"Three Men and Adena"...although I was a heretic and said "Out of Gas" is as good as "Three Men..." But it converted me from FF-dislike.

I am told Allyson similarly hated MIAHM, and I'm only sorry I missed examples of her fulminating rage.

I've never quite been able to articulate my Moon rage. There's the part where I temper it because it was afterall a different time, and so I try and think of Wyoh as Uhura as the telephone operator in the miniskirt and go go boots. She was hot, but she was still the receptionist.

But Wyoh was more of a silly giggly junior high student/walking phone sex commercial, and Uhura did have some dignity.

I think that's what I wish most for Tim's characters in the movie, a bit of dignity.

Pardon me if this is posted elsewhere, but I thought it on topic. I just received the newest Entertainment Weekly magazine, and they have a blurb at the bottom of page 20, about the screening of the "unaired" Wonderfalls episodes at the Knitting Factory in L.A. on June 18th and July 23rd. For those lucky few who are going, remember that the rest of us will be sitting at home eating comfort food and wishing you were dead because of our insane jealousy.

Has there been anymore news about DVDs recently, or are we still in the "likely, but they need to sort out cheaper music - keep making noise" phase?

Just wonderin'

Oh, I've been scooped by Lincoln! He forgot to mention the use of the phrase "Wonderfalls fans, activate!"

And EW also had a ratings summary. Wonderfalls scored a 3.6, tying with Luis and Forever Eden (on Thursdays).

But! Here are all the shows it beat:

Tarzan, One Tree Hill, Half and Half, All of Us, The Parkers, Enterprise, Steve Harvey's Big Time, Superstar USA (Tuesday), High School Reunion, Superstar USA (Monday), One on One, Grounded for Life, Forever Eden (Friday), The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, All About the Andersons, Like Family, What I Like About You, Smallville: Beginnings, The Help, I'm Still Alive, Rock Me Baby, Jake 2.0, UPN's Movie Friday, Run of the House, The Mullets, Game Over.

So, well, uh, that's not very heartening. Even though the show's better than all of those shows put together.

It looks like they're trying to screen a couple of eps at Comic Con in San Diego, as well.

Oh, I've been scooped by Lincoln! He forgot to mention the use of the phrase "Wonderfalls fans, activate!"

I'd just like to clarify that it was that I neglected to ...not forgot to. And I apologize for that obvious gaffe.

I'm thinking my first tag should be "P-Cow scooper extraordinaire"

...wait...that doesn't sound right.

They're working on replacing the songs now. It's all shaping up very quickly, apparently.

They're still sorting out the Comic Con thing, but they want to show "Lovesick Ass" and "Cocktail Bunny" (the same episodes they plan to show at The Knitting Factory's June screening).

There's an article in Bitch (No. 24 I think) about product placement and promotion on tv. In part it talks about reality as hour/half-hour commercial. I thought this part though was something we'd talked about.

""The biggest of all the myths promoted by reality tv is that these programs exist simply because the public demands them, as "proven" by ratings. It's not nearly that simple: Behind Survivor's long-term , landscape-shifting impact was the relentless promotion of the series by CBS's parent company, Viacom. To generate buzz, more than 100 affiliate radio stations ran segments, including dozens of drive-time interviews with Burnett (which folks could listen to while driving past Viacom-owned billboards for the show), while 16 of CBS's tv stations and Viacom's MTV and VH1 covered Survivor as if its ins and outs were news. Eventually Entertainment Tonight and a slew of other infotainment programs jumped on the bandwagon, interviewing booted contestants (after they had appeared on CBS's Early Show, of course), a practice that has become de riguer for broadcast tabloids and respected news outlets alike."

There's more, but that's the basic point.

I love Bitch. That is all.
