/idea by many established companies and providers of content. Specifically TV networks. In this day and age, the word “Bittorrent” is the word of choice for people who want to obtain things fast and quick (and most […]

In a move that is annoying, yet not unexpected, UPN has formally canceled Star Trek Enterprise. The current Star Trek TV incarnation has suffered from low ratings, and lack of promotion by UPN, but has had a marked upturn in quality, so it makes it all the more annoying for fans who really liked the […]

Shortly after my wife and I were first married in the fall of 1996, we heard of a TV series to air early in 1997 starring Larry Hagman. Dallas had ended in 1991, and other than a (really great) Dallas reunion movie he hadn’t done a whole lot. So when I heard Hagman was not […]
