I have a bad feeling my forum got munched by the power outage we experienced in the LA City area. I can't get into the database and it's giving me some peculiar errors. It seems to all be on the server. Hopefully, that will be back up shortly. Giving Dreamhost a wee bit before panic sets in.
1991 Dark Shadows DVD Release Turkey Update
Shadowgram has confirmed that the MGM (not MPI) is releasing the 1991 DVD in a widescreen version, not the original TV size version. This means over 25% of the picture is going to be lost. Sky over the Collinwood tower, where'd you go? The top of Barnabas head? The bottom of his smoking jacket? They better had not cut off Michel T. Weiss' bare chest. There would be hell to pay for this one. Further, I found out that the videos MPI sell will for sure be going out of print. MGM is not renewing MPI's license for the videos. With their turkey DVD, they are unlikely to ever grant MPI rights for their own DVD or to ever reissue the videos.
Buyer beware.
Night Stalker
Just about plum forgot the remake of Night Stalker for the fall preview supernatural line-up. This one has hunky Stuart Townsend of Queen of the Damned fame as Carl Kolchak. The original TV movie version(s) of this series was produced by Dan Curtis. Dan Curtis directed the second one. This is set to begin airing on ABC on Thursday, September 29.
All these supernatural shows just make it all the more a shame that we aren't getting our new Dark Shadows nor even the old one back on TV.
Some supernatural shows or former supernatural stars to look for this Fall.
Bones
David Boreanaz (Angel, Valentine) stars in this inspired by the life of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs mystery TV series. Boreanaz plays Special Agent Seeley Booth. Airs on Fox Tuesday nights beginning on September 13.
Smallville
James Marsters (Buffy, Angel,Cool Money) plays Brainiac for as many as 10 episodes on the WB's "Smallville." Smallville airs on WB Thursdays beginning on September 29.
Supernatural
Supernatural is about the Winchester brothers (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) searching for their missing father and hunting supernatural phenomenon along the way. Airs on Tuesdays on the WB beginning on September 13.
Veronica Mars
Charisma Carpenter plays Kendall Casablancas on this teen mystery drama. Airs on UPN beginning on September 28.
Ghost Whisperer
Jennifer Love Hewitt plays a psychic help ghosts move to the next worlds in this CBS Friday drama. Begins on September 23.Continuing are Lost (ABC Wednesdays beginning on September 21), Desperate Housewives (ABC Sunday beginning on September 25), Battlestar Galatica (Sci-Fi on Fridays), Firefly (Sci-Fi on Fridays), and The 4400 (USA Network) repeats season two beginning this week.
Purposefully not mentioned are Kitchen Confidental (Nicholas Brendon) and How I Met Your Mother (Alyson Hanningan). Generally, I despise sitcoms. They are mostly based on putting down your family and friends. Just not my supernatural, sci-fi, mystery cup of tea. I wish these two were in something else.
