  A heads up....

  The staff recently made it so that Level 1 newbies can submit...and now the down side of this emerges. I just had a submission for an ep in my guide that is recapped from a level 1- 0 % member who changed nothing but mentions in comments that he/she wants to see the series and episode.

  So, for those who think this change is a good idea, keep this in mind when new eps start rolling out of popular shows...sigh....

  A Kung Fu legend passes...

  Sad to hear that David Carradine, star of Kung Fu and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues as well as the Kill Bill movies and a large number of other shows/movies, was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room today. David was 72.

  I think the best way to describe his acting style was relaxed and laid back. He seemed to have a wry sense of humor even as he was in an intense action/drama scene.

  RIP David...you will be missed.

  Talking TV and other stuff....

  - Hi, everybody! Hope everything is going well for the start of the week....round here, it's still sorta cool and wet spring type weather...it's not bad, though, compared to the hot and humid stuff soon to come.

  - Well, the upfront stuff is being announced for the coming fall TV season and a few surprises will be happen here and there. Dollhouse got renewed by Fox but given the budget cutbacks, lousy time slot and its lead in show is a comedy(!), I'll be surprised if it gets all the way thru a second season. Shows that have me interested that are new/sorta new: Day One, V (remake of the 80's series that was huge as a mini-series but was very weak in its lone season afterwards) and The Bridge (another CTV/CBS joint show). I'm sure they'll be other shocks and surprises as the schedules roll out this week.

  - Guide wise, finished recapping Season 1 of King of Kensington (3 eps unavailable for music copyrights) and have a few left for Season 2. Next, recapping a few shows I've just not had time to get done (recorded but stored for free time, whatever that is... )

  - One thing I have been doing is checking the New Shows section here at the site fairly regularly...some kinda odd stuff popping up. Mind you, I also saw one show that has been announced as a pilot for one network that already has an editor in place without any eps listed. Ahhh, the dedication of some people these days even with the need to attain 80 CP's to get the honour...it really is, well, hard to put into words...

  - That's bout all...as for me, watching Season 6 of Mission Impossible on DVD...I really like the show but the sixth season had far too many criminal syndicate plots. A lot of shows tend to get like that when they pass their expiration date.......take care, everybody!

  I miss my friend.
