No One Misplaces This Television Remote

from "Tai-wiki-widbee":

Two Minute Twilight Zone Project -- Season 5, Episode 6 -- Living Doll

TV series FlashForward

from The American Culture:
The new ABC drama series FlashForward (Thursdays, 8 p.m. EDT) tries rather successfully to recreate the mysterious atmosphere of the network's hit show Lost, beginning with a global catastrophe that takes the plane crash that began that series and hikes it to a far more spectacular level. It's an impressively well-directed scene in the pilot episode and sets a suitably mysterious and dramatic tone for the series--well, a frankly melodramatic tone, in fact.

But it's quite entertaining despite the overwrought nature of the premise and the writing. The scenes after the initial catastrophe employ imagery reminiscent of the 9/11 attacks, urban warfare, and the evangelical Christian notion of the Rapture. What they resemble most, however, are the similar scenes in the great number of megadisaster films and TV documentaries of the past couple of years.

TV blurb...Merlin...Season 1

Charity's Place gives "Merlin" 4/5 stars....

"British television series can be hit or miss with American audiences but some of them become immensely popular and a decision was made to test out programming on the general public on a non-cable network to see if the latest family fare from England would stick. Merlin takes all the legends of the knights of the round table and turns them on their head but for the most part is solid entertainment and certainly better than some of the alternatives."

TV blurb...Millennium

Season 1, disc 3, episode 4, Millennium:

Cop: "In this day and age people are carrying on as wild as ever...maybe moreso. Regular folks...they're doing drugs, they're acting nuts. 

Frank Black: "Sex and death have comingled. One inseparable impulse. Risk feeds sensation. Sensation makes risk acceptible. We're headed toward something perhaps we'd be better to avoid."

Millennium forum...

TV blurb...Stargate season 1

from Charity's Place:

"I am not an enormous fan of sci-fi shows. I did not grow up on George Lucas or the Star Trek franchise, so it is rare that I find a sci-fi film that I can sink my teeth into. It just so happens that Stargate Atlantis is the one exception."

TV blurb...south park...Puerile and Pro-Life

from worldmagazine:

"When a female student is about to drop out because she is pregnant and believes abortion is wrong, Cartman tells her, "Abortion isn't wrong! What is the one thing that I've been teaching you?" She responds, "That cheating is good?" Cartman says, "Yes! And abortion is the ultimate form of cheating. You are cheating nature itself. Why do rich white girls get ahead in life? Because they get abortions. . . . They cheat that little critter in their belly right out of a chance at life.""

TV blurb...King of the Hill

GodmanandHollywood recommends King of the Hill Season 1: For one thing, King is less a cartoon than a totally realistic situation comedy which happens to be animated. In fact, it is far more realistic than most series featuring live actors. Even more importantly, the moral center of the show is solid.

tv blurb...Hallmark Channel...a gunfighters pledge

ChristianCinema recommends A Gunfighters Pledge:

"This is a gritty western. Sheriff Matt Austin takes on some bad guys and pays a terrible price in doing so. One of the villains who escapes winds up back in his life again, this time as a hired hand working for a rich man who is hungry for land that is not rightfully his. Austin comes to the aid of the family who is trying to hold on to their ranch."

TV blurb....Charity's Place recommends Early Edition

Charity's Place gives early edition 4/5 stars: "It was quirky, funny, touching, and always impacting. Early Edition was one of the best shows ever to run on network television, with an enormous fan base of loyal viewers who turned in each week to watch Gary fight one man's battle to change the world, one life at a time. The appeal was not merely the storyline or the mystery surrounding the cat and the newspaper, but the character of Gary himself, who Chuck describes as the "aww, shucks all-American boy." "

tv blurb...chuck

World magazine gives "Chuck' a good solid review. The show airs Monday nights at 8pm, 7central. Here's a brief recap of the plot: "Zachary Levi (Less Than Perfect) plays Chuck, a nerdy computer tech who has a database of government secrets downloaded into his brain. Chuck soon finds himself recruited by John Casey (Adam Baldwin of Day Break), a veteran NSA Agent, for espionage work with his new partner (and first date in ten years) Sarah (Yvonne Strzechowski) -- leading Chuck to live a split life of computer geek and secret NSA missions." from TV.com.

tv blurb...the office

from Charity's Place: "Christian content is few and far between but there’s no disrespect to the faith itself. Michael believes that God helps him succeed in the business world (but the Almighty is his 4th in command). A couple of “oh my G**s” are injected into various conversations. There is some disrespectful behavior on Michael’s part where he tells Pam she’s getting laid off due to budget cuts and that she stole office supplies (the allegations are false). Pam bursts into tears and Michael then lets her know that he was merely joking; she calls him a jerk and storms out of the office.
I liked this show. I was never interested in watching it but decided to give it a try and enjoyed it. It’s funny and if I ever had to work in a corporate office, I’d love to work in an environment like that since there’s never a dull moment. Rainn Wilson is a classic scene stealer as the “assistant TO the regional manager.” He’s geeky, smart, and tries to do his best to please his boss (especially the episode where he’s picked to choose a new company healthcare plan, which angers everyone because it doesn’t provide much except for a $400 deductible). The show is not for kids, particularly because the humor would go over their heads. It’s a great show for teenagers and adults despite some slight toilet and blue humor."

TV blurb...the young indiana jones

the UCCB recommends: The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. Season 1 now availabe on DVD. Costs $60 for the season; steap but don't forget, you can easily sell it back on the Amazon website - I do it all the time.
"Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" series that ran on ABC. The series had young Indiana Jones interacting with some of the most famous names in history...The 12 discs here include seven feature-length episodes (essentially two episodes each back-to-back) and a whopping 38 newly produced companion documentaries -- and on the well-produced interactive bonus disc, a historical overview, interactive game and timeline. In "The Perils of Cupid," Indy becomes infatuated with the daughter of Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand and...supplementary material for that episode covers Puccini, opera, the archduke and Sigmund Freud...The superior production values of the series include lush international locations, groundbreaking digital effects for its time, and undeniably impressive talent... in front of and behind the camera...wholesome, marvelously entertaining, and painlessly educational treasure and the best sort of family viewing. An unofficial TV series webiste is fun.

TV blurb....Heroes

World Magazine recommends "Heroes." What blurbat does with a good TV series is buy it "used" on Amazon. Most recently we got season 4 "Monk" used and season 5 "Monk" new. After you finish the shows, sell them back on Amazon and recoup 60-75% of the original cost...I'm ordering Heroes Season 1 used from Amazon for $27.00.
