NBC picks up DC Comics' Midnight, Mass. for television
For those who don't know, DC Comics is more than superheroes and spandex. Under their Vertigo imprint, they've brought such sophisticated fare as The Sandman, Preacher and 100 Bullets to the masses. And by masses, of course, I mean the sixty-two people still reading comics.This forthcoming season sees DC/Vertigo's Human Target make the leap to the small screen. And now a much lesser known property is following its lead as NBC has picked up Midnight, Mass. as a live-action drama. Over two series, Midnight, Mass. ran a total of fourteen issues from 2002-2004.
Rob Zombie hosts TCM late nights
Rob Zombie will be hosting TCM Underground starting Friday, October 13. The first movie to be shown will be Ed Wood's classic trainwreck, Plan 9 from Outer Space, followed by another Wood film, Bride of the Monster. The movies, according to the official site, will start "around 2 am." Other cult movies to be shown in future episodes include The Crazies, Tokyo Drifter, Dementia 13, The Honeymoon Killers and Lonely Hearts. If you're a fan of these memorable midnight movies, or you just like to talk back to the screen a la Mystery Science Theater 3000, you might want to check these out. Plus, they're on at just the right time so you can enjoy them after stumbling home from a night of heavy partying, or from a night of helping elderly people reach items on the top shelf at Walgreens. You know, whatever it is you do with your Friday nights.
I'm OD'ing on Scrubs reruns
When a favorite show of mine enters syndication, the same thing always happens: I watch the reruns every time they air, even if the same episode airs twice in the same week, and basically overindulge.This is what's happening now with Scrubs. Not only is it on for an hour every day at 7 on Comedy Central, but my local Fox affiliate is showing a full hour of the show as well... at midnight. And since both sets of reruns are on different tracks -- CC is running the episodes in order from the pilot, while the syndicated reruns are from seasons one and four -- there is little overlap (though I'll watch even if there is overlap). So you know what that means, kids: Uncle Joel stays up until 1 AM just to see reruns of a show he could easily buy on DVD and watch whenever he wants. Thank God I don't have an office to go to, else I'd be toast just about every morning.
In this world of downloads and full-season DVDs that still draws us to reruns? Are there reruns that you still catch every day, even though you may have the DVDs sitting right there on your shelf? Let me know in the comments.
How I Met Your Mother: The Limo
"People often think a good mix should rise and fall, but
people are wrong. It should be all rise baby" -Barney.
For me, this show has been nothing but
"rise" as well. This episode was another great episode in an absolutely fantastic season. I say this week in
and week out, but this show really strikes a chord with me, and last night's episode made me feel like maybe I'm not
the only one who always seems to be "looking" for something/someone on New Year's Eve. I'm not sure if mine
will turn out quite like Ted's, but I'll be sure to let you know, since I'm sure you all care so much. On with the
show!
