Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “this is one of the best years of Psych. Go for it.” Alex says, “I’m going with Tenchi Universe. I had a lot of fun watching that show on Toonami, and I’m glad to finally see it back in print (and I’m looking foreward to upgrading my copy of the OVAs later when the compilation release comes out).”
Comments on the format:
1) Something has obviously happened to the text size of the DVD titles. Too small now.
2) Removing the grid lines would be good, but perhaps keeping the one that’s right above the DVD title (and making it stand out more).
I’m good at HTML and CSS if you need any help with this.
I rather liked some of Red Green‘s “Adventures with Bill,” though they could wear thing. They featured Rick Green, who once hosted the SF/Fantasy news show, Prisoners of Gravity (no Amazon link. The only thing available there are some second-hand VHS tapes of individual episodes).
Incidentally, eps of Red Green actually found their way into space. Apparently, a show about a half-assed handyman who cobbles everything together with duct tape and whatever he can find proved very popular with NASA.
I also appear in an episode for about 1 second. I went to a taping and was one of the audience members recruited to be a lodge members in the concluding sketch.
