I was poking around and ran across this extremely funny news story over on Wil Wheaton’s blog about the original Star Trek TV series. One of the things that modern Trek fans don’t like about the original is the special effects, so I saw this story, and then I found out it was a joke. […]
I love British TV. I know a lot of folks who like British TV are zealots about it, watching every single show that’s produced. I’m not quite like that, but the ones I do like I like a lot, so I tend to know a ton about them. Over the past weekend, two of the […]
Awhile back, I was shown a short film off the Internet called Tripping the Rift. It was quite funny, and it was fairly adult in nature in that it had no problems with either language, or nudity. Except for the nudity, it kind of reminded me of the online short film that launched Beavis & […]
In an event most Doctor Who fans figured probably wouldn’t be happening any time soon, today the news comes that a lost Doctor Who episode has been recovered and returned to the BBC. This is Episode 2 of The Daleks’ Master Plan, the 1965 William Hartnell serial. Any episode of Doctor Who that is recovered […]
One of my favorite Sci-Fi TV shows has been Babylon 5. For the longest time, several friends of mine in my industry tried to get me to watch it. They knew I was a big TV Sci-Fi fan (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, Blake’s 7…). They told me I should watch Babylon 5 – […]
A month ago or so, it was announced that Doctor Who, one of my all time favorite TV series was coming back. The show started on November 23, 1963 and ran till December 6, 1989. There was one attempt to revive it in 1996 and that failed, and there’s been a few BBCi dramas online […]
This past week, Warner Bros finally started releasing Looney Tunes cartoons on DVD. That’s something I know has been a popular request for many years now. The collection that is out now has something like 48 toons on it. The 4 DVD set is broken up into four categories. “Bugs Bunny”, “The Best of Daffy […]
I’m just a blog writing fool tonight. :) I watched the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this past Saturday. It’s something like Season 28 for the show, I think. For the last few years I think the show has been headed towards a down period again. The show has always been cyclical – we […]
Last night I tuned in to watch Monday Night Football, like I always do, being a football fan. This season so far (not on the field, but off the field stuff) has been one nightmare after another for me. First ESPN goes and adds Michael Irvin to their pre-game team. OK, there’s a reason why […]
One of the more annoying TV decisions in awhile comes to a head this Sunday when Fox airs the final new episode of Futurama. This show started off weak for me, but it got wickedly funny, and while it was frequently bizarre, it was almost always entertaining. It’s probably more funny than the Simpsons is […]
