Hi Nilly!
Purim Sameach!
I have no hamentashen, but my mother just called from the grocery store to ask what kind of hamentaschen I like, so I suspect I'll have some soon.
Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah. They fight crime.
That sounds so cute.
And, um possibly not work appropriate, but a Purim video that's been cracking me up all week: [link]
OMG, that's hilarious.
Oooooh, noirish TV on DVD. [link]
Universal, Trio and Bravo are rolling out a line of "Brilliant But Cancelled" DVDs, and the first pair are coming out on May 16th. . . . EZ Streets will get it's own disc, and then separately is Crime Dramas, collecting a single episode each from 4 shows:
Gideon Oliver was brilliant but cancelled? Really? Huh.
I'm mostly buzzed about Johnny Staccato. I've only seen one episode (fate being what it is, probably the same episode as on the DVD set), but it looked fun.
Johnny Staccato (1959, NBC, produced by Everett Chambers)
Woot!!! I can get totally psyched for a jazz-noir Cassavettes!
I only know the themesong for Johnny Staccato, strangely enough.

Oh crap. I should have gone to the link - I thought they were putting out the whole thing.
They really ought to. Maybe pull out Honey West while they're at it (that only lasted a season, right?).
Heh. I own two Johnny Staccato tapes, so I could bring them to the F2F. (I bought them at Kim's Video in NYC, if anybody's shopping there.)
EZ Streets will get it's own disc,
Cool! Tim Goodman of the Chron will wet himself with joy.
I loved EZ Streets. Even knowing it had Jason Gedrick in it, which meant it was doomed to quick cancellation, I watched every episode.
I have a thing for depressing urbanity. Also, that show was very subtly depraved.
