Another Childhood Classic Makes It Home

It came in the mail today. I'm super pumped.

Now, if the Gods that determine which movies get put on DVD would release RAD, along with the M.A.S.K. cartoons, I may finally be complete.

Tuesday...

Ok so 2 great shows make their way home on DVD/HD DVD today. Heroes, of course is the one getting all the press and is well worth your time. It's a great show, even if the finale was a little (lot) anticlimatic. If you can find it cheap (AMAZON) I highly recommend it. It's the new hotness (and LOST was sucking ass for a while, although it did pick it up at the end).


The one I'm really excited about and one that needs more attention is Friday Night Lights.

The underdog show of the 2006-07 season. It's gotten tons critical praise and if you watch it, you get +5 street cred points. It's the best writen and best acted show on tv right now. It's got a great price, 19.99 (for 22 "hour long" episodes).

A couple of small downsides. downside: It's broadcast in HD, but no HD DVD. They've replaced some music from the original airing and the set is a little light on the extras, but that was done to help get to the low price.

Do yourself a favor and go get this one. This show needs more fans. They even have a money back guarantee if you don't like the season. That's pretty sweet that they put up a deal like that. There's really no reason to get this.

WEEDS

No I'm not doing lawn care (you racist sonuvabitch). I'm not toking up either, but damn it if it wasn't tempting to after watching Season 1 set. Seriously, just do it recreationally, not become like a big pothead. Sound like fun? Any takers?

Very funny show that runs on Showtime. I had heard about it and how good it was, but since I don't subscribe, I never got the chance untill I found the dvd set for cheap earlier in the year. Thank god for the slow summer months tv goes through. Season 1 has 10 episodes at about 30 minutes each. Went through it in 2 evenings. Loved it. Very funny stuff and it was glad to see Kevin Nealon in something again. I thought he was funny in the Weekend Update chair of SNL, and he's funny in this as well. Anyway, recommend stuff. I think Season 2 comes out at the end of this month and ait quickly became a must buy.

Now here's a YT (YT...Oh look at me! I'm abreviating short words. I'm hip.... piece from Season 1 that had me rolling on the floor.

Day and a Half

...to go through Season 1 of Veronica Mars. Lazy Sunday...or damn good TV? Probably a little bit of both. What feels like the spiritual successor to Buffy the Vampire Slayer starts of good and gets better through the entire run of the 1st season.

Great cast of characters. Veronica has the pop culture down, which makes for some great lines in the show. Logan ended up being my favorite. Smartass and funny. There's a season long mystery arc that gets put together slowly through the season. There's also stories, or cases as she's a unofficial P.I., that span from 1 episode to a few episodes. No real filler episodes.

Oh, and here's the opening credits to the show which is done by The Dandy Warhols. Can you guess the name of the song? Anyways, I like the song. It's probably one of my favorite TV themesongs.

Jack is Back!

It's December, so that means we're a little more than a month away from the return of Jack Bauer. To help make the wait more unbearable, here's part 1 of the prequel to Day 6. Apparently Day 5 was sold early, and the prequel has been put up on You Tube.

God Bless You
