Find yourself liking the first 4 seasons of the Sopranos and being disappointed with what’s followed? Consider the impact of the following and cross the line between art and business… Length of original story – I’d question the length of Chase’s original story line for the Sopranos. I recall...

No more Johnny Cakes!

If there was money in black sitcoms (from advertising revenue, of course), we'd see more black sitcoms. If there is no perceived financial profit from such an endeavor, concepts won’t even go to pilot without an influential backer (Spielberg, for instance).

A couple of handfuls of steroids and Arnold will be back on track. This guy knows how to get in shape!

So the gal who played Johnny Sack's daughter is related to some other actor in the show. That explains it. If it worked for Joan Rivers and her talentless daughter, it can work for you too!

GIVE UP, SHARON STONE!

Sophia Coppola has a style? Aside from being the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, that is? If Lost in Translation is any indication I'd say her style is quiet boredom. Exactly how many movies has she directed? Curious...

I love Ed. I get bored watching Love Monkey. Too many secondary characters I care nothing about and enough of the Wayne guy, already.

I’m not sure if our local network screwed up or what, but last week the pilot of Love Monkey aired and this week it was episode 3. At the end of the pilot Ed, or whatever his new name is, was without a job and just gave up his new talent find. In episode 3 he’s working at an independent label...

Just think, one day we’ll be saying… “Remember when TV stations used to have commercials? Now the picture is ¼ the screen size surrounded by several other boxes of advertisements and a stock ticker of what’s hot in girls fashion!” Next up: Pay extra for what TV used to be like! Only 17...

On a related political note… I was kind of hoping that President Stands With a Fist would have been killed off this season. Given this past weeks episode it looks like anything can happen at this point.

Tom Cavanaugh's role in Love Monkey is very similar to Ed, I'll admit. I'm not too surprised by this though. As far as I'm aware, Tom Cavanaugh hasn't made any movies or sitcoms since Ed. Given this, I didn't expect a network to take a chance on a role change for him. I mean, his character in...

I have to say it... Speaking of theatrical cuts being released on DVD, how about Blade Runner?!

The historical aspect of Summer of Sam would suggest at least an overview of the actual case file as an extra. I wouldn't think this would be too hard to do given the fascination society has with serial killers.

Ed is the only TV show that I would be interested in buying on DVD at this point. The way I see it, the studio isn't willing to take my money. I guess I'll just save it.
