Did Tyler having had eye surgery mean that Vance was lying about his?

I don't know, I thought it was confirmation that the story about the detached retina making him leave the Marines was true. But I don't buy the "there's no record of him ever being a Marine". Still, Vance's annoyance at his wife telling Gibbs everything Vance didn't want Gibbs to know was funny.

When did detective shows start using story arcs and continuing character elements? I remember the shows from the 70s, where everything was a standalone, except for recurring characters like Wo Fat on Hawaii 50 (loved Wo Fat) and such.

Didn't Magnum PI have a few arcing elements? Or did they just do occasional multi-parters?

Wasn't Wiseguy the first to do it?

I think HSB was up an running prior to Wiseguy.

HSB was definitely on-air before Wiseguy. I know I watched it (HSB) in my college dorm around 1985, and I think Wiseguy dates from the late '80s/early '90s.

I read Beverly to mean she wouldn't get DVDs. They are being made.

Woo! No, if they're made I will definitely have them, if I have to sell a kidney.

It was just that as far as I knew, TNT didn't dvd its original shows.

John Rogers has been soliciting for extras ideas (I want fight choreography details), so I'm pretty sure they're a go.

TNT didn't dvd its original shows.

Leverage is produced by the same people who did The Librarian movies, and those definitely made it to DVD.

This should probably go in BS, but I'm unsubbed. ita--I just saw an ad for I Am Omega--an Omega Man remake thing starring Mark Dacascos. I must have been living on Mars to have missed this. Premieres this Saturday at 9:00 on SciFi. Or SyFy, whatever.

Oh, no doubt after the classic movie "Spring Break Shark Attack" that I saw advertised during the BSG: Last Frakkin' Special I tivoed yesterday.
