Thanks for the heads up, and keeping fingers crossed that Wiki is right on this one.

Take it from an original audience participant (I can't even count the number of times I saw this back in the day), go see it in that format. Fun as the film remains seeing it at home, the theater experience brings a whole 'nother dimension to it that has to be seen--and shared in--to be believed.

Really want to see this, I'd read a brief piece on it about a year ago, and it was the first I'd ever heard of the show. I'll wait to invest in the discs til it's certain that the second series will be released but I'll be viewing it on Youtube. If it's even close to The Prisoner in brilliance...

I tried the instructions, went to my IMDb profile page, but don't see any 'sync with your IMDb account' section anywhere.

That's all I'm getting. My system is slow and overloaded, which might have something to do with it; when I have a minute I'll try sending a report, since I'd like to be able to get a look at this. Most of the attempts I've seen to clone extant IMDb forum data have been patchy, with a lot of lost...

Hahaha! That's great--I'd forgotten that Carlton looked like the ultimate 70's stoner in this. There's a Rhoda episode which ends up with Carlton somehow or another escorting somebody home in a cab, and all we ever see is the back of his head, which has dark, curly hair sticking out from beneath...

I'd love to see the Carlton animated pilot again. I suppose an animated spinoff from a live action show in prime time was way too ahead of its time as a concept back then--today there'd be no problem. Music would go on to a long vocal life in the old Garfield cartoon series, and I could never...

Two of my greatest favorites in one shot: Dame Judi Dench and Ian Richardson from the 1968 film version of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I recall seeing the original film in the theater, but I never really got into the series. I wasn't aware Harlan Ellison had written an episode.

I was a fan of this one mainly for Roddy, whom it was always good to see. The show itself was hampered by a fairly visible low budget, and the scripts varied pretty sharply in quality from one episode to the next. But if it had been given time, I think it might have been a fairly successful...

...Or: "Rumours of my talent have been greatly exaggerated."

"Just so you know, I got this God thing down. Bigly."

I think it's something of a combination of the two. The necro-porn genre of police procedural has become such a staple that I'm bound to think that aspect of it constitutes a huge part of the drawing power. The dumbed-down aspect certainly helps, but then again, there's barely any genre on...

As a theory, I love it. I'd give a necessary limb to be able to go back in time and watch him chuckling to himself over the notion of all those suckers, centuries down the road, still trying to prove this was Jesus' honest-to-God (pardon the pun) 'burial shroud'.

I used to think Joe Mantegna was a decent actor before CM, but he's pure salted ham in this. I don't know why this show is so popular--the over-acting is horrible, the 'plots' are the same story every week, and no cliche is left unturned at least several times throughout every episode. But it...

The one thing that makes me doubt this is that, despite the attempts to create a three-dimensional generated image of the 'figure', I've read numerous times that the anatomical proportions would be all wrong if this had been a living body--knees in the wrong place and things like that. Da Vinci...

This show is really inspired lunacy--I just heard of it about a year ago myself, found a few episodes on youtube, and immediately had to go and buy the entire series. Hilarious mashup of 80's glitzy US nighttime soap operas (Dallas in particular) and Masterpiece Theater-style 'trouble at t'mill'...

I'm surprised Graham never referred to himself as a Time Lord when playing Tom in Waiting for God. Funny how many of these actors turn up again and again. I was just watching one of the old BBC Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries last night, and who should it feature but Paul Darrow as the bad guy. He...

I like Mariska too. Good, solid female role-model, not that frequently seen on broadcast tv these days. I used to appreciate the fact that the writers (and probably she and Chris Meloni too) resisted the easy temptation of pushing Olivia and Elliot into bed back in the early days of the show. I...

You sound a bit like me with the Law & Order: SVU series. It was a guilty pleasure from square one, but in the early seasons I found the stories, with their frequent last-minute 'twists' to be pretty fun. The show started to tank for me when the scripts began to be more and more about the...
