Got this for $19 from Target this morning.

Never seen the show, so I hope it's good.

It's good. Takes a while to suck you in, but once you're there, you're there. When you watch it, let us know what you think.

Nice buy Illinois! Like Deb said, let us know what you think--That's one of my fav shows!!

I picked up a few DVDs this past week: Hatchet, Hot Rod, 24 Season 5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Power Rangers Mystic Force(For my son of course!)

Ordered these today from amazon.com. Part of their BOGO sale on TV titles.

I hate the remake of this one.

Got this from Walmart to complete my Futurama collection of Volumes.

I loved The Facts OF Life. And That Darn Cat is one of my fave Disney movies.

I just purchased a DVD online.

Love Michael Palin. I have all his other travel series too, some of the older ones on VHS. I really need to copy them to DVD some time. I'm hoping to get the matching book for my birthday. I haven't even read the Himalaya one yet, but it's a large hardcover book, not very handy to read. Maybe that'll be the next thing I'm taking with me to the gym to read while I'm on the crosstrainer.

I used to watch the show The Facts Of Life all the time. Its awesome!

domesticelefant · 30 Dec 07 :: 00:21

Oooooh, Futurama! I am jealous now! LOL

Got done watching Labyrinth. All I can say is what a strange movie.

While the puppets are better than in Dark Crystal, I liked Dark Crystal better. For me DC had a better storyline than Labyrinth did. Bowie was very strange and I didn't really care for the songs in it at all. I have to say that my favorite puppet character is that little guy who guarded the bridge and rides around on the dog.

I have already watched the first 3 discs of Heroes, and I really like it/ My favorite characters (sorry don't know the character names by heart yet) is the guy who can travel through time, the lady who has 2 personalities and one that really kicks butt, the cheerleader and the younger brother who flies. My "Oh my gosh" moment was when the young guy was on the train and everyone froze and the guy that time travels comes and gives him the message.
It does get a tad confusing with the non-linear storytelling, but I like it in this show. Not sorry I bought it at all. A very good blind buy.

Right now I'm watching the Planet of the Apes marathon on AMC. I really need to get that set on DVD.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 Dec 07 :: 20:57

There's an Apes marathon on AMC today? Damn, why do I have to be at work? Not that I haven't seen them all a thousand times. Except for Beneath which is so silly I can barely stand it and Roddy McDowall's not in it so it doesn't really count anyway. Conquest is my favorite because Roddy's incredible in it. It was his favorite too. And Escape is a lot of fun.

Hiro is my favorite Hero, too! He's just so damn cute. :-)

Got these from Walmart today.

Stargate SG-1 was $20

Was in the $5 dump bin. Never seen the show, but for $5 - what the heck!

magicalturkey · 05 Jan 08 :: 16:19

I actually liked Foxworthy... now I have to go to Walmart and dig through the dump bin

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Jan 08 :: 19:49

I loved the Foxworthy show. Haley was so cute!

Chnyst · 10 Jan 08 :: 04:40

I can't remember if it was from a recommendation from someone on this board, or somewhere else, but I picked up "Brother's Keeper" last night and watched it immediately. I haven't been able to get it out of my head all day today. It's a documentary from the early 90's about 4 elderly brothers who live together in a 2 room shack on a farm. One of the men-who was very ill-dies overnight and another brother is accused of murder in a mercy killing fashion. It's an amazing story--I'd definitely suggest checking this one out.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 10 Jan 08 :: 04:47

Sounds like a good movie Sean. I'll watch it sometime.

Chnyst · 10 Jan 08 :: 07:00

Tell me whatcha think too!!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 11 Jan 08 :: 04:42

Sure thing. = )

notsofairytale · 11 Jan 08 :: 08:10

I didn't purchase this, but my friend (guy, mind you) got me a late Christmas gift and it was the Suite Life of Zack and Cody DVD (still wrapped). I felt a little odd 'cuz though I watch it occasionally, I'm not a huge fan. If anything, he should have gotten me a Hannah Montana DVD! Haha. I dislike Hannah/Miley Cyrus so much, but Lily/Emily Osment, Jackson/Jason Earles, and Oliver/Mitchel Musso make the show so much better and fun ;D

I just got the Special Edition of Jesus Christ Superstar. But most of you have probably never heard of it.

Illinoisguy1 · 11 Jan 08 :: 17:05

Oh yeah, I've heard of Jesus Christ Superstar. Never watched it though, just know that it can out in either the late 60's, early 70's, it's a musical and sort of has a hippy look to it all.

I also think a lot of conservatives and ultra-religious people didn't like it and I am sure boycotted it.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Jan 08 :: 17:15

Released in 1973, directed by the great Norman Jewison from the stage musical by Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber. BEST. MUSICAL. EVER. Can't wait to listen to the commentary by Jewison and star, Ted Neely (most beautiful onscreen Christ ever).

Illinoisguy1 · 11 Jan 08 :: 21:15

Just ordered this from amazon.com for $35, which is a good deal with the 3 volumes selling for about $24 each.

Are you kidding?! I LOVE Jesus Christ Superstar.

Well, yes, but Brenna, you are a rare and special creature. You dig Porcupine Tree fer cryin' out loud! From you, this does not surprise me.
