Write the Wrongs: Idolizing "The Fringe"

It was so wrong of Fox network to pre-empt "The Fringe" for "American Idol!" I wholeheartedly agree with the writer. But I knew Fringe had run about 6 weeks straight with new episodes, and it was time for them to take a break. The fact that Fox thinks they can put American Idol in it's place, well, they couldn't be more wrong. I cannot stand any of those "talent" shows as well as reality shows.

Forget Originality: The A-Team Is Heading To The Big Screen

An A-Team movie is set for 2010. But will they screw it up like far too many movie remakes? Remember Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes? How about the Dukes of Hazard, Miami Vice, and Speed Racer? Can they retell a story without alienating the fan base? My advice, stick the original story. Don't twist it up to the point the only thing it has in common with it's original show is the name. The show was popular for a reason, I hope they use it, and don't twist it up.

David Hasselhoff: The Car Doesn't Talk?




This is a clip from Baywatch. When I saw it I just had to post it. It's completely obvious that it's an inside joke about Knight Rider.

The Sexiest Green Women In Space

Green women are a force to be reckoned within science fiction, and they range from pint-sized invaders to powerful warriors and cunning schemers. We list the green-skinned ladies who make the universe a more colorful place. What's not on this list is Zhann from "Farscape" and the singing Diva from "The Fifith Element". Probably because they are more blue than green. Nonetheless they were a force to be reckoned with within science fiction.

Blame Time Travel For Kirk's Scarred Psyche

By now, you might have noticed that James Tiberius Kirk is, well... kind of a dirtbag in the new Star Trek movie. He trashes a gorgeous Corvette at age 11, and just gets more obnoxious from there on out. He's not just cocky like ShatnerKirk, he's actually irresponsible, where Shatner was sort of uptight. Is it just because he's young and immature?

'Knight Rider' Falls To Almost CW Numbers

'Knight Rider' Falls To Almost CW Numbers

I hadn't got around to writing my own review for this weeks Knight Rider episode "Knight Of The Living Dead". But I wanted to defend this show in spite of it's bad ratings. I personally believe the Neilsen rating system is a load of crap. It's all rigged by the sponsors and the networks.

I'll say this, the episode was different than any previous Knight Rider episode in either series. KITT spends the entire episode, except the last 2 minutes in the belly of a plane. While I am a strong proponent of Knight Rider being about Michael and KITT, the man and his car, I think it was a very good Halloween story. I half expected the whole thing to be an elaborate Halloween trick in the end.

At least KITT was not incapacitated by some inferior technology, although he was set to self-destruct. The part about the Dr. Graiman getting shot a point blank range by someone he could not see, and only gets knocked unconscience, is a bit of a stretch. I mean if the shooter missed, what happened to the bullet?



Also see TV shows may see post-election ratings growth
