A question maybe for DR MattH or RonP.

RE: LIFE

They just released the Canadian tv fall schedule. And LIFE is on here (on the canadian channel) on Fridays.

Do any of you know if that is the same day it will be shown in the US? That does not seem like a good day for the show.

Yes, NBC has scheduled LIFE for Fridays at 10 p.m. Their thinking was that this was the time period where two crime dramas flourished: HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREETS (for many years) and LAW & ORDER: SVU (for a year and a half before it was moved to its current Tuesday slot).

My feeling is that the TV landscape is VERY different from the time when those two shows did well on Fridays. True, NUMBERS on CBS does well in the slot, but even LAW & ORDER had a hard time making a go of that timeslot. And I remember that the fabulous show BOOMTOWN was moved to that slot and sank without a trace (pulled after three episodes). So did MEDICAL INVESTIGATION, another promising medical procedural.

So, I'm concerned about the placement. I'm hoping that NBC might try it on another night if it fails to draw a crowd on Friday. Sunday or Monday might be more promising.

Good morning!

Another very hot (for early June) day with temps in the upper 90s. Looks like summer has arrived early here. And no rain at all in the forecast for the next five days. We're already running four inches behind for the year and added to the 12 inches behind from last year, wew're still in drought conditions.

After I get back from lunch today, I'll be continuing with the remaining episodes of HAWAII FIVE-O. Since I don't plan to watch any prime time TV until 10, I am dearaly hoping I can finish the set tonight and move on to a Criterion disc tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #64 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:38:13 AM »

I do plan to watch FEAR ITSELF tonight on NBC, an horror anthology series slated for a 13 week run. I'd love for this to be successful. It would be nice to have one anthology show running that starts a viewer off fresh every week with a new tale. It's been SO long since one of those was successful.

Very warm today.

Yes, DR MBARNUM, I received your envelope today!! Very exciting. I now own my own copy of Walt Disney's ANNETTE - Sierra Summer. Annette goes on vacation and becomes involved in many mysteries and much danger.....

Matt H. · « **Reply #66 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:41:13 AM »

THE TWILIGHT ZONE was and will always be my favorite anthology show. I liked THRILLER and THE OUTER LIMITS, too.

I was very young when the great drama anthology series like PLAYHOUSE 90 and THE UNITED STATES STEEL HOUR and STUDIO ONE were regular features on TV. In the past decades, I have watched many of those shows' most famous broadcasts on kinescopes.

I do remember Loretta Young's anthology show with a little more clarity and always liked it (and her).

Sorry about the continuing troubles with your Sylvania TV, DR JMK. I would be out of my mind with frustration were that to happen to me.

My best friend John has been having trouble with his three and a half year old Toshiba (it's a rear projection model). After three service calls to attempt to fix it via various means, it seems they feel something else is wrong (main circuit board) and he's in the market to just junk it and buy something new. He had bought two projection lamps for it that he's going to try to sell on Ebay to attempt to salvage some of his money, but I think that TV is a lost cause.

Nope, although there were a couple of those, too. This is a Whitman book....I think it originally sold for 49 cents.

There were others that featured The Lennon Sisters and some other popular television shows of the time.

Yes, I recall it and Lloyd Bridges had an anthology show, too. Neither lasted very long, I don't think.

bk - As for Cubby Bernstein and Xanadu... Well, yes, it's basically a joke, but it's a joke in the way that Xanadu was considered a joke when it was first announced as a stage property.

And Xanadu is not the only show campaigning for the Tony.

*I also think that "they" know that Xanadu doesn't have a chance for the Best Musical Tony up against In The Heights and Passing Strange. I'm looking it at as a very clever and funny way to drum up some more business in general - which it needs. In the meantime, I look forward to the remaining episodes - they make me laugh.

Well, if the Virgin Megastore space goes the way of the rest of Times Square, most likely, another hotel. $:-\$
