    Warehouse 13 Season 3

    I didn't notice a new season thread for Warehouse 13, so .... Anyway, this week's episode (1... 2... 3...) was interesting for a number of reasons. They brought back the team from 1962, they brought back HG Wells and gave her a bigger part than in the season opener, they had a Warehouse 12...

    The Unusuals (season 1)

    Anyone else hang on after Lost to see The Unusuals? I thought it was a fun pilot episode. It set up a long running storyline in the background to go with stories of the week. There were a variety of quirky characters. I'm looking forward to where it goes from here. There were some interesting...

    Chuck season 2

    I posted this news at the end of the Season 1 thread so people there would see it. I think it is a good way to start the Season 2 thread. I just saw this news from NBC Goes All the Way With 'Chuck' - TVWeek - News So, it looks quite promising for the new season. I hope the ratings will match the...

    The flashing question mark - how bad is it?

    This morning I received a phone call from my daughter that when she started her MacBook all she could see was a flashing question mark. She happens to be visiting a friend a couple of states away. Her MacBook is less than a year old. From what I have read the prognosis doesn't look good for the...

    Vista PC recommendations?

    I have been using my current PC for about 7 years. It has WindowsME, but I find more and more that I am going to need a new PC. The new version of TaxCut is not supported. Firefox 2.0 completely bogged down and stopped working well under ME so I had to revert back. So, I think I'll probably...

    Medium season 4

    Last night's season opener for Medium was a strong episode. I was surprised of the status of things at the beginning of the episode. I would have thought things would have been "closer to normal" after Alison's solving the head case at the end of the season finale. Anyway, it was a strong...

    NCIS season 5 thread

    We finally got caught up on last season and saw this and then the season opener. I was completely surprised that the whole Tony-Jeanne plot thread was an operation. During the season I had been wondering a little how Tony could be spending so much time with her and doing things when he might...

    Completely Overwhelmed by Choices and Such

    Looking at some of the TVs in BJs that appear to be showing non-HD source, the picture looks decidedly unimpressive. Looking at TVs with HD-source in Myer Emco looked very impressive recently. Then I saw one there showing a non-HD DVD and it looked really bad until I was standing what I felt was...

    While at WalMart yesterday I saw a whole bunch of films in Spotlight Series (or something like that) boxes including the Daredevil Director's Cut. Does anyone how they differ from the previous release (if at all), this one in particular. The ones I saw were priced at $9.95 or so. Thanks, Neil

    The copies of the Director's cut of Daredevil at BJs have a sticker on them talking about savings on FOX DVDs inside. I haven't seen the DVD anywhere else, but I presume the coupons might be in all copies. Anyway, I am interested in knowing what the coupons inside are for. Thanks, Neil

    I just placed an Amazon order and after placing it did not see an opportunity to "Share the Love." Does anyone know if this is just a small glitch or are they phasing the promotion out? I also had less items in my Share the Love list than I expected. I also didn't see the A9 piece of the...

    Star Trek TOS - box set

    I noticed that DVD Price Search now has the box set of all 3 seasons of Star Trek TOS listed. From reading at TV Shows on DVD, it seems it will be coming out December 14 along with the 3rd season (same time as LOTR: ROTK extended edition). Seems to be a very expensive day. Anyway, they currently...
