One of my MINE articles (please comment over there): “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” to be axed; YOU can help save it | MINE The very neighborly Fred Rogers gave children nearly 1,000 episodes of his Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood from the late sixties until his death in 2003. While younger MINE readers may not understand the significance [...]

Tomorrow would have been Mr. Fred Rogers’ 80th birthday. As such it has been designated Won’t You Wear A Sweater? Day. YouTube – Mister Rogers: "Won’t You Wear a Sweater?" Day I didn’t really watch Mr. Rogers much as a kid, I was more of an Electric Company fan. Still I’d be a cynical old [...]

This is a bit of a downer. NBC let the Dec. 11 deadline pass for it to pick up additional episodes of its low-rated time-travel series Journeyman, in effect canceling the series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The network let its option lapse on the 20th Century Fox TV-produced series, which starred Kevin McKidd as [...]

Apparently Tim Kring hasn’t been too happy with Heroes this season. Numbers are dropping and fans are complaining. So he issued an apology via EW. When I love something I tend to overlook problems even the most glaring ones. I don’t know that I love Heroes, but I like it a great deal. As such [...]

at being a blogger and NaNoWriMo-er. No writing of any kind this weekend. I’m flying to California on bidness Wednesday and hope to get some writing done at some point between then and Friday when I return. We’ll see. Food for thoughts: I think Hillary crying sexism is pretty funny, but is she right when [...]

Heroes starts tonight at 9:00. I love this show. I would have this show’s baby were that possible. It’s not without its problems, but I was there every night without fail in season one. This year there is a problem. Every other Monday I have this thing at church. It lasts until 9:00/9:15. And then [...]

I saw the newest Bourne movie and it was good. It would have been reeeeally nice if i had rented number two first. It’s not a must, but it’s a good idea. I caught up on Jekyll on BBCA. I’m not sure if BBCA rawks so much because American TV largely sucks or if it [...]

Surfing my favorite links site lead to the 50 Greatest Commercials of the ’80s which lead me to a search on a long forgotten favorite tv show which lead to the Max Headroom chronicles: H-H-H-Home Page. Looks like we’re coming up on the 20th anniversary of what I remember as a cutting edge, darkly-funny tv [...]

BBC America’s Jekyll came on last night and I enjoyed the crap out of it. James Nesbitt plays Tom Jackman who, we come to find out, has blanks in his memory. Rather than simply being caused by the horror of his realizing that he’s not American, it turns out that he becomes this evil, insanely [...]

It was good. I say that with a little reservation because there were a few problems I had with it. And regardless of what I said in the spoiler thread I’ll save my complaints for the jump.
