Here’s some lighter fare than most of the Halloween
reviews.

The Peacekeeper Wars” airs Sunday Oct. 17 and Monday
Oct. 18 at 9pm on the Sci-Fi channel. Don’t miss it!
The original submission has been slightly
modified for the same of people who don’t check in on
Saturday.

Some time ago, we told you about a Fox TV DVD sale
that hit Canadian retailers, with prices that were
over 50% off. Now, Amazon.com is reflecting similar
prices for the first seasons of 24,
Futurama
(which I picked up in the Canadian sale and will
review soonish), Roswell,
Angel,
The
Simpsons, Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, King
of the Hill, and MASH.
(The Canadian sale included Dark Angel,
which I’ll eventually review, Firefly, and
pretty much every other first season Fox show. The
Amazon.com sale doesn’t seem to be doing this.) At
any rate, they have a quantity cap on them, but for
$14.99, it’s hard to say no to those you don’t
already own. If I had any Christmas shopping left to
do, this would finish it. (Well, fine, I still have
my father left to buy for, but the rest is done.)

The warnings convince me not to play them, since I could prevent it from being overheard by random parents or their children. I put this in the “TV series” category, even though it’s a web series. We don’t have a web series category at the moment, so this seemed like the bests fit.

William Shatner and others have been spending some time making a low-budget SF film in Iowa. Except, as revealed here, it’s all a hoax, part of a forthcoming Reality TV show.

It’s no Mystery Science Theater 3000, but those in or near Canada may want to check out this show, which airs 6:30 Sunday night on Space.

If you check out the
official Emmy website, you’ll find a Word
document that lists the winners at this year’s Emmy
awards. Enterprise went home with two
technical awards, while Angels In America
cleaned house as the big winner, with four technical
awards and seven awards in the main ceremony. Next
year’s ceremony is certain to look much different;
four of the biggest winners won’t be on the air next
year. (Sex and the City, Frasier,
and The Sopranos have all wrapped their
final seasons, while Angels in America was a
miniseries, now out on DVD, that was never intended
to run more than a few weeks.) The West
Wing is already down to being a single award
winner. So, what do we see on the horizon that might
make an impact? What do you predict for the next big
winner?

The new Batman animated series launches on the WB
today. What do you think of it?

We’re finally getting “Jeremiah” in Canada. It airs
tonight on Space, at 10pm in
Toronto, which is in the time zone for which Space
advertises all of its times, so adjust to your time
zone accordingly. I’m tempted to review each episode
if I can find the time. The series is already
available on DVD; you can buy it from Amazon.com
or Amazon.ca
if you’d like.
