I think we’re about to do it. “Do what?” you ask. Get rid of cable TV. We are paying way too much for TV. We dropped HBO/Cinemax and went to the extended basic with HD plan and it didn’t really make that much difference. The biggest difference was going from 20Meg to 10Meg internet. We can catch most of our shows on Hulu. Except CBS and the CW. There are quite a few CBS shows but only Supernatural and Smallville from the CW. Stay tuned.
Hmm… Wonder if the Wii can play videos from Hulu, CBS, CW, etc…

This is totally and completely out of left field. The news was posted to io9 a few minutes ago. My favorite BBC show besides Doctor Who, Primeval, will be coming back for at least 13 more episodes. They will be split with season four having seven episodes and season five will have six. This is great news to all Primeval fans. Season three ended in a cliff hangar. I don’t think anyone knew BBC wasn’t going to pick it up for the next season. Making this return possible is a collaboration for funding. In the new funding setup BBC Worldwide has overtaken ITV to become the largest partner, with BBC America – which broadcasts the series in the US – joining Germany’s Pro7 as a co-production partner.
All I have to say is thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This post is being written using Windows Live Writer, part of the Windows Live Essentials software package. We’ll see how this article looks once it gets posted. The plug-in for OpenOffice.org that does WordPress blog posting doesn’t work very well.
UPDATE: Hate to say it but it looks like Microsoft may be getting back to putting out good small software applications. I really like what I’ve seen in Live Writer so far.

Quite a boon for shows not on “TV.” Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog won an Emmy for Outstanding Special Class – Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs. And with NPH hosting we were treated to Dr. Horrible breaking in to the broadcast.
Congratulations to Joss, NPH, Felicia, Nathan, and all the rest!
