Sneak Peek: 'The Dark Knight' on Blu-ray and DVD {Cinematical}
Dec 4th 2008 11:49AM BD live has to be the stupidest thing i have ever seen. How/why they are dedicating any time/money on this when their #1 priority should be increasing market awareness/visibility is beyond me.

What if Heroes wasn't a serialized show? {TV Squad}

"I don't know if DVRs hurt serialized shows that directly"
How/why could DVRs hurt serialized shows in any way what-so-ever?? I cant think of any way that a device that ensures you dont miss a program each week would hurt a serialized program and am frankly disappointed you wouldnt take TK to the cleaners for making such a transparent excuse on why his show is going down the crapper.

Nov 20th 2008 4:26PM Now he says he's not sure if that was the right decision, describing those (serialized) shows as "an absolute bear to do."
This goes for Heroes and Lost... Of course its dificult when you have no idea where you are going with the story as a whole, half the characters/plots, and are flying by the seat of your pants throughout the entire writing process. I got a novel idea here for you... think out the story and a final end-game before you put the show on the air and get under the thumb of know nothing network execs. Write a plotline that covers 2/3 seasons 40-60 episodes and stick to it. Problem solved.
------------------------------------------------
I think adding stand alone episodes would be the nail in this shows coffin... short of major resolution between now and the season finale this can go 1 of 2 ways...
1) Standalone episodes with characters we already love/hate. Not only would it would be extremely polarizing it would become very frustrating to have an episode dealing solely with new issues when we dont have an answer to existing plot lines.
Hmmm... how would you do standalone episodes then without running into this problem...
2) MORE NEW CHARACTERS!!! Characters that are not only boring, unnecasary, and trivial but new characters that can have their entire story told and wrapped up in a nice little 43 minute package.
Please excuse me while I paint my brains on this wall right behind me.

Nov 20th 2008 4:05PM "He thinks that the way that people watch TV nowadays is a lot different than just three years ago, because of DVRs and online viewing and all that"
I dont get his argument here at all... If anything his his points go towards serialized shows becoming more accessible and in turn more popular. Before the DVR you were chained to the network's schedule, missing one episode of 24 could cloud/ruin the rest of the season for you. Now you can almost guarantee that fans will be able to watch the season in entirety with no holes in the middle.
As much as I am a fan of Lost, 24, hell even daybreak I think the serialized drama is not long for this world.
People dont start watching shows now until 1) either word gets out that its the next best thing 2) they have some sort of security knowing its not going to get canceled once they become attached.
By the way how My Own Worst Enemy got canceled while KnightRider is still on the air is travesty.
Survivor: The Apple in the Garden of Eden {TV Squad}
Nov 7th 2008 11:50AM I think Marcus' big mistake was targeting Kenny. Why would Crystal, as stupid as she may be, want to kick out her #1 ally. By this point Marcus should have known that Susie, that old useless hag, was either out of the alliance or on her way out. It would have been a much easier sell to get Crystal to vote her out.
