The Netflix shipping issue was much publicized but it didn't delay anthing for me and they issued me a small credit. Netlix has done a great service for me for nearly 5 years now, and they are the only game in town keeping BB on their toes IMHO. I feel like I get my money's worth from Netlix, BB...

I have been debating the same question for about three weeks now, while also throwing in a third possibility of waiting until 2009 and getting a 50"/1080p. My viewing distance is also 10 feet, and I have pretty firmly decided on a Panasonic Plasma. After some online research and trips to...

I haven't bought one yet but I have been researching the heck out of them and the Panasonic Plasmas seem to be the best bang for the buck in Plasmas. Sears has the Panasonic TH-50PX75U (720p) on sale for $1,599 right now, and all 50" sets are $250 off if you buy it with their store card. This...

I spent some time watching a $7,500, 1080p, 60" Pioneer Elite (don't remember exact model #) last night at the store and I have to say I am somewhat glad I cannot afford it. The picture is so fantastic that I might not ever get off the couch. The Panasonics are a close second, but the Pioneer...

My brother-in-law ran into them at a gym in Austin sometime within the last year. They must be in shape!

I have a friend that is in the wine business that travels nationally. He moved his business and family from San Francisco back to Denver so he could spend more time with them. He says it is pretty easy for him to make 10AM meetings in Napa flying out of the Denver airport. It is also easier on...

I am really looking forward to it as well. I think all good film and TV starts with good writing and I think Sorkin is the master as well. I was big fan of West Wing. I never caught Sports Night when it aired but I have recently been catching the series through my Netflix account. It is...

It will be very interesting how they will overcome this betrayal of Irina's. Just when you thought she had gone completely on the dark side, and that she would never come back she sends Syd a hopeful encoded message. Somehow later this season or next she is going to come back and say she had to...

A much better episode than last weeks. A bummer we won't see a new episode for a couple of weeks. I guess we will see Jack's rage for a few weeks. Jack fell for it all! I don't think Jack and Syndney would have any problem pulling the trigger themselves on Irina now. Hopefully Will can...

I have had a great time watching Emmitt play the last 13 years and have been fortunate to see him play in person about 25 times. I think he is a great running back and a has a lot of class. I don't want to see him play in another uniform but I think he has one more really good year left in him...

I think she was nominated for five? I didn't watch all of it as I was switching back and forth between the Grammys and Alias. I guess she won everything she was nominated for. Congrats to Norah, it is a truly spectacular album! Edit: It looks like she did win six, including Album of the...

Good episode. I am glad to see Dixon making his way back into the story and forgiving Sydney. The obvious Ford Focus product placement continues, I don't care for that stuff when it is so blatantly obvious. It pulls me out of the story. I wonder how long it will be until the "evil...

Yeah - I do think it is possible Dixon is K-directorate - he might like Sydney enough to do her one favor (send her the code) even if he knew it would not be good for him. I do think some of this weeks episode was oversimplified for new viewers to catch up - I noticed the flashed SD6...

Patrick M - West Wing and Alias are also my two must not miss shows. As has been discussed on this board Alias does require the viewer to suspend reality - as in Michael and Sydney-- we're going to go on a SWAT style raid, shoot a bunch of people, and then fall into each other's arms and...

Great episode. I wondered how they were going to bring Sloane back. I guess we know now. I missed the music they usually play during the opening credits, I wonder if it will be back.
