The Mary Tyler Moore Show

I watched the episode "Put on a happy face" The social values didn't seem too different from today's values, the lady wanted to look nice for the dinner or whatever it was and the guy that went with her was really embarrassed by her because she was not dressed like she was suppose to be dressed. Also the weird room mate lady or who ever she was, mentioned a "fat attack" and I really think that females these days are scared of eating fat things too... Some reference to jokes I didn't get because I don't live in that time period but It was an okay show I guess.

I guess they were successful in portraying what they were doing... I found this old show semi-entertaining.

Stargate Universe

Well after the cancellation of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, there is a new stargate series starting up in the fall, called STARGATE UNIVERSE.

Don't really know much about it, except for this stuff. Click Here to go there.


Also there is this Trailer that was aired during the series finale of Battlestar Galactica.

Negitive feelings twords TV

A lot was going on in the years of 1955-1965, all the civil rights stuff, and the war etc...
People felt that TV was slating things, or not reporting on stuff equally.
Kind of like propaganda.

sci-fi = syfy !!

NOOO!! I am deeply offended by this.

Sci-fi is changing their name to "syfy" because they feel that the name "sci-fi" is to geeky and they want to appeal to a larger audence... That's all well and good but what about the programing on the station will that now appeal to a larger audience... more reality shows prehaps, more pointless boring crap TV's made on almost no money? I sure hope not, I want more TV shows like Battlestar Galactica, and Stargate... O yeah, I hear a new Stargate TV show is starting up soon... Hopfully it's good.

Battlestar Galactica!!!

Okay so after 5 years and 4 seasons plus a miniseries and a direct to DVD movie Battlestar is going to end this Friday with a 2 hour series finale!! I think it starts at 9:00 est

But like holy @#$# that show is amazing... I just wish they did a little better on the reward for all the build up, but this last episode is suppose to be really good and really resolve everything. The writers have really promised not to leave "winking" so to say. So it will be a definitive ending and all such goodness.



From blog things




It's such a good dark and gritty show, but underneath that there is real human emotions and a bright side but as the writer said... ,"after a nuclear holocaust how happy can you get?"



From blog things





Apparently a prequel to the show is already been signed by NBC/sci-fi channle. It's called "Caprica" (the name of the really ritch and sciency planet in the colionies) and it deals with the creation of the human cylons. (skin jobs ^_^)

What I have learned.

I found it really surprising that they tried to make the first TV's with a mechanical rotating disk. It just sounded like a really really dumb idea to me.
Yeah I'm kind of more interested in the tech then all the political and social stuff the book rambles on about forever.
