Not much has come out on DVD as summer is winding down, so I'm still watching Star Trek Season 3 and... Gunsmoke Season 1 : Finally, after a few collection sets, Season 1 was released in...
It's been a busy week for me. I haven't had time to watch much of anything TV-related lately. Except for: Star Trek Season Two : I finished working through Season Two in my spare time; while...
It's been really hot here in the South, and no rain since July. It's definitely the time of year to stay inside with the home theater. INLAND EMPIRE : An absolutely amazing film. Absolutely...
The Barry "BALCO" Bonds travesty continues on its course. I hope he breaks the record soon, just to get it over with, so I can start watching Sportscenter again. I'm looking forward to his...
I find it hard to imagine the number of episodes that many classic TV shows had in a season...for example, Have Gun Will Travel had an incredible 39 episodes in the early seasons. These days,...
What were the first classic TV shows to utilize (or to even acknowledge) the passage of time and space in the overall continuity of the story lines? Most of my favorite classic shows avoided the...
Well, still waiting on the new TV.com submission form to be complete, especially regarding cast and crew credits. Over at FilmSpot, a mod has finally admitted that the same form there is everything...

Picked up a lot of stuff recently; it'll take me a while to get around to viewing all of it. But here's a few more things I watched in the past couple of weeks: Star Trek Voyager Season 3,...
Acquired a few DVDs in the past weeks...some borrowed, some bought. American Gothic : I didn't see any of this when it was on TV, so I borrowed this set. Wasn't too bad at all, and it's a shame...
The baseball season is in full swing, but I'll admit that I have less interest in the greatest sport of all than I've ever had. Barry Bond's tainted chase of Hank Aaron's home run record makes me...
The Razorbacks fired their basketball coach after a 21 win season...a bit of media gnashing their teeth about this...21 wins is good, isn't it? 21 wins is good, good as in mediocre, my friends....
It's a dead time of year for true sports fans. No baseball, no football, and the only meaningful event in college basketball (the NCAA tourney) is weeks away. What do we have in their stead?...
We had a script meeting for our latest film over lunch last Wednesday. Switched locations from Brangus Feed Lot to Pizza Hut (we were getting tired of the C&W music played at Brangus, though I...
So, I'm checking out the INLAND EMPIRE website, trying to glean info about the release schedule...my brain slowly registers the advert being picked up from the corner of my eye...David Lynch is...
The whole phrase, which I heard over and over again, is "offense wins games, defense wins championships." The sentence is so illogical, I won't spend too much time writing about a cliche that is...
So far, I've gotten every single playoff game correct, except for one. Somehow, Seattle beat Dallas. No excuses from me on that one, despite Romo's botched play that lead to the loss. I still...
