  • More on the Real Life Simpsons

    A huge thank you to our own Seth Gottlieb for finding the video for this! My brother alerted me to the Live Action Simpsons earlier this week, but the links on the page weren’t working and I didn’t want to post it without showing the actual video. My link above goes to a Sun article…

  • To buy or not to buy

    Here’s a problem: A TV show box set of the first season sells poorly because the first season sucks. Everyone wants to buy the later seasons when the show rocked, but the distributor figures people just aren’t interested in the show. Instead of putting out Season 2, they release a cheapie collection of “favorite” episodes…

  • Fantastic discovery at my local Sam’s Club

    For those of you who haven’t yet bought the four “Batman the Animated Series” box sets, you’ll be happy to know that I found them at Sam’s Club for $21 each. That’s $10 less (apiece) than I can get them at DVDPacific, and $12 cheaper than on Amazon! I’m glad I waited!

  • Try out for Sci-Fi’s real life superhero show

    Who Wants To Be A Superhero? is now taking applications. You have to have a costume, powers and I would imagine a physique that looks good. Now, in the past, I’ve been quite open with you all that I am not an Adonis. I’ve shared with you my hopes to get on another reality show:…

  • It’s about Time (Lord)!

    The New Doctor Who finally airs in the USA on the Sci-Fi channel March 17th. Count down the days, fellow Whovians!

  • Thank you, Target!

    If Target hadn’t been cleared out of Firefly box sets last week, I’d have paid $30 for it! As it is, I have a rain check in my wallet to go buy it when they restock. But it’s not going to be used because AMAZON NOW HAS IT FOR TWENTY DOLLARS!!!! Thank you to Mr.…

  • Darren McGavin has passed away, too

    Prolific Darren McGavin, the dad on Christmas Story, the Night Stalker, has died.

  • Don Knotts dies at age 81

    One of my favorite character actors, Don Knotts, passed away today. I know people don’t live forever, but in Don’s case I wouldn’t have minded if the heavens had made an exception.

  • Andreas “G’Kar” Katsulas: 1946-2006

    Andreas Katsulas has passed away from lung cancer at age 59. This is very sad but hardly a surprise, since every reference to Katsulas in a Babylon 5 episode commentary or interview mentions that he was smoking at the time. Katsulas was one of the true shining stars of Babylon 5, making his character shine…

  • I shouldn’t have mentioned Electric Company

    Now I have the Blue Beetle’s song from Electric Company going through my head. No, not the Ted Kord Blue Beetle. The children’s show had an ineffectual superhero called The Blue Beetle played by Jim Boyd, and he sang this song whenever people asked him to do something dangerous and/or impossible: I would, if I…
