I’m still cleaning… Dawson’s Creek Finale This is a show that was absolutely brilliant during its first season. But it began to go downhill when its creator, Kevin Williamson, left to work on other projects. He returned to write the series finale and it was brilliant. In a two hour period he made me forget the so-so seasons since he left and brought the show back to the quality that it enjoyed during its initial season. ER Season Finale While last season’s finale was better than the show’s 200th episode a few weeks earlier, it still wasn’t all that hot. This time out they sent two of the ER docs out into a war zone in the middle of an African jungle. Even with guns a blazing, this episode was still on the dull side. CNN At It Again CNN interviewing Harry Knowles? And they wonder why Fox News is kicking their asses? Disney Disposable DVDs Disney is developing a DVD that you can throw away after use. Way to help the environment Disney. I guess they figured AOL CDs weren’t already adding enough pollution to the world. SpikeTV The “First TV Network For Men” launched. Hmm, I always thought that was Playboy. Or even mentv in Canada. I guess they did as much research on their competition as they did on that goofy new name of theirs. EDIT: Since I originally wrote this, the about us section of their web site now refers to the site as the first network in America for men. I guess they pulled their heads out of their asses long enough to have a look around at the TV landscape. Although, I would still argue that Playboy or ESPN are a hell of a lot more appealing to guys than a network that specializes in reruns from the 1980’s. Gregory Peck & David Brinkley Die A great actor and a great journalist who will both be missed. Maxim WLBZ TV in Bangor Maine decided not to air an NBC special that featured content from Maxim magazine. Again WLBZ proves itself to be the worst network affiliate on the planet. I’ve known it for years. In the 90’s they would routinely replace Sunday afternoon NBA games with old reruns of Roseanne. Yep, programming geniuses. V It looks like V is coming back. Cool.
