Knowing what we know now about Michael, it is going to be a real treat to watch Danson going forward.

Because of the way it simultaneously wrapped up the story they were working on, while also setting up the show going forward, it's definitely up there.

And to second RinaX's comment, Ted Danson is fantastic.

If we have to put up with those to get the run of Mexican Spitfire movies, I guess it's worth it.

Would that it were so simple.

Really hard to comment on this without spoiling how season 1 ended. So I'll just say this is at the top of my list of anticipated shows in the fall.

Commenter Abe Froman has a more detailed explanation below. According to Abe, the original writer/director was fired, Russell took over, and Cosmatos was brought in to "assist" for insurance reasons. Sounds plausible.

Mine was actually the poster for Nine Months. She's shown in profile whispering in Hugh Grant's ear and, whoa.

I grew up in farm country and got to experience feeding defective candy to cows firsthand. In our case, it was when Pop Rocks were big. The defect in question was larger-than-safe CO2 bubbles. Farm kids used to bring the stuff to school and we learned pretty quick that you could chip a tooth with the things. But…

Although to be fair, the PG-13 rating gives the movie its best joke.

To be honest, the critics had had their knives sharpened for Ah-nold pretty much since the moment he broke into Hollywood. When the crack in the armor appeared, they pounced. And that, combined with Jurassic Park sucking a lot of the air out of the…

A bunch of fairly reliable scuttlebutt from the set says that Kurt Russell pretty much directed Tombstone. I'd say that's fairly obvious from the tone. And if the rumors are true, Russell was generous enough to let Kilmer steal the movie.

I attended Mardi Gras a year or two after Hard Target was released. Jean-Claude Van Damme was the King of Bacchus. It was not lost on the New Orleans locals that JCVD had played a Cajun in the movie. He did his high leg kicks on the top of the float and the crowd went absolutely wild.

Okay, to be fair, it was late…

They're my choice. Although Herman and Lily Munster were the first TV couple to sleep in the same bed.

Another fun fact: the equatorial trench exists because after the model makers cast the two halves of the Death Star, they didn't fit together cleanly. So they added the trench to mask that fact.

"Hey, don't forget about me! Can I get a 'England Prevails'?!?"-

I believe next week's episode was supposed to be the season finale, before Fox ordered a back nine. I'm interested to see whether they intended to have another cliffhanger or decided to wrap up the major storylines. If it's the former, it will be nice to wait only a few months for the resolution, rather than until…

The Glades did them one better. The first season introduced a criminology intern from the local community college. By the end of the second season, the kid was a computer forensics expert, CSI lab technician, and coroner, all in one. Whenever the lead need analysis of a blood sample, a victim's bank and phone records,…

The idea itself is also virtually identical to an old Outer Limits episode called "The Architects of Fear." I don't remember exactly how the issue resolved itself, but I seem to remember Moore admitting that he may have lifted the idea, at least subconsciously.

In an interview, Welles once said he considered commercials some of the best examples of film art. Because the director only had 30 seconds or a minute to tell a complete story. I'd bet he'd be absorbed by YouTube.

It's only a cameo, but Price is absolutely heartbreaking in Edward Scissorhands.

I've also always had a soft spot for Corman's Tales of Terror, especially the wine tasting competition with Peter Lorre.

And, corny as it is, my favorite Price movie not starring Price is The Ten Commandments.

This season was so masterfully done that I'm confident the second season can be just as good. I think, though, they need to be careful and keep each story to a self-contained one-season arc. If they don't lose control of the narrative like some of the multi-season mystery shows (Lost, X Files), they should be fine.

ET…
