Avoiding Cylons with a Vintage “Battlestar Galactica” 1978 TV Guide Article

Battlestar GalacticaBears… Beets… Battlestar Galactica!  Frack yeah!

Long before we had Miami Vice play Commander Adama, who led a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest to a shining planet known as Earth, we had Bonanza occupying the very same role. Or respectfully, I should say Edward James Olmos played the role more recently, but the role was originated by the now departed Lorne Greene. Greene gave a more fatherly portrayal of the overburdened Commander whereas Olmos performance was a bit more militaristically grounded and less approachable (and grumpier). And don’t get me wrong, I loved Olmos’ portrayal. He played it just perfectly for the reboot.

The Return of Bo and Luke Duke “The Dukes of Hazzard” – New Video and TV Script

The Dukes of Hazzard Title Card“The Dukes of Hazzard” ran on CBS from January 26, 1979 to February 8, 1985. It was inspired from a 1975 movie called “Moonrunners.” Both were created by Gy Waldron.

The show took place in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia and focused on the adventures of cousins Bo and Luke Duke (John Schneider and Tom Wopat) and their never-ending run-ins with corrupted county commissioner Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and his crooked sidekick, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best). Along for the ride were their Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle) and the girl with the shortest of shorts, Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach). Oh, and let’s not forget about the General Lee, their 1969 Dodge Charger stock car.

Alternate Ending to “How I Met Your Mother” Revealed (Video)

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHERIf you haven’t seen the end of “How I Met Your Mother” you may want to turn away now.  Cause there be SPOILERS.  And with that…

On the upcoming September 23rd DVD release of “How I Met Your Mother: The Whole Story” show creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas created an alternate ending to the show. This was most likely to appease all of the fans that hated the original ending. And I strongly believe that this backlash resulted in them not moving forward with the spin-off “How I Met Your Dad.”

Dogs Sitting on Cats! It’s Mayhem! (Video)

Dog Sits on CatThere’s a lot of terrible stuff going on in the world lately.  It seems that every site I go to, I’m struck in the face with another dose of sour news.  And for some reason, I’ve noticed that CNN has disabled their comment section on their own website.  That’s curious.
