I called it: “Chuck” renewed and “Sarah Connor” canned.

Not that I don’t feel bad for fans of the latter, but its ratings were low enough that it was lucky to get a S2 as it was. I highly doubted Fox would give the show yet another year to try and make it.

I’m so pissed they put Fringe opposite The Office and 30 Rock next fall. Not everyone watches enough TV to justify getting a DVR. Damn you FOX!!!!

I could never make it past the laughable “Sarah Connor” commerials to ever watch an actual episode.
But who knew that a show with a girl robot that uses her valley girl voice when she says things like “come with me if you want to live” wouldn’t last long?
It was like a “Small Wonder” remake with more laughs (the “laughing at you” type).
Thanks God for Seth McFarlane. Can’t wait for the Cleveland spinoff.

I am used to the few shows I watch being opposite one another. In fact, on Thursdays I have three shows on at the same time. One I can watch via On Demand, but the other I rarely catch anymore. I don’t DVR, nor do I watch TV online.

The third show I record, using *gasp* a VHS tape.

The two show DVR limit must be stopped.
Although, a VHS tape sounds like a much better solution than my current method of cutting myself whenever I have to miss a show.

VHS?! What’s that?! Oh yeah…that’s that box thingy with the tape inside of it!

I think if I tried to hook one up to my TV, it would revolt and short circuit the VCR.

I still have a VHS VCR in my ’90s Room (otherwise known as the guest room). There’s an old blue Mac G3, VCR, 13″ *color* TV, and a collection of movies like “Starship Troopers,” “Back to the Future,” and, of course, piles of TV-recordings of MST3K.

Not only do I have a world of movies on VHS–many of which have been in shrink wrap for more than 10 years–but I also have 8-tracks.

Yes: you read me right: 8-tracks.

(gets on dinosaur to ride off into the sunset*

I guess the fact that I have movies on VHS doesn’t bother me. It’s the TITLES of the movies I have on VHS that might raise some concern.
“Road Trip.”
“Doc Hollywood.”
NBC’s “The 60s”
“Fools Rush In.”
“Three Men and a Little Lady.”

Mine are largely movies like “Braveheart,” “Camelot,” and “Lawrence of Arabia,” all of which I haven’t watched since I bought them. They are prettily preserved in shrink wrap, though marred by gathering dust—much like the still-wrapped DVDs I have (including “LOTR,” “Star Wars,” “Silent Running,” “Gattaca,” etc.).

But behind all of those are the ancient VHS tapes that my father bequeathed to me after he moved to DVD. That’s where things like “Doc Hollywood” are lurking.

Oh, you kids today and your newfangled ways. >;)

Bill will part with his copy of “Three Men and a Little Lady” when you pry it from his still-twitching dead grasp.

“Little Lady” is going in a time capsule so future generations can download the movie directly into their brains and Tom Selleck as an architect, Steve Guttenberg as a cartoonist and Ted Danson as a struggling actor can once again entertain millions.
By the way, if you haven’t seen the climactic scene with Danson pretending to be an old priest, you have yet to see true comedy.

I think I make this same rant about this movie every few months or so. Maybe more often.

I’ve seen that movie.

That’s really all I have to say on that subject.

I do, however, admit to having Charlton Heston’s “Omega Man” on VHS, so I’m hardly one to talk. True, I got it from my dad, but the simple fact is I’m a sucker for Heston movies, even the cheesy, 70s-pop-culture ones.

And no, before you ask: that is not all he ever made: there were the cheesy 60s movies as well.

But seriously, in my immediate family he is still affectionately referred to as “Epic Man.”
