Before DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES tonight, I'll likely watch one of my Blu-rays for fun. Which one will depend on how much time I have. I'd like to watch 2001, BLADE RUNNER, or THE WILD BUNCH all of which I have on Blu-ray, but how much time I have will determine which one I watch.

I tried to watch SKIDOO as well....couldn't get much past 20 minutes, although noticing it was p/s - I don't see how letterbox could improve the performances or story....whew!

Watched GREAT TELEVISION SERIES last night on PBS. Nothing new offered, but some interesting photos and interviews. Andy Griffith is scary looking with some new plastic surgery.

They went from THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW to THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, and only in passing mentioned THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES and its spin offs as shows where the people were laughed at, and not much worthy of discussion.

They talked about how the DICK VAN DYKE SHOW started with some very low ratings but then picked up and the show was a success. Never once did they mention that in its first season DVDS followed THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES (the number one show on TV) and preceded the US STEEL HOUR.....it lost most of the HILLBILLIES audience.

For 1963, it still followed HILLBILLIES but was the lead in to THE DANNY KAYE SHOW, and so most of the audience of HILLBILLIES decided to stay tuned and wait for KAYE, and discovered that VAN DYKE was actually a great show.

Sad that they don't even acknowledge that the key to the show's survival at first was its time slot.

Guess I'll head down now and get the laundry ready for washing. Then, I'll be looking for something to prepare for lunch.

DR JOSE you were probably the talk of the ride home for the family you spoke to.

Imagine how surprised they will be when you show up on the Tony Awards Broadcast.

TOD:

What show did you discover while waiting for another show to start?

The Dick Van Dyke Show for me.

For me it was DOCTOR WHO... I was watching ARE YOU BEING SERVED? on the local public telly stateion.... and the first doctor I saw was none other than Peter Davison who was on ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL earlier in the evening.

I really dont recall other shows at the moment so I will have to ponder it a bit.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 06, 2008, 09:20:30 AM »

I saw the ending of SWEENEY TODD - I enjoyed the movie....didn't like HBC as Mrs. Lovett, but it was just a different interpretation than I am used to.

I REALLY missed the way the stage show opens and closes.....although I know that a MOVIE is a different animal.

The last five minutes are pretty horrifying - although knowing the details of the fate of one character certainly puts a stamp on that! I just missed the wrap up of Toby - and the last moment....

BUT I enjoyed the movie very much.

Good more-or-less morning, everyone! I also slept late, uncharacteristically. Late start, but so what? It's SUNDAY!
I'm doing laundry and some other household chores.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #52 on:** January 06, 2008, 09:58:17 AM »

Since it is nice out today, I think I will toddle over to one of the coffee shops in this part of Fargo for a bit. I also need to get groceries....

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #53 on:** January 06, 2008, 09:59:24 AM »

Sometimes it is good to sleep late...

During the school term, I usually dont get up until around 9 or 10 am. Then again, I also work until midnight...

Qusasi TOD:
I discovered Dame Edna late one night on PBS. I think another show had just ended, rather than waiting for a show to start. But imagine my surprise! I was glued to the set, as they say.

...the idea of someone living forever seems to have been around for a while.

Torchwood, and Captain Jack, anyone?

Quote

I remember a series called THE IMMORTAL many years ago.

Ah, yes, Ben Richards (Christopher George, who looked great in a Playgirl spread (do not click if easily offended)), the far more likely father of Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) in Heroes. Presuming characters outlive their respective television series, of course.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #56 on:** January 06, 2008, 10:02:00 AM »

In any case...

After getting out of bed, I turned on the TV and came across the aforementioned PBS series "Pioneers of Television" - Thank you, DR JRand.

And as DR JRand has mentioned - and as I've discovered after Googling some reviews - there is a lot of "good", but not so much "bad" presented. It's very nostalgic, if not necessarily real. However, they chose some great clips, and I look forward to the three remaining episodes in the series:

"Late Night"
"Variety"

"Game Shows"

That can hurt! And they recommend not sitting too close when watching television, too!

thanks, der B, for the PBS shop link last night (Jerry Herman documentary). I sometimes forget about the PBS Shop; I automatically go to Amazon. Netflix doesn't have it yet. They're sometimes a bit slow.

I just really felt bad that it was a bit too late for them to head over to Jacques Torres for a back-to-back Hot Chocolate comparison.
