    Windfall - ongoing thread

    Yes there was a list, and they didn't bring it up. Nor did they go into the fact that there was a kitchen full of whitenesses when that Pizza delivery girl put in her dollar.

    Reason for TV Logos and animated adds?

    I still don't understand the point of it. (I have a Tivo so it doesn't really apply to me.) If I'm channel surfing and I run across Survivor, I know I'm watching CBS. If I run into ER, I know its NBC, and if I hit Desperate Housewives, I know it's ABC. What they need to do it put those stupid...

    War of the Worlds (2005)

    The bacteria/virus of our world. We had 6 million years to build up an immunity. The aliens were doomed from the start. I knew the ending was going to confuse people. While exiting the theater I heard people saying the birds killed the aliens. :frowning:

    Walmart charging more for WS

    Checking out the DVD section in Wally World today, I noticed they were selling Flight of The Pheonix FF for 16.98 and then the WS version was 19.98 I wasn't even looking to buy it, but a customer service person came up to me and asked if I needed help. I asked him about the price difference...

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    Its not like they had built a condo yet. It was only one afternoon of building. It looked like the only thing finished were rafter like beams. Besides what were they going to say? "No you can't enjoy my warm fire and boiled water because you didn't win the challenge." :)

    Bye bye Paige Davis (Trading Spaces)

    Half the fun of the show was watching to see what she would mess up! She was always breaking and bumping into things.

Free meaning that your cable compnay can't charge you more for the HD version. So if your TV has a digital tuner your going to get whatever...

    Movies you liked but everyone else hated

    There have been plenty of mine already mentioned, but one so far I haven't seen is Meet Joe Black. People say its too long because the characters are just looking at eachother and not speaking. I say there's alot to be said in the "unspoken word"!

    DVR Needed for Olympics and I'm Clueless

    Something that might effect your decision.. NBC is doing very little of the olympics in HD this year. I think I've read only 12 hours worth. Cheapest way I know now, is to get a 40hr refurbed Tivo for $100. (Includes the 50 buck rebate). Wait 30 days to make sure its not a dud then upgrade...

    Need a refresher on XP install

    Its been a while since I installed Windows XP, so I don't remember if what I want is part of the set-up process. I'm going to do a clean install on XP Home on a virgin hard drive next week on my parents computer. Does the set-up have an option to create a partition? I know it can make a...

    Any word on OZ Season 4?

    My guess it's going to be a while. The 3rd season just came out in February I believe, and season 2 came out a year before that. My bet season 4 won't come out till next year. Kinda sucks it takes so long, season 3 had only 8 episodes and with very little extras and it still took a year.

    Trinity ( NBC: 1998 )

    Yep, I remember it. Charlotte Ross was in it as well. I remember it being promoted pretty heavily also. Too bad it didn't make it, I like that show. If I remember right, 3rd Watch took its place.

    How hard will it be to find a DVD player that scales 4:3 to 16x9 in the future?

    There are players that do that now if the dvd is flagged correctly. I have a JVC player that scales letterboxed films to 16:9. If they aren't flagged right I have to use my tv's zoom mode. You lose a little bit of info off of the sides, but its better than using a stretch mode.

    Best deal on a Tivo?

    You can get a refurbished 40hr Series 2 at the Tivo store for $149. Its 199 then with the $50 rebate its quite a good deal. Picked up 2 of them. Get them before they run out. Gene

    Star Trek: Enterprise 11/19/'03: "Similitude"

    I've must have missed the part about how to get the rocks off of the ship. They said they were highly magnetic and had to be blasted off the ship. Once they were clear of that "cloud" or whatever it was, they just magically separated and started falling off.

    ER 10/23/03

    From the promo for next week it looks like that one med student who was always on the phone.... Is Romano's kid. The look on Romano's face as he sees the student screwing up.(sorry, don't remember his name) And him always calling someone asking for advice.

    The Practice 10/5/2003

    How many times is The Practice going to do this same storyline?!? Person A is on trial, person B (usually a family member) confesses at the last minute. Person A gets off and later confesses that he/she actually did the crime and person B helped set it up that way. And they wonder why the...

    Dvd-r Mp3?

    Hmm, thats something I will have to try one of these days. Haven't yet because a cd holds about 6-7 albums of songs and my dvd player only reads -R burned dvds. If it could read +/-RW I would try in an instant.

    Hope & Faith

    I'm going to give it another week or two to see how it does. This show that just aired was the pilot, and pilots aren't the best judge I think of shows. You have to establish characters and background before you can get to the "good" stuff.

    The ongoing "Big Brother 4" thread

    I thought it was a great way to end the series. I loved how everyone in the jury gave a little diss for both girls before reveiling their vote. If any one has been watching/(or reading) the live feed reports, you would agree that these two final women are the least deserving people in the...

    Is 16:9 really the future?

    I keep reading everyone posting that widescreen is the future... that its going to become the new standard. That all the J6P's who complain now about "black bars" on their precious 4:3 sets are going to be complaining about "black bars" on their new 16:9 sets because they bought the P/S...

    Beau, I suggest you go to this site. Its dedicated to Pannys HD sets. Some great information there including a small forum. Look at the "Known Tweaks" area, and then this a section for the "Evil Pop" Gene

    Babylon 5 DVD sales and possible revival

    I would like to see some 2nd and 3rd season sales figures. I would imagine they would have gone up. I remember a couple converts on the board here.
