Apparently, Dean Stockwell was cast as Al in Quantum Leap because he got on very well with Scott Bakula and I think the show was better because of that.
I'm watching Wicked Attraction, and this episode has a scene where they had to re-enact a car fire. They made very little attempt to hide where the fire was shot, too—Carrollton, VA, just across the James River from Newport News. The scene is actually supposed to be several hundred miles south, in North Carolina...:lol:
Also, I don't know how, but 1000 Ways to Diehas managed to get even sillier! Sillier even than Deadly Women! This last vignette I saw was set in "El Cabong, Mexico", which judging from the license plate on the car is clearly somewhere in the Ozarks. :lol:

Finished Duedliest Warrior.
The last episode was Vampires vs Zombies.
They had experts like John Romero and Max Brooks.
It's funny, the premise actually sounds awesome, but I went into the episode thinking there was no way the could make this some sort of fair and balanced episode with them having no historical references and that it would basically just be everyone making up shit.
I was right. Oh boy, was I right.
To be fair, Zombies where somewhat grounded in reality with them basically being slow humans who have full access to their strength.
Vampire where a crap shoot with them arbitrarily pulling out figures like them being six time stronger than humans, or having claws, and lots of teeth.
They also had to do a ration of more Zombies to Vampires, because of how stupid obvious it was of who would win if the numbers where even.
It was more like "How many Romero Zombies would it take to take out a single Vampire out of 30 Days of Night?"
I suppose to that extent, it was successful, but it was sort of a question I doubt many where asking.
The episode ended with a "To be continued...". Haha, no dice, suckers. Consider your asses canceled.
All it all, it had it's ups and downs. I saw some really cool weapons and tests and a few fights where it was still a mystery who would win up until the end, but they where running out of ideas by the third season.
If "Vampires vs Zombies" was their idea of how they where going to keep the show running, I think it's better the show was buried rather than become the shambling corpse it was gearing itself up to be.
So I watched more of Series 2 of the walking dead and
(Spoilers inc.)
They killed off the old man Dale in a preventable zombie attack because the zombie had been taunted by the stupid kid. But the credits didn't have music on them and that was weird too.

It probably help if I watched it instead of just compares what happens to the comic, but I'm constantly surprised regarding who they decided to kill off and who they decide to keep around on that show.
Checking out a new true-crime show, Happily Never After, and wow, I thoughtScorned: Love Killswas depressing. :P
"Investigation Discovery: Mysteries are one thing, but now we want YOU to die, too!"
It follows a similar formula (couple meets, then bad things happen and all hell breaks loose), but unlike Scorned, it shows the downer ending front and center, using flashbacks to see how the happy relationship began and such. That and it takes forever to fill in the blanks. On Scorned, this isn't so bad since the story is told linearly, but here, you're almost kind of expecting them to tell it in reverse order.
So the CW4Kids(not to be confused completely with 4KidsTV) just put up a new lineup on Saturday morning.
Now... some of the Yugioh stuff is meh to some. Depends the person.
But they're bringing back Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Nope, not any of the other ones. That exact one.(one could argue outside of R.P.M. it's the most popular American adaption, although it did severely outrank the original Sentai version called Gingaman)
Oddly enough, a regular Wrestling show is among the new line up.
Here it is, in order from 7 AM(Central Time) to 12 PM.
Cubix
Rescue Heroes
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
Yu-Gi-Oh ZeXal
Iron Man: Armored Adventures
Justice League Unlimited
WWE Saturday Morning Slam(perhaps the oddball?)
Dragon Ball Z Kai
Yu-Gi-Oh!(Classic)
...To say the least, I'm a bit happy. Especially for one particular thing.
Now, I don't know why they aren't playing Power Rangers from the start. Also, apparently it's called CW Vortex. Pretty good evolution, I'd say. And yes, they dropped Sonic X. Wow.
Only thing I don't like is that they're replaying the Orichalcos saga instead of going through GX(which means they could translate the 4th season already...) and eventually play 5D's. I see the Wrestling one being dropped quickly. We already got DBZ Kai for the hot sweaty male action. :P

Random thought.
It occurred to me that the ending of MST3K (Mike and the bots continue watching and riffing on shitty movies despite no one forcing them to) is basically what happened in real life.
Boy, it's annoying to wait for another episode of American Horror Story. Things were happening at the end in last week's episode and the credits come out. Ugh.
I'm watching at the moment. I absolutely love the show but am too impatient to wait for the series finale. I need to find a way to get all the episodes on my computer before they air...
Anyone else getting really pissed off at the 9lives Sam and Dean seem to have in Supernatural? It's a good thing Dean's so freakin' hot else I would have lost patience with the show about 4 seasons ago.
It was on ION, and I'm not sure...the logo at the beginning said "Hybrid", and from what I can tell of their filmography, they're apparently just as bad as The Asylum.
Oh man, and this movie just gets cheesier and cheesier. I just saw a bad CGI tornado derail what looked like the train from The Polar Express in broad daylight. I also think I laughed so hard it made the neighbors nervous.
Hehehe, Texas my ass. The mall they used is a real mall in Carson, CA, and the "power plant" and emergency shelter scenes were shot at a sewage plant in San Pedro, near the LA docks.
It seems that the new companion of Doctor Who has died twice on-screen already.
It's the hook for the new arc.
Moffat knows perfectly well that he's overdoing the death thing, and one of the scripts even made fun of it last season. He likes to wind up the more obsessive viewers.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Does the UK have a concrete "TV season"?
The TV season in America runs from September to May; US seasons' length also helps a show's prospects for being sold into syndication (here, a TV show usually needs at least 88 episodes for "stripping", being shown in one timeslot at least five days a week)

@ Anonus: No, we don't have anything like that. We have like spring programming and winter programming and the like, but no set TV season.
The term 'season' is rarely used here. i use it semi-habitually because of the older seasons of Doctor Who, where it's basically synonymous with the British 'series'.
@ Ace: 6 is normal for a series (in the UK sense). Sherlock is 6 episodes long total, both series combined; individually they're only 3 episodes each.

Not even the writers of SG1.

Sherlock is short even by UK standards, but the episodes themselves are very long and the production values are pretty high.
