I’m sure everyone just has the consumer’s interest in mind here, but who doesn’t enjoy $50 dates to the movies and would rather, *gasp* spend less money to watch it in the comfort of your home? That’s ludicrous if you ask me. -end sarcasm- The outreach is in response to statements by media executives touting plans to offer movies in […]

This is awesome news…would have been more awesome about 10 years ago before I built my MCE DVR…but I guess I still watch *some* commercials during sports. Either way, it’s a long time coming. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s (D-CA) bill will require commercials to be at the same decibel levels as programs during which they play. Once signed, the CALM Act […]

While there is no good news for Andy Whitfield at the moment, there have been some developments on the recasting of his role. Personally, the single season I spent watching Spartcacus truly created a connection for me with the character and the man behind him. I wish Andy nothing but the best. Once again, I have to say that these […]

Don’t totally fall out of your seat here, as the Nielsen survey does take into account all TVs into this. Out of those users with an HDTV set, the number dips to 20% which is about what I’d expect. There’s still some channels and cable companies that haven’t migrated–we have a poor forum user who had to bare through The […]

The dead have been wondering if there really is life after season 1 and AMC has allowed them to walk the earth for another season after only two episodes have aired.  There’s a very active discussion going on in the forums about this show, albeit with some dissent among the DirecTV viewers who are loathe to watch the death toll […]

While I heard some good things about this show, I just did not expect it to last.  Apparently, that premonition has come true for the NBC show, as it will be ending after the current 13 episodes air.  The preview I saw was interesting, but not enough to make me want to watch it.  Then again, after Mr. & Mrs. […]

While it’s not quite official, CW has not ordered any further episodes of the series.  It has apparently drawn only half the audience it did during season one and that certainly does not bode well for any show.  Other than Smallville, what else airs on the CW?  I can’t think of a single show. As the network’s lowest rated show, […]

I had never heard about this show until it was cancelled, which is somewhat surprising given the fact that it aired for five seasons.  An accurate portayal of modern day polygamy, without being judgemental?  That definitely sounds like a difficult prospect, but it must have worked well for a while.  No doubt, the acting abilities of Bill Paxton and Jeanne […]

The Gates got cancelled last week, but I had not heard about it until now.  As I posted elsewhere, my wife and I gave up on this show after just two episodes.  Clearly, the cancellation is no surprise at all to me.  You know you have problems when Lindsay Lohan wants you to stick around: Though even actress Lindsay Lohan […]

This is another show I decided to record just for the heck of it and have yet to watch a single episode.  Based on the quick demise, I may not bother, either.  However, for the handful of fans the show had, there is a bit of good news… Though Whole Truth has been cancelled, there is some positive news for […]
