  1. Some of you will be shocked to hear this given my prior comments on this series. I usually watch ECW wrestling on Tuesday nights on Sci-Fi. For the past several weeks they have been showing BG right after it. I've watched the last 4 episodes and I must admit, they didn't suck that bad. I STILL like the original series better but I'm going to try to keep watching and see if it holds my interest.

    I too, watched the Original BSG. And I liked it (at the time), but this one really captivates me. Keep watching and see if it doesn't win you over too.


  2. Well considering the BBC show TOS at 1 O'clock on a saturday mornin haven't shown TNG, in months DS9and VOY in years and never showed ENT they would probably tell where to go. Scifi channel might though.

    There must be a site or two on-line that carries these episodes that can be downloaded. I just don't know where they are. And you could always buy the DVD's. I am hoping that the Remastered Episodes will be released on DVD sometime in the near future.


  3. 'Green Hornet' May Buzz on Big Screen

    Reuters

    LOS ANGELES (March 21) - The Green Hornet, a classic crime-fighting hero from radio, TV and comic books, may fly again on the big screen. Columbia Pictures has acquired film rights to the masked character for a feature film about the daring newspaper publisher who battles the underworld by night with the help of his loyal sidekick, Kato, the studio said on Tuesday.

     

    No casting decisions have been made and no director or screenwriters are yet connected with the project, a spokesman for the Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news).-owned studio told Reuters.

     

    Columbia is the same distributor behind the blockbuster "Spider-Man" film franchise based on the web-spinning Marvel Comics hero. "Spider-Man 3" is due out in May.

     

    "I couldn't be more thrilled to be developing this world renowned property with the people who brought Spider-Man to the screen," Green Hornet producer Neal Moritz said in a statement.

     

    Introduced by Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumble Bee," "The Green Hornet" debuted as a radio show in January 1936 on WXYZ in Detroit. He had been created by the station's George Trendle and Fran Striker, who also invented the Lone Ranger.

     

    The story centered on the adventures of playboy Britt Reid, who inherits his father's crusading newspaper, the Daily Sentinel, which he uses to expose organized crime in the city.

     

    Adopting the secret guise of the Green Hornet, Reid takes to the streets to personally battle criminals by night in his supercharged car, the Black Beauty, driven by his faithful companion, Kato, a master of martial-arts.

     

    The radio series ran until 1952 on the Mutual and NBC Blue networks before the Green Hornet began appearing in comic books.

     

    The story of the masked crime-fighter, armed with special weapons that could subdue his foes with a knock-out gas or an electric shock (the "hornet's sting"), also was made into two movie serials during the 1940s.

     

    But the Green Hornet is best remembered by baby boomers for the 1966-1967 ABC television series that starred Van Williams as the title character and Bruce Lee as Kato.

     

    "It was my favorite show as a kid," said Moritz, who bought rights to the project from the families of Striker and Trendle. "It's a dream come true for me."

     

    He said the film would be updated to contemporary times but follow the original mythology of the character.

     

     

     

    The Green Hornet is at best a "B" level hero. I remember the TV series in the 1960s. It was just like the Batman series of the time. I don't see a Green Hornet movie as being a big hit.

    I liked the series. I remember when the GH and Kato were guest stars on Batman once. I wouldn't mind seeing this made into a movie. But, it might best be a Sci-Fi Original Movie, rather than a theatrical release.


  4. Count me in, Constable. When Syracuse was left out of the big dance, my interest waned. Then they were invited to the NIT's, which (if they win) is like chanting, "We're Number 65!"

    My focus is on Baseball right about now.

     

    There is an Orangeman on this board! :hug:

    I hope you don't mean me. My love is with the Yankees.

    Sorry, Odo. I know you're a Tiger, thru and thru.

    Are not the Organeman Syracuse?

    They are.

    But I'm not.

    I love my S.U Teams, but I hate their nickname "Orange".

    I wish they would come up with something else.

    I just read the summary of the mascot names and controversy over the years. Otto the Orange. Hmmm

    I was going to ask why a university would have an Irish Protestant as a mascot. (Orangemen = Irish Protestant) Nevermind! ;)

    I get it. I just think that Otto the Orange is obnoxious. There are so many other nicknames that they could have gone with. But noooooooooo! The went with "Orange". YUCK! :dude:

  7. Thats true Lt. Gummy,thats too bad,Here in Malaysia theres no remastered

    TOS! Boo hoo!

    They will be available in Malaysia soon enough. Satellite Television would be an advantage in your case.

     

    We don't get it over in the UK either which is a shame. I think that CGI-ifying TOS will get the "CGI" generation through the door.

    You should write to the BBC and ask if they could add it to their programming.

    With all of the Trek Fans in the UK, how can they deny your request?


  8. watching Enterprise has recently made me angry physically because of it not having season five. I don't throw stuff around when I watch, but it is such a disappoint that it didn't continue. It needed one more season, at least!

    I couldn't agree more. A fifth season would have probably been its best season of all.

    A huge thanks to Paramount and the idiots that decided to end it too soon.

    I say line them all up for one big Stooge Slap. :dude: :bash:


  9. I've never been a big basketball fan, let alone college ball. As for baseball, all we have to look forward to over here is yet another losing season from the Orioles. Cmon Football!!!

    Hey, you don't know. They may do well. It's about having faith.:dude:
