The DVDs break up the 2-hour Pilot into two episodes, which, for me, kinda disrupts the whole flow of energy building up to the awesome highway shootout in the middle, there.

My three picks for shows with movie-quality pilots...

Oh, I've watched Firefly's pilot twice as many times as I have the other episodes.

I did a slightly better job of writing that up for my posting on FireflyFans.net...

This is kinda spooky. Not only did he die the day after his 88th birthday, but according to Wikipedia...

Oh, that's the single most fuckin' hilarious thing I've seen in a long while!

Boy, I'm glad I bailed after episode 3! "The Blessing"? Really? And "Magic Blood"? Can you say "Midichlorians"?

As was I.

Actually, the rollout was in '76, and the Approach and Landing Tests (ALT) were in '77.

Awesome chart, but if they're gonna include the Space Shuttle, why not the Enterprise, since it was re-named from the Constitution after thousands of Trekkers wrote in.

For me, it's "Hey, Gary's on!"

Not a fan, I take it?

I'm ecstatic as well, but I find it interesting that the renewal comes right after they ran their first episode I just couldn't sit through.

Yep, totally agree. Especially after their "excellent adventure".

Ahhh, yes! Brings back fond memories of the Unknown Comedian.

Ohhh, I love the "squeegee" feature on that NASA page! Having too much fun wipin' it back & forth!

Would it be fair to say that The Prisoner helped usher in postmodernism?

Wikipedia says the term was coined in the 1870s.

Almost a week later, and it still bugs me that EUReKA's writers are apparently legally prohibited from using the trade name "CornNuts™".
