Bring Back Star Wars.

English comedian Justin Lee Collins tries to reunite the cast of Star Wars for a party in London. He tries to track down and interview the main cast members in order to persuade them to attend.

Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker hate each other, apparently!

And of course the Clone Wars animated series starts soon on the Cartoon Network. I will probably give it a look, even though the "movie" didn't get a very good reception. It may work better in the format in which it was intended to be shown (on TV, in 30-minute chunks).

all of the seasons are good.

I am disappointed with how they ended last season. They need a finally and they pulled one out of their ass IMHO. They changed a great character in such a way as to make what he did unbelievable. And they only did it because of the writers strike, originally they planned to use the character to go though some post traumatic stress for his time in IRaq.

I'm glad that girl got fired. She would have been unbearable to watch week after week.


reminds me I need to make a post about all of the Bond things in the season opener

Thanks:)
we saw it, didn't get started on the first show because it was 2 hrs. 2hrs is serious commitment. :lol:

The dog whisperer was a good addition to the story, which ended so sadly for Ripley.

Zack breaking out of the loony bin
and the start with the kid
Spoiler

None of the new shows are impressing me, save for Fringe. And Bones has been consistently awesome this season .

Good times :)
Zack was a great character, the change to make him a bad guy was inexplicable. Eh was supposed to have a story line about him going to Iraq and the fall out emotional from his time there.

Thsi weeks show was good too.

It was a good one :)

I may give Fringe a try unless it conflicts with another (more important) show :)

NCIS had a good show , this week or last, AGent afloat coudln't guess who the doer was before the very end. Normaly I guess the guilty guy before teh half hour is up.

I LOVE NCIS. I watched the first few episodes of House this season(it started before NCIS) but switched over to NCIS.

NCIS is a blast. it was very upsetting when the team was fired the end of last year. I though Gibbs was going to take down the new director to get his team back.

Ooh.I have my doubts about Vance.Something about him doesn't quite seem right to me but I'll be darned if I can put my finger on it.And from the spoilers I've read, Agent Lee will have a prominent plotline in a upcoming episode.

Vance was a bad guy, or had the role of bad guy with director Jenny Shepherd. In this season Vance was quickly cleaned up, sporting Gibbs hair cut and is in sync with Gibbs walking and expressions.
Still not surea bout him.
But I was thinking about adn there are at least 3 clues Gibbs can pick up on to go after Agent lee before teh season is over.

I'm probably not the best person to answer that, since I only saw a few episodes of season 1, out of order. I never thought season 2 was that bad, to be honest.

Might not watch Fringe tonight.There's a Ghost Hunters episode on at 9 where they're going to be at the Oak Alley Plantation in Lousisiana(someplace I've been to!)so I want to see that.Then South Park is on after that.
