    WORST films of 2011

    For those of you who say Conan, I gather you haven't seen The Immortals? Conan was a solid barbarians movie -either you like Sword and Sorcery or you don't. For those of us who like this kind of movie, it was pretty good. The Immortals - worst movie I saw last year. As a provisio though, I...

    The Amazing Race Season 19: Meet The New Cast

    I'm disappointed that Tommy and Andy were eliminated. I didn't start the season liking them, as I thought they'd be too stereotypical, but in the end they were strong, likeable, and religious without looking down on others. The enjoyed doing the race together, appreciated the countries they...

    Father Dowling/Matlock?

    Wow, I never thought this would be coming out. Definitely a must buy for me. I have to say that I went through a lull of now having not much to buy, but in the last 6-12 months, I've been getting a lot of new things....more Bonanza, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and now Father Dowling. Hoping they...

    The Amazing Race Season 19: Meet The New Cast

    I hated the bodybuilding, just hated it. Why embarass people like that? No need for it. Enjoyed the rest of the show though. The Legoland part was everything the Amazing Race should be...unique, true to the country you're in, moderately challenging, fun. I like this season, as all my annoying...

    2009 Fall Schedules

    Jason, I'm with you on NBC. I can't imagine what their prime time schedule will look like. Two hours a day for five days, and three for the weekends? 16 total hours? Considering that Saturday nights might be written off by NBC completely, that would be 13 hours. Will they still have three...

    Survivor: Tocantins

    At the start I really didn't like Coach (for obvious reasons). But as the season went on, I began liking him more and more. There are only two possibilities. 1. He is a fake, and all of this is an act. If so, he was awesome. All the stories and all. 2. He is sincere, with perhaps some...

    Bonanza Season 1 - some hope?

    That would be awesome. The cowboy TV era of the 50s and 60s was before my time, but I always thought Bonanza was extremely well written, especially the Adam years. I'd definitely pick this up.

    The Amazing Race season 14

    The cheese activity was fantastic! So much fun. Maybe I didn't hear the clue the so well, but I thought they had to use the cheese bracket to carry the cheese down. If it only said get the cheese down, I'm surprised someone didn't roll all four down the hill towards the goal. Would have been...

    Lost: Season 5

    Updated redshirt dead, with a rewatch of last week's episode and yesterday's: 48 original fuselage survivors - I don't think they counted the guy who got sucked into the engine, but did count Ethan. I'll count the engine guy but not Ethan for my 48. The dead - guy sucked into the engine...

    Lost: Season 5

    Great discussion guys. My theory is that it is the African slaves from the slave ship who are shooting the arrows. As to the red shirts, I've been trying to count the dead. This is what I come up with... 48 original fuselage survivors - I don't think they counted the guy who got sucked...

    2009 Wishlist: TV Shows On DVD?

    Well, I'd be happy if I could get two of the following list: top picks TJ Hooker Season 2 (very little chance) Fall Guy Season 2 (only slightly more than TJ Hooker) Bonanza (uncut full season sets put out by a real firm, probably no chance) Scarecrow and Mrs. King (a chance) Amazing...

    The Amazing Race season 13

    I'm on the opposite side of the fence. I LOATHE the frat boys. I've watched every season of the Amazing Race, and I can't stand these two jerks more than any team that has ever raced, even more than the guy who was abusive towards his wife. They have no redeeming features. They are stupid...

    SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

    I enjoyed seeing the scared Dean, but what really made the episode was the post-episode Dean/"Eye of the Tiger" skit. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Almost worth the price of the dvd just for that.

    2009 Tv on DVD Predictions

    Hoping (and not expecting): More Survivor More Amazing Race More TJ Hooker Queen of Swords Have a few hopes: More Fall Guy Scarecrow and Mrs. King But we never know for sure. Recently I picked up Riptide seasons 2 & 3 from VEI. I would never have expected to start (much less...

    Heroes - Season Three

    Mikah, You beat me to the punch; I was going to mention that Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune article. It does sum up my feelings pretty well. I'm not dropping the show completely, but only to watch it if I happen to be watching TV at 7 PM. It just hasn't felt the same since season 1. I feel the...

    RIP Jeff MacKay

    I really enjoyed his work on Baa Baa Black Sheep and Magnum PI. My best wishes to his family. I always thought he deserved to be a more featured actor. I thought he would have made a perfect Cliff Clavin on Cheers, perhaps a bit more sympathetic than John R.

    Shows that thrived, got better rating, were just better after a main character LEFT.

    "There are many who would debate you on that one. Ted McGinley is known as a "show-breaker" (although I did happen to enjoy him a great deal on this particular show - his turn as D'Arcy was pure comedy)" Yes, I know that Ted McGinley is known as the man who defines "Jump the Shark" and he...

    Shows that thrived, got better rating, were just better after a main character LEFT.

    I'm not sure about the ratings, but I think Married With Children became a much better show when Steve Rhoades (David Garrison) left and Jefferson D'Arcy (Ted McGinley) came in and married Marcy. Marcy became a bigger foil for Al Bundy, and I think Jefferson fit in well with the NO MA'AM crew.

    MacGyver terrible quality

    Not really on the topic of MacGyver quality, but on the show itself. I just finished watching all seven seasons, and I think there is a missing episode. I remember an episode where MacGyver is trapped in a store room and he lines up a series of rice sacks really tight and wedges them against...

    Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08

    Andres, I'm pretty sure that Tracy is 44 and Ami is in her late 30's.

    Would anyone else out there purchase more T.J. Hooker

    I definitely want more T.J. Hooker; it is number one on my list of dead/unreleased dvds. I also want more 80's titles such as more of The Fall Guy and Scarecrow and Mrs. King (boy, I'd love to revisit all those cold war storylines).

    EL CID (2 disc) release date: 1/29

    Richard--W, thanks for the Warlord rundown. I was aware that it is more of a personal movie than a blockbuster. I've always like Heston in Ben-Hur and Planet of the Apes. I enjoy the way he portrays anger. I can feel his rage in those two movies.

    Terry Gilliam's Adventures of Baron Munchausen 2-disc SE - 04/088

    JoshEH and DaveF, I'm happy that the fans are getting a movie they really enjoy, but this is maybe more of a discussion why this movie isn't more popular or in the public eye as much, then and now. I think this is a movie you love or hate. I saw this movie about three years ago for the...

    The Amazing Race 12

    Ken, I agree there could have been a positional change, but it seemed as if the entire challenge only took 5-10 minutes, so the time lost would be a few minutes. I prefer some of the challenges where a team can gain or lose a half an hour or more.

    The Amazing Race 12

    I've really enjoyed this season, especially with what I consider two underdog teams making the final three. Nick and Don have Don's age going against them, and I don't think either has the keenest mind. Ron has his age going against him. I don't remember for sure, but has anyone as old as Ron or...

    Magnum PI Season 8

    Kevin, Charles Johnson is the executive producer who will be commenting on the series final episode. There are 13 shows in the final season, well 12 if you are counting the last episode as a two hour movie. I liked the final season, I thought it was a strong finish. Although I would have...

    Magnum PI Season 8

    Great news - Magnum PI season 8 is coming out on March 4. A nice quick turn around time from season 7 to 8. We're going to get some real extras, two commentaries from writers and one commentary from an executive producer. While I'd rather have had commentaries from the stars, at least they...
