You won't often find a whole lot of buzz surrounding this little Sci-Fi Channel hit. Eureka is often overshadowed by both Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica, yet it manages to hold its own in the ratings department. It's a very different show compared to those two, relying more on comedy than the heavy drama often depicted in say Battlestar Galactica. Anchored by Colin Ferguson, Eureka is a decidedly light-hearted science fiction series which we definitely recommend newcomers checking out. Ferguson ... Read More

You're not going to hear us report on movies very often, but with the X-Files franchise being a television show (and one of our favorites), it's hard to overlook the new movie's debut at the movie theater. Despite the fact that the new film was well advertised (high volume... trailers weren't so good) on television and the Internet (I couldn't visit a site in the past week without seeing an ad for it), the new X-Files film was a flop, bringing in a ...

With the recent release of the fantastic Batman film in theaters, Amazon has a huge sale on Batman DVDs right now. The sale includes not just Batman DVDs, but also several other characters from the DC Comics and Marvel Universes, including Superman and Spider-Man. Each DVD is marked down significantly (sometimes over 55%), plus, if you buy the Batman DVDs, they will take off an additional 10%. It should be noted that this additional 10% doesn't show up until towards the ... Read More

When I woke up at 5 this morning, I learned of Amazon's sale of the complete series DVD box set of Stargate SG-1. Just before going to bed last night, I was thinking about that set, in fact. I was wondering when it would be on sale. And then the next morning, it was on sale for the incredible price of just $117, that's $11.70 a season, which is a sweet deal. Do I pull the trigger or don't I? ... Read More

This shouldn't exactly come as a shock to any long-time CSI fan. William Peterson, who plays the ever popular supervisor Gil Grissom, has been looking for a way out for a few years now. He had a short stint in a play which allowed him to leave the show for a brief period of time. Anytime an actor plays a single character for this long (eight seasons thus far), the odds of him/her wanting a change is only natural. Most ... Read More

Today, I noticed Amazon has a few new listings for Ghost Hunters DVDs. Not only will the Live investigation of The Waverley Sanitorium be available soon, but the first half of season four will be shipping on DVD in October. You can click on the big box shots to preorder the DVDs from Amazon. The prices are pretty good. They seem to go up after the DVDs are released, so I'd recommend pre-ordering them. Being a fan of the series, I ... Read More

I've been a viewer of the Big Brother series from the very first episode. I don't know what is so appealing, but over the years, I've become less and less interested in the series. I think a lot of it has to do with the casting. The executive producer, Allison Grodner, seems to follow a template for casting the show. Let's see, we need 13 people for the house. Two over the age of thirty and throw ... Read More

When the original CSI debuted on CBS, I knew right away I had found a terrific show. Great plot from episode to episode, good characters, and even the cast seemed to have a lot of chemistry. So it didn't surprise me when CBS announced they were doing a spin-off series, and eventually another one. All of this spin-off mania makes me point to Law & Order. L&O's popularity has sunk like a stone over the past decade. Law & ... Read More

Before ABC premiered Wipeout, a lot of us had a lot of fun watching MXC (aka Most Extreme Challenge) on SpikeTV. For the unfamiliar, the series takes footage from the Japanese series Takeshi's Castle, edits it, and replaces the audio with a hysterical commentary track. Not a single word of the original dialogue is present in the finished product. MXC, which has contestants jumping over things, trying to run through walls, etc is very similar to the Wipeout series ABC airs ... Read More

Just the other day, Warner DVD let it be known that the classic animated series The Flintstones would be made available in a complete DVD box set. This isn't like some of those sets that you may come across on Amazon and other sites where they grab a bunch of sets and shrink-wrap them together and mark the price down. Warner is going to the trouble of making custom packaging and it seems that they've done a very nice job, judging by ... Read More
