As you know, with the expected demise of HD DVD, studios that were on that bandwagon are switching over to Blu-ray. Here's what Universal has in mind, including "Heroes: Season Two" on Aug. 26 and the Brendan Fraser "Mummy" and two sequels on July 22. …
Is this enough to get you through until the show comes back in the fall? No. But it sounds interesting — lots of Wendy & Lisa, Iggy, Dylan, Jesus and Mary Chain. Full announcement after the jump.
If I only had a brain …
It wasn't far into the episode before I began thinking that it looked like a bad daytime soap opera — lots of expository and revelatory dialogue, often delivered in closeup as if being addressed directly to the camera. This was not good.
Goodness, gracious, great episode.
Regular readers here know that I have seen a lot of missteps in the second season of "Heroes." Monday's telecast was not one of them. It may, in fact, be the best episode of the season …
It wasn't a crazy weekend, just one of those where I was busy when I felt like blogging, and tired when I wasn't busy. Did some shopping, went to the Akron tree festival (which was too cramped into its space), a little work, some family business.
But let's have a cheery note or two. I've been getting the occasional letter asking about "Hold on Tight" in the Honda commercial, so for grins here's Electric Light Orchestra/ELO doing the song:
And, since I have now stuck "Monday Monday" in my brain, here's a little video of the Mamas and the Papas:
I have done some TV watching that does not involve YouTube. Will get to "Friday Night Lights" a little later today, I expect, and describe both my joy when watching Smash's mom and my dismay over the separate paths being taken by Saracen and Julie. Caught up with the last couple of weeks of "Heroes" over the weekend, and will have something to say after tonight's telecast.
Also saw "The Amazing Race," which was fine but does not call for extended comment — just a brief acknowledgment that once again the show has revealed how there are still Ugly Americans, sneering at the way others have to live.
Maybe it's the Broadway geek within, but to have Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Greene singing together on "Pushing Daisies" was simply a kick.
By the way, Ann V. in the comments below noted that it was a They Might Be Giants song. (News to me. But if you want to talk about the new Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration, I'm ready.) So here's a video of They Might Be Giants' version …
And, since I'm in a full video frenzy, here's the "Pushing Daisies" version:
Getting back to the actual TV show, it continues to improve, once again going into the emotional territory involving its core gimmick …
Monday is beginning to look more and more like a night to catch up on reading …
Kind of a blah episode, with blah spoilers after the jump …
A few words about tonight's telecast, after the jump …
Returned tonight. Notes from the telecast after the jump, so wait until you have watched …
(No big hint here. I just like Ando.)
DVD completed, enthusiasm diminished …
Tonight we got through three more episodes: "Run," "Unexpected" and "Company Man." At first I thought we had hit a slump …
The casting news first: Kristen Bell of Veronica Mars is joining the show. Full announcement after the jump…
