* The Baylon 5 script books website is now up and running. The first book is up for sale. Subsequent volumes will come every few weeks. It appears that they’re doing this “print on demand” style through CafePress. It’ll be interesting to see what the print quality on these puppies is, because the amount of new material JMS is packing into them is astounding. (Check out the FAQ page for some funny business, too.)
* Coolest time/date tracker ever. Or, at least, it’s the simplest and coolest.
* Possible DREW CAREY DVD release?
* One of the more convoluted histories of a modern TV series I’ve ever read: DaVinci’s City Hall. Pay special attention to the third paragraph.
* Didja getcher tickets yet? Huh? Didja? How could you miss the opportunity to cruise with Greg Evigan and his fan club? And here’s a quick test of your age/genre fandom: When I first mentioned his name, did you think B.J. and the Bear? My Two Dads? Or TekWar?
* Adam believes he’s tracked down the LOST island he found last week. Don’t worry — this won’t constitute a single spoiler.
* Now you can convert your TiVoed shows to iPod Video format. Tres cool.

I can’t believe the crappy TV shows that get full seasons released on DVD, but Drew Carey, which was for a long time one of the best and most popular sitcoms on the air, gets only a tentative “best of” release? That SUCKS!!

I’m with you, Tom. Critics like to think of DREW CAREY as that big stupid guy’s sit-com, but it was so much more than that. It played with the format, experimented, created, Did New Stuff so often that it makes all of today’s sit-coms look like lazy slackers. (There are a couple of exceptions, obviously, but not many.) Sure, the last season was majorly disappointing, but that shouldn’t detract from the brilliance of its first few seasons.
Thankfully, my TiVo still enjoys capturing all the reruns of the series for me, so there’s always once to watch if I so wish.
