Several years ago, I posted about one of my favorite TV shows, “Century City”. A legal drama set about 30 years in the future, the show boasted a tremendous cast (including Ioan Gruffud of Fantastic Four and Amazing Grace and Nestor Carbonell of The Tick and Dark Knight), a fine SFX budget, and terrific writing. It was true science fiction, using inventive ideas for future technologies as a springboard for telling compelling human dramas.

Unfortunately, it didn’t catch on and it left the air without even broadcasting all 9 episodes. I’ve since lamented that it wasn’t even available on DVD. Not that I’m expecting some kind of Family Guy-esque resurrection, but at least like Firefly I’d be able to spread the word about an un-appreciated show.

And NOW I CAN! It’s not on DVD, but it is on HULU! That’s the link for the show page where you can view all nine episodes, but for you doubters out there, let me start with this powerful episode: “To Know Her” – A woman claims that a man raped her by having nanites implanted in her fiance and using them to record and receive, and then experience, their lovemaking. The drama is a fine courtroom thriller just like the ones welcome all over our TV channels, except that it mentions nanotechnology. And if that isn’t enough to make you watch, how about for the ability to see Donny Most and Robert Guillaume on TV again!?

All nine episodes! I haven’t even watched them all yet, but I had to share this with you. And you want to hear something even weirder? One of the other TV shows I mentioned in that “I wish it was on DVD” post, Quark, a Star Trek parody from Buck Henry? Turns out that’s also on DVD now, and it just arrived from Amazon this morning! So, on the same day, I now have two of those TV shows to watch. Weird, huh?

I’ll give you a Quark review soon, okay?
