I got my first TiVo around May of 2000. I’ve been a TiVo fanatic for a long time. I’ve gotten several friends and family members to buy TiVos due to my love of it. In fact, I’ve had three different TiVos over the years, with a fourth (the High Definition DirecTV model) due shortly. However, […]
I’ve been a TiVo fan and user for awhile now – I got my first TiVo back in May of 2000. I’ve been expounding the benefits of this product to everyone that I can think of for a long time. However, today I read something that has made me wonder how much longer TiVo as […]
As I’m sure you probably know if you follow Doctor Who, the show will be back in early 2005 after being off the airwaves since 1989. The fan community is all abuzz about it, as it’s the first real Doctor Who series produced in the era of the Internet (We had Fidonet back when the […]
It’s been renewed. Thank god. I don’t want to merit the value of the various Star Trek series. I have loved all of them (even the Animated series). I like Enterprise. I loved DS9 (my favorite Trek series). I know others don’t. Fine. I don’t care – I love them, and I like watching them. […]
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 […]
