A really cool eye-opening video has appeared on youtube highlighting some of the pieces of animation Disney have recycled over the years. Its quite something and well worth watching (credit to yahoo news for reporting this).

The original CSI is coming to an end with a 2 hour special. William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger will be back which is so cool, the show was never the same without Gil, got worse without Catherine, Brass left last year and now George Eads has gone. DB Russell is great and has dragged it back to a watchable level but the show should have been stopped a few years back.DB will move to ‘CSI: Cyber’, another spin-off.
I quit watching that a coupla years before Peterson left and didn’t even know Hegenberger followed, but wouldn’t have missed her; I thought she was a terrible actress. Or at least bad in that role. Your opinion may differ.
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Offline I’d agree that Hegenberger isnt a great actress but i liked her role, its certainly worse without her. If i went by how good the acting is or the plot-lines i’d never have watched it past 4 episodes.

Offline The first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest is on BBC 3. And i thought the songs from the main show were bad.
I should be doing other things but i had 38 unread posts on here. 38 in one damn day.

Offline I wasn’t a fan per se of the original CSI, but some of the character development was interesting, given the good acting of most of the cast; but the obsession of the producers and scriptwriters to churn out their brand of police procedural (with ridiculously envelope-pushing gratuitous gore) turned me off.
The latent potential of the show was nicely elicited by the sure hand of guest director Quentin Tarantino for a 2-hour special in May of 2005, with the amusing back story of Marg Helgenberger’s shadowy real father, played by veteran actor Scott Wilson (who started his film career with a bang in 1967 in two big movies — playing the white racist murderer in In the Heat of the Night, and the murderer-partner of Robert Blake in In Cold Blood). In this Tarantino episode, Wilson is a Vegas casino maven who has underworld connections his daughter (out of wedlock) Marg can never pin down. In Tarantino’s imagination, Marg’s father hobnobs with celebrity legends — including Tony Curtis, Frank Gorshin, and John Saxon. One long scene where they’re all just sitting around in a diner schmoozing is priceless.

That 2-parter was the only episode I really liked.

Offline I’ve finished watching Day Break; its ratings were so poor that the TV show was cancelled after two seasons… Well, people were right, it’s a mediocre TV show and I don’t recommend it to anybody although its premise (a man living the same day over and over again) is interesting.
I’m currently watching (for the fourth time?) the 1984-1994 Granada (UK) TV series Sherlock Holmes, with the wonderful Jeremy Brett as the main character. I do recommend this show to all of you. He’s the best Sherlock Holmes I’ve seen so far.

I LOVE that show!!!! I agree, Jeremy Brett’s Holmes is absolutely brilliant. And I love the theme music

Offline I watched some of those ITV Sherlock Holmes stories and couldnt stop laughing. Jeremy Brett was good but everything else was hilariously bad (‘The Hounds of the Baskervilles’ being of the funniest things i’ve seen in years); like watching the old ‘Doctor Who’ episodes, they just havent aged well.

Offline Jeremy Brett is certainly a good actor, but his whole persona is taking Sherlock Holmes away from the methodical Spock-like rational detective to something oddly quirkier and darker, which kind of annoys me. I don’t mind Sherlock Holmes experiments that have been done Now And Then as one-offs — my favorite being the 1988 movie Without a Clue, in which Michael Caine plays an alcoholic imbecile Sherlock Holmes taking all the credit for the real genius, Watson played by a self-effacing Ben Kingsley — but not as an extended series.

Offline There’s a new take on Holms out in a few days. A movie cunningly called ‘Mr Holms’
It’s Holms as an old man……..And if the leading actor is anything to go by……Should be spell-bingly magnetic.

The last TV show I was really excited about was the final season of Psych. Before that, the final season of Burn Notice I have fond memories of. Since then, I’ve been certainly entertained by other ones I like (though they don’t attain quite the pinnacle of Psych), such as Madmen, White Collar, Blue Bloods, The Following (with Kevin Bacon), Longmire, and so many others (including: Breaking Bad, though I was ambivalent about that one, as well as Californication (ditto), and Entourage (ditto), and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)…
Currently, I’m finding Justified (with Timothy Olyphant, who played the sheriff on yet another good show from my distant memory, Deadwood, and a nice role as the chief deputy of the U.S. Marshals office for actor Nick Searcy, who played an intelligence on chief even still another good show of yore, Seven Days, which aired at the end of the 90s) to be quite well done and entertaining.
P.S.: I must add that the first five or six seasons of Dexter still remain burned in my memory as the most sublime television I’ve probably ever watched.

Offline ‘Blackadder The Third’ is on tv and its still one of the funniest shows i’ve ever seen despite seeing it so many times.
1:20 to 1:30 in to the video below is just one example.

Offline ^ The 3rd season is my favourite, followed by the 4th, then the 2nd and lastly the 1st.
I have never seen the full first season because I dislike it so much, I don’t like Blackadder’s image as an idiot- suave Blackadder is where it’s at!

Offline 3 and 4 are incredible, 2 is brilliant but not as good. The first is garbage – I’ve watched the whole series once.
