Friday night was one of those nights. I hung around at home but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I’d been home all day long. I’d blogged two or three times. I’d slept. I didn’t want to read anything. I’d watched some TV, but there’s never anything on Friday nights, especially now that [...]

ETA: Okay, this is now final. I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to resist the Michael/Sara draw on Prison Break, even though I find the show utterly ridiculous and find the PTB treatment of Sarah Wayne Callies deplorable. I’m sure I’ll TiVo it and then fast-forward through all but their parts. I am [...]

flight 627: the new flight 815?
FOX has released a three-minute trailer for Fringe — also known as the show that has me almost as impatiently excited as the Lost pilot — and you can bet that trumps any personal post from me.
I was freaking out while I watched it. The X-Files wishes it was ever this freaky.
And if that weren’t [...]

life on mars — the us version
ETA: New CBS news from Ausiello — The New Adventures of Old Christine and How I Met Your Mother have been renewed; Shark has been axed. Still no word on Moonlight.
More Upfront stuff, this time via an interview with ABC boss man Steve McPherson (courtesy of Kristin Dos Santos.)
I am so excited about Life on [...]

upfronts!
The Upfronts are taking place as I type this, so I’ll be posting tidbits about next season, such as cancellations, renewals, the new shows being greenlit by each network, etc.
The following is incomplete and has been cobbled together from preliminary reports from Kristin and Ausiello:
Renewals:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, FOX (yay!)
Friday Night Lights (on DirecTV, with [...]

more movies
I’ve been slacking in my movie-watching lately. I blame the fact that I can barely keep up with my TiVo — I mean, I’m a month behind on Lost, for crying out loud. I also can’t remember the last movie I saw in the theaters.
As always, in no particular order:
16) Cold Creek Manor (Dennis Quaid, [...]

finished!
So much for using The Host to bridge the interminable gap between now and the time Breaking Dawn, the fourth — and final, sob! — in the Twilight saga, is released in August.
As is so often the case, I couldn’t pace myself.
I can’t say that I liked The Host better than any of the Twilight [...]

cm: in heat
Matt Roush and I don’t disagree much, and when we do, it’s usually due to philosophical, moral or political differences — namely, my beliefs and values dictate what I watch, and, for instance, I don’t care how well-written Weeds is, I will never, ever sympathize with a show built around a suburban mother who sells [...]

on audio books
I’ve never really gone the whole audio book route. I really could’ve gotten into them when I lived in Charlotte, because I was on the road about three weekends out of the month, driving up and down the East Coast and stopping at every McAlister’s Deli between Richmond and Atlanta, but books on CD weren’t [...]
