I must have missed something. In what episode did Taylor become the town selectman once again? I thought Jackson was doing all the town leadership stuff now.

Richard, I had a problem with both Disc 1's (original and replacement) in the yearbook set. My DVD player (very, very old Toshiba) would pixelate during the "Beers and Weirs" episode and lock up. The replacement disc was a bit better (and didn't lock up at all on my laptop) so I kept the set...

I also prefer Buffy over Angel. To me, Buffy was the "warmer" show, with more (and better) humor and more heartfelt relationships. In a lot of ways, Buffy was much more about how the hero characters interacted with one another than with how they defeated the "Big Evil" every season. Angel...

Fox has been doing this for a few years now (showing the Halloween episode in November). I had always assumed they delayed it to make sure it aired during November sweeps.

Hey all, Just wanted to report that the 8-disk limited edition yearbook is still available for purchase from the F&G website. I got mine just last week. I was a little worried that the LE might not be worth the $130 incl tax, but once I opened up the package all those doubts vanished. This is...

Should Bob Zemekis even be mentioned here? I probably wouldn't rank him above the others put forth (Coen Bros., Fincher, Spielberg) but he did bring us Contact (1997, Forrest Gump (1994), and Death Becomes Her (1992). Everybody knows about Gump, but Contact and Death are really underrated...

I'm not sure why this stat is "misleading." A per screen average drop does not inform a trend on total viewership if the number of screens change. Approximately 36% fewer people saw F911 this weekend than did so last week. The movie made 36% less money. That is the figure that counts when trying...

Kevin, I am a fan of both Buffy and West Wing, and while Buffy does not have "snappy" dialogue in spades (ala TWW), it does have very good dialogue in its own way ("Buffyspeak".) The thing that I find most comparable between the two shows is that both are very serialized and events that...

I agree totally. Luke and Lorelei are not the central relatiohship that the rest of the show revolves around. Heck, putting those two together under one roof could actually ADD a lot to the show. How will Rory react to having to share her Mom for the first time in her life? Would Emily and...

Re: the demise of Fred You know, it occurred to me that Joss sure has a thing for killing off his female characters. Just a quick rundown off the top of my head (spoilerized just in case): Buffy (twice) Jenny Calendar Tara Joyce Summers Fred Cordelia Anya Harmony about...

LOL. That's pretty good. Are those "offerings to the Gods" on the steps? :D

Actually, the budget for "Serenity" was huge. I think it was in excess of 10 million dollars and thus one of the most expensive television pilots ever. Of course, a lot of that money went into building sets and other such things, but I'm sure they had enough money to light and shoot the episode...

Wasn't Cocoon one of the early Divx releases? Anybody know for sure? (and for those new to HTF, I am talking about the competing DVD format, not the video compression codec...)

Craig, McDonald's definitely re-ran that promotion during the 1984 Summer Olympics. And since that was the olympics when the Soviet Union and their block boycotted, the US completely dominated and won medals in most all the events. I think McD's did take a major bath on that one.
