…when you got HBO on a Box and only HBO (Home Box Office). During this time there was another channel in the New York market called WHT (Wometco Home Theater). It’s crazy to think we used to pay money for just one channel. On a side note, I remember when people used to sell hacked HBO and WHT boxes on the side of the Van Wyck Expressway. Ah the memories. Another video after the jump.

So UK show “Spaced” is coming to the states and I couldn’t be happier. One of the main reason why they were hold out had to do with music licensing. I am glad it has all been worked out. Here is a list of the special features:

* New exclusive commentary with director Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) and guests Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Bill Hader, Matt Stone, Patton Oswalt and Diablo Cody.
* Exclusive Spaced On Stage reunion Q&A recorded at the National Film Theatre, London in October 2007.
* “Skip to the End” - Exclusive feature length documentary
* “Spaced Jam” by Osymyso
* Outtakes
* Trailers
* Deleted scenes
* Raw footage
* Photo gallery
* Homage-O-Meter - An onscreen feature that tracks each pop-culture reference
* Newly updated cast and crew biographies

Seems like a lot of stuff port over from the UK box set. What I find odd is the new commentary by Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Bill Hader, Matt Stone, Patton Oswalt and Diablo Cody. Seems a bit out of place but oh well. The box set is coming out in 22 of July and will retail for the sweet price of 49.98.

Just in case you didn’t know, Today Battlestar Galactica starts its final season. I am all types of excited about this season. I am glad that they are ending it in its prime. While the last season had a few iffy moment, Overall it was kick ass. Also BSG at its worst is better the most show at their best. Yes I think its that good. So if you haven’t see the show. Go now and watch the DVDs. Don’t let the fact that its a sci-fi show threw you off. If you are a BSG fan. Check out the video above for a refresher before you start the last part of the quest… So Say We All.

saki and I have been watching the hell out of Law and Order Criminal Intent lately. Overall the series has been great, though this season has been a bit weak. I started thinking if this season was weak, what if the writer don’t come back from strike. Can Law and Order surive without writer? Look at the video above and you be the judge. Check out a bonus Robot Chicken after the jump. Damn funny.

So if you haven’t heard yet, Knight Rider is coming back to TV. Not sure how I feel about the remake. The biggest stick point for me is the change in car. Changing the car from an Trans Am to A Mustang seen wrong to me. The “Knight Industries Two Thousand” Aka Kitt has a sleek, stealthily look to him and the new Mustang Car looks Loud and flashing. Check out the video above and you be the judge. The show is set to debut next month on NBC.

Thanks to saki, I started watching the last two season of Six Feet Under. Here is a breakdown of what the show is about.

A drama series that takes a darkly comical look at members of a dysfunctional Pasadena family that runs an independent funeral home. With the prodigal elder son (Peter Krause) returning home for the holidays to shattering news, the family must learn to deal with a death of their own, while figuring out how to go ahead with the business of the living. A funny and emotional look at a grieving American family…that just happens to be in the grief management business.

While the show was pretty good, I can’t say that I was in love with the series. That was until I saw the series finale. It was by far the best ending of any Television show I have ever seen. Yes I know, pretty big claim but it’s totally the case. T

Allow me to explain, with the spoiler filled sentences below.

/Spoiler on/

When most show go off the air, if they are lucky they have an final episode. Which wraps up any story arches that has been running and everybody walks into the sunset. As this point you really don’t know what happens to them unless there is a movie/comic. Six Feet Under does something better. It plays out all the major characters lives in the span of 6 minutes and ends in all of their deaths. Which fall within the theme of the show. Also the music and the surreal colors set the mood prefectly. It’s is both beautiful and powerful. It will stick with you long after you watch it.

/Spoiler off/

The ending reminded me a lot of Bioshock’s good ending, Which also made me feel all teary eyed… In a manly way off course. If you don’t mind the spoilers. You can see both endings for Bio Shock and Six Feet Under after the jump.

Thanks to the Hollywood writer going on strike, Heroes might get it’s season cut short. Ending in December. While this season of Heroes has been pretty lame so far, It would really suck if the show picked up and had to rush to the end.

… He is bringing Eliza Dushku. Dushku will star in Whedon’s new Show for Fox called Dollhouse. Here is the bring down of the show.

Dollhouse centers around a top-secret world of agents who are sent on assignments armed with different personalities, abilities and memories that are whipped clean and sent back to a lab (”The Dollhouse”) at the end of each mission. But Dushku’s character, Echo, begins to develop self-awareness, which affects her missions.

I love how Joss Whedon never does anything cut and dry. There is always a little twist to every genre he tackles. While not the Faith The Vampire Slayer that i really want. I will take it happily.

This looks really really bad. The art style works great for the Teen Titans but for the transformers… Not so much. Even if the show is good, I am sure a lot of people are going to turned off by the art style. Me being one of them.

I was pretty damn happy when I heard that Futurama is coming back. Not only that but it’s coming to Blu-ray and DVD as 4 different movies! Oh the Joy. Gotfuturama.com is reporting that the DVDs will be widescreen. Movie will then be converted to 4:3 the spilt up into episode for Comedy Central. The first movie called Bender’s Big Score will be out something in the Winter. Check out the Comedy Central TV Spot below.

Talk about twisted cool.

Oh hell ya, Some more classic (sort of) Battlestar. They are also bring it out on DVD at the same time. I hope it comes to HDDVD as well.

Zombie Reporting Center is reporting that there is a new Zombie Tv show in the works over at

Comedy Central.

Dana Gould (comedian/actor turned Simpsons writer/voice actor) is set to write and star in a new

zombie sitcom for Comedy Central called The Last Larry. The show is about a group of friends trying to get their lives back to normal after the end of a zombie apocalypse. No date has been set yet for airing.

I am surprise there hasn’t been a zombie theme TV show yet. You think at least a cable channel would have had one already.

Aint it Cool News is reporting that Veronica Mars might be getting cancelled. Its still sort of a rumor. I hope this rumor doesn’t pan out. I so love that show.

Both the Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety indicate that “Veronica Mars” will almost certainly not be on The CW’s fall schedule when the netlet announces it on Thursday.

From Variety:

    The CW has officially greenlit three dramas and two unscripted magazine shows — and it’s looking like the sun is going down on “Veronica Mars.” … while nothing’s official, people familiar with the situation said “Mars” was, indeed, canceled.

From The Hollywood Reporter:.

   … the CW, which is gearing up for its Thursday upfront presentation, ordered three new drama series — “Gossip Girl,” “Reaper” and the untitled South Africa project — to fill the void from the departure of veterans “7th Heaven” and “Gilmore Girls” and cult favorite “Veronica Mars.”

  I will keep you posted if I hear more… On a side note…Kristen Bell is smoking hot.

and now you know and knowing is half the battle.

I checked out SpikeTV’s Bullrun over the weekend. The first episode was free through the Xbox Live VideoRa marketplace, so I said what the hell. How bad can it be? I got my answer…… Not bad at all. I enjoy it quite a lot. It breaks down like this.

You have 12 teams (2 per team), each driving a different type of car. From exotics, Imports and American muscle. They have to drive 4,000 miles for a chance to win $200,000. They drive in two sections, with a trial in-between; all the drivers are given two choices at the beginning of the two sections. To drive on the set highway route or to pick there own way. This could be good or bad, depending how good their navigation skills are.

Think of it as Cannonball run without Burt Reynolds. I myself am rooting for Team Lamborghini, Just because I loved Lamborghinis since I was a kid. If you have Xbox Live download it, or check it out on SpikeTV. Don’t let the fact it host by Goldberg throw you off.
