To buy or not to buy

Here’s a problem:

A TV show box set of the first season sells poorly because the first season sucks. Everyone wants to buy the later seasons when the show rocked, but the distributor figures people just aren’t interested in the show. Instead of putting out Season 2, they release a cheapie collection of “favorite” episodes which must have been grabbed at random and one of the episodes is even a repeat from the Season 1 box set. There’s even a cliffhanger shown without the conclusion! The TVShowsOnDVD people say the makers are gauging the response to determine whether to sell the other seasons.

Now: Do you buy this cheapie to support the show, even though it will just be duplicates of episodes you would rather own on the season sets, or do you angrily protest and demand a season set?

Oh, the agony of being a Night Court fan. I want them to get up to those “marathon” episodes where the court would race through a docket of 250 wacky cases by midnight for some contrived reason or another. (The best one had a cameo by, of all people, Wile E. Coyote.)

“What’s your favorite case from Night Court?” is our Question of the Week on the Forum.

Fantastic discovery at my local Sam’s Club

For those of you who haven’t yet bought the four “Batman the Animated Series” box sets, you’ll be happy to know that I found them at Sam’s Club for $21 each. That’s $10 less (apiece) than I can get them at DVDPacific, and $12 cheaper than on Amazon!

I’m glad I waited!

Try out for Sci-Fi’s real life superhero show

Who Wants To Be A Superhero? is now taking applications. You have to have a costume, powers and I would imagine a physique that looks good.

Now, in the past, I’ve been quite open with you all that I am not an Adonis. I’ve shared with you my hopes to get on another reality show: The Biggest Loser. (That there probably tells you I’m not costume-ready, unless they want a variation on Bouncing Boy.) Yeah, it would be embarrassing, but worth it.

So I asked myself: which would be more humiliating? Would I rather take my shirt off and stand on a scale in front of millions of people, or dress up in a costume with some third-rate name (you KNOW all the good ones are taken!) and tell the millions…okay, tens of thousands…watching Sci-Fi Channel about how much I want to be superhero?

You know what? It’s not even close. I love comic books but I wouldn’t be caught dead on that show.

If you have the courage, go ahead and sign up.

Dungeons and Dragons movie sequel

Sci-Fi Channel has a review of Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God, the straight-to-DVD sequel to the regrettable and forgettable 2000 movie.

In short: better than the first one.
