    TV Series Whose Remakes/Sequels/Reboots End Up On A Different TV Network

    JAG - Aired on NBC but was cancelled after its first season, CBS picked it up and it ended up airing for a total of 10 seasons. It also lead to spawning the highly successful spinoff series NCIS, which in turn has spun off twice of its own in NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New orleans. Not bad...

    Lost: Season Six

    The biggest question to me is still the same as it's been for several seasons. Why are everyone connected to one or several other characters on the island? They've made a point of this since day one, either a fairly straight forward connection (like Jack meeting Desmond while running) or an...

    Lost: Season 5

    Past, present and future is anything but clear when it comes to Lost, but Locke being on the island side is in order. As S5 will be the story of the Oceanic Six and (AFAIK) take place in "present time" Locke would still be on the island, though the flash forward in the S4 finale does however...

    Xbox VS PS3

    That is true, assuming the owner never updated his "pre-HDMI" console. After the fall update (released 10/31/2006) all consoles became 1080p-compatible, which means that even before any 360 with a HDMI-output even existed it already supported 1080p.

    Xbox VS PS3

    There are some holes in that statement, yes, up until the Elite no 360 had HDMI output (now all versions have it). But every single 360 out there is capable of 1080p, for games both component and VGA delivers 1080p, for upscaling movies only VGA will allow 1080p while component is 480p...

    Gaming rumors

    Halo 4 seems like a given, but putting Gearbox in charge could go both ways. While Bungie obviously have great knowledge about Halo they've also made no secret of wanting to do other things, so with them in charge it might have been great, but it could also have been a lackluster game from a...

    Why are N, Sony, MS compared by units sold?

    Marketshare and corporate finance are two separate entities, as such they need to be treated in different ways. The first is indicative of what revenue which can be expected, seeing how gamers are pretty homogenous as a group (i e buying around the same amount of software percentage wise) a...

    360 to do 1080p

    Aside from HDMI the following resolutions are possible with these connections (as long as your tv can handle said resolution on that input). VGA: HD DVD - 1080p resolution and all others DVD - Upscaled as high as 1080p resolution and all others Games - 720p games upscaled to 1080p, also...

    "Las Vegas" cancelled..

    Being on the subject, why should I dedicate my time to any show if NBC is calling the shots? If they just decide to cancel a show like this, what is there to say that a show like Heroes can't get the same treatment in the middle of a crucial (and unfinished) story line? Evidently it doesn't...

    "Las Vegas" cancelled..

    In all fairness, the writers/producer have gotten mixed messages from NBC, before the writers strike it was basicly a lock for a sixth season. Fast forward to now and not only are they being told that the show is cancelled, the remaining 2-3 episodes out of the 22 episode order won't be...

    #1 Factor in buying TV DVD's?

    There's several factors in deciding what to buy, but price is a very important one. Having the shows and being able to watch them anytime I feel is another one, not being restriced by air dates and having to sit through commercials etc. But #1 is how much I like the show, if it's great then...

    Anything I need to know with Xbox360 1080p and my new Sony 60" KDS-60A3000?

    Engadget HD has a list on resolutions over component for each area of use, if your tv can handle 1080p over component is another question (if it can then at least the dashboard and games are 1080p). http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/21...ent-1080p-vga/ Component: HD DVD - 1080i...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Today was a good day, aside from M*A*S*H S2-S11 I got another delivery. The O.C S3 & S4 and Friday Nigh Lights S1, a total of 13 season sets delivered the same day is a new personal record (by a wide margin).

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    For less then $15 a piece I felt it was time to finally get the remaining seasons of M*A*S*H, only thing is I was way behind on that one... Fact is I only had S1, so S2-S11 will take it's toll on my budget.

    Get a pop-up, go to prison

    Obviously there is something more then what was stated in the article, that something is complete incompetence on behalf of the prosecution. I'm no lawyer but come on, when someone faces up to 40(!) years in prison there should be nothing missing in the investigation. Not checking the...

    Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)

    I suppose it might depend on pain sensitivity but I'd say it's not that painful, it's more of an odd feeling of pressure in the lower back while the procedure is being done. I've had at least 4 spinal taps over the years and none of these have been painful (other than the discomfort described...

    UCLA student gets tasered and no to very little media attention

    Again, this reflects on the overuse-issue, there has been several cases where cops have used their tasers against sick people as they just assumed they were drunk or high. At least one case involved a diabetic when they responded to a 911 request for an ambulance at that location, confusion...

    UCLA student gets tasered and no to very little media attention

    My view on this incident is that it could have been resolved easier with a more "non violent" approach, this isn't something new and before cops were equipped with tasers they could handle these things with ease. Fact is that this is something that has happened in every country in the world...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    Are you referring to the medias reports about this, or my posts about what the media reported? I for one see no reason to apologize for reporting what the media said, why should I? Something was said, some sources claim racist comments, I just reported what these sources claimed and in no way...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    I never said that Mazeratti actually DID SAY those words, just that media reported that he said them. As for assuming that Mazeratti did say something racist, my personal belief is that Mazeratti said something really nasty (whatever it might have been is irrelevant). Wether or not you like...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    Then again, that requires absolute honesty from Materazzi (something I sincerely doubt we have heard yet)... While I can agree that that might have been part of what he said it's hardly the whole conversation. A lip reader who watched a tape of the incident belives that Materazzi said...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    It would be rather interesting if we were to have Italy vs. France in the finals. Italys penalty against Australia was really really doubtful, sure the aussie fellow moved his arm but the Italian abandoned the ball and chose to fall. France free kick (giving them 2-1) was nothing but crap, I...
