Some of you may have read that after the latest redesign, I finally decided to take my volunteering elsewhere.
I really tried using the guides and submitting but it was getting very frustrating to have to jump from one section to another, seeing useless info like rating of stars on the cast pages etc. Having to jump to the notes section to make sure that the editor doesn't put a note about a non appearing main cast. Since not every editor follow the same rule : some add all cast whether they appear or not, some only add those that do appear, it's too much of a hassle. I also never really like the new interface. Having to click on add after every addition is inconvenient.
Jaxie said we were heard loud and clear. Okay, that's cool but that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't even mean they will bring back all the info they took away. It just means they heard the complaints, that's all.
So, I moved to tvrage.com, and I'm submitting there. Of course, there are things that i miss: I cannot add crew stuff at the episode level and that really sucks. I'd really want to do that but the rest is much better : all the bugs we've been complaining about here (teleplay, story not showing on the episode overwiew, special guest stars not showing) all that is working fine there. Submissions are approved within a few hours of submitting (for editorless shows).
And when you report something, it is taken care of, pretty fast.

So if you want info on shows like greek, murdoch mysteries, life, bones, lie to me, harper's island and a few others, I'm submitting for them over there.
Mind you, if tv.com gets back all the info (minus the bug) I want and make the interface a little more user friendly, i'll probably come back here, i'll just share time between both sites

Urban Fantasy Land is conducting a poll about the past year novels and writers. If you vote and then point back to their blog on your own blog you could win a $25 gift certificate on Amazon.

I actually didn't point here so i'm not entering the lottery but you guys might want to. If nothing else, you can vote for your favorite authors and novels.

Here you Here you go.

I saw like a lot of you they did some fixes. Apparently only Jekyll and I still try to make them put back teleplay, story on the episode summary page. And they still don't get why so many editors left and why it is not even fun for people to get to a guide anymore. Talk about counter-intuitive. I know Jaxie is not responsible, but what's the use of congratulating her while she talks about stuff that were not broken in the first place. It took them 6 months to re-add a comma and a space on the writers and directors line on episode summary pages. Can you imagine that ? And still they manage to launch a new homepage in the mean time...

So,

As soon as I heard that the dvd was hitting amazon's shelves, i decided to buy it.
And ten days later, lo and behold, I had received my package with something extra for my dad who has been wanting the Howdy doody box set since it came out back in november.
So two happy campers for new year's !

So, instead of watching the episode again, since I had watched it like a zillion times before, I went for the extras.
Well, the commentary, the Musical ! is excellent. It's nearly better than the original episode.
The other normal commentary is pretty funny and the making of are also interesting.

So if you're wondering if you should buy it, don't wonder anymore. Buy it
