    a most pleasing terror
    M.R. James: Ghost Writer Mark Gatiss steps into the mind of MR James, the enigmatic English master of the supernatural story. How did this donnish Victorian bachelor, conservative by nature and a devout Anglican, come to create tales that continue to chill readers more than a century on? Mark attempts to uncover the secrets of James's inspiration, taking an atmospheric journey from James's childhood home in Suffolk to Eton, Cambridge and France, venturing into ancient churches, dark cloisters and echoing libraries along the way.

    The Colbert Show
    A monument to American excess mixed with a reverse twist of sarcasm. Colbert is a monumental ego who addresses his audience as "Nation". Inevitably there would be a comic who took it to this edge. Although a stupid conservative might feel a kinship with Colbert's comments, it is his unique brand of sarcasm that makes his show witty and Emmy-winning. Although entertaining, it can wear on the intelligent mind after a longer or shorter period.

    With season 4 just around the corner I can't help but wonder what's in store for some of the beloved characters. I haven't read the books so I really haven't a clue. But I will say that i'm rooting for the dragons and hoping for King Joffrey to have his throat slit from ear to ear...very slowly.

    Excellent, heartfelt writing there, Mr. Lard
    I wrote about Pussy Riot in the Current Events thread when the incident happened and it drew exactly -0- response from deadheads. As you aptly observe, nobody gives an apathetic two shits about Pussy Riot. These three courageous and creative protesters might as well be from Mars, being from Russia. Now they have disappeared into the Gulag with only Amnesty International left to look after them. I'm afraid institutional prejudice is going to win the day in this case and there is not much to be done, unless Ed Snowden takes up their cause personally with his new pal Putin. But I'll sign the petition. I believe what they did in the US, depending on geographical location, would have warranted a stern legal warning from a Catholic lawyer to stay away to a charge of Criminal Trespass with perhaps a few days of jail time, if it happened in Tupelo, Misssissippi. The Russians are a strange, long-suffering people and you don't want to cross them. Not in this way, in this institution. I think you aptly pointed that out. I know it sounds trite, but how would Christ have responded to Pussy Riot?

    Victory will be for those who create disorder without loving it
    by Grace Dent - Storyville: Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer. Review - The Independent. 'The actions that skewered Russian protest group Pussy Riot, causing national trauma, are, to the British viewer, so minor that the footage is rather laughable. We watched during Pussy Riot – a Punk Prayer as the girls donned pastel-coloured balaclavas in the Cathedral of Christ Saviour, Moscow, then ran about dancing, singing and making some unsporting comments about Putin. In fact, most Brits wouldn't even find this laughable. More utterly unremarkable. If I were to go to Westminster Abbey this Saturday and leap about in a silly hat and no bra saying David Cameron was a prick, I'd have a bloody long wait for Sky News and the police to turn up. The reactions, I'll wager, would involve: some Christian types who were mid-Mass tutting, someone in a Boden cardigan mumbling that this was a bit like when Jesus protested against money-lenders, some nuns on a day trip from Tring putting me on Instagram and then, eventually, a volunteer in a tabard from the tea shop bringing me a cup of milky PG Tips and a lavender slice. What it would certainly would not lead to is national horror, mass rallys, calls for my hanging, my burning, my exorcism and my eventual transportation to Penal Colony Number 14 in Mordovia. As the documentary aired this week on BBC4, Pussy Riot member Nadia Tolokonnikova was being transferred to another unconfirmed colony. Nadia was, essentially, missing in the Russian prison system, which feels, to me, as disconcerting as the threats that the girls would “be killed in Siberia” for their unholy, feminist, anti-establishment actions that were heard during the trial footage. Nadia is an enigmatic character. She is staggeringly beautiful and aware of the fact. She is emotionally ungiving and puts her feminist beliefs before her role as a mummy. She is wholly shameless about a previous protest she took part in where she had sex in a museum. She is calmly, aloofly and defiantly unrepentant about this whole Cathedral business. All of these elements – each and every one – so very very unbecoming in a woman, especially a Russian woman. The Orthodox Church, the media and her prosecutors detest her. The manner in which the Russian Orthodox Christians of 2013 quickly slip into calling Nadia, Masha and Katia “demons” or discussing how there must be a devil moving in them to commit this “sacrilegious act” feels like earwigging on footage of the Salem witch trials. But it's 2013 and they're holding the Winter Olympics there next February. As we watched footage of the girls in their prison cage, being refused the right to see their children, being warned they might die in prison, while their ageing parents were jostled about by Orthodox thugs, it struck me how half-hearted and duplicitous the tone of tolerance and acceptance would be at the Sochi opening ceremony as compared to Danny Boyle's explosion of Great British free-thinking tolerance. Pussy Riot could have ran across Boyle's Green and Pleasant land topless with chainsaws and, in the grand scheme of things, no one would have cared. “But don't you see, in Russia dancing in a cathedral is the equivalent of pissing on a war memorial?” someone Tweeted the other evening as I watched. And, yes, the documentary showed this too. It showed a country where religion was suppressed for many years and is thus now doubly sacred. But, more importantly, it showed a country with no history of performance or conceptual art protest; therefore, Pussy Riot playing bad electric guitar near an altar felt literally like the end of days. Like the Sex Pistols going on TV in the Seventies in Britain and telling Jesus himself to fuck off. Meanwhile, in Britain 2013, we're bored to death with performance art, with Spiderman clinging to Buckingham Palace shouting about his rights as a father, or the Turner Prize exhibition full of child mannequins with cocks for faces or a whole array of passionate political fools who turn up daily on the green at Westminster in fancy dress as toilets, sheep, vaginas etc waving banners to make their point about clean water, EU quotas or chlamydia. In fact, we're so bored by the British equivalents of Pussy Riot that when laws are brought in to deplete our rights to protest, we don't really give a damn. Whether one agrees with Pussy Riot's beliefs or their methods, A Punk Prayer's examination of the girls' fearlessness, their determination to shove feminist protest in the face of Russian Orthodoxy and their unflinching calm in the face of jackboots and holy water was wholly compelling. Before the girls were sentenced – their vows that they weren't being sacrilegious, weren't militant atheists and were in fact making a comment about state involvement in religion roundly ignored – they were permitted to give statements. Katia said: “I now have mixed feelings about this trial. On the one hand, we expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won. The whole world now sees that the criminal case against us has been fabricated.” I'm not sure that the whole world knows Pussy Riot's story, but this Storyville certainly helped augment their growing legendary status.'

Here we go, boys and girls. Not sure how this is going to work, but it ain't going to work by me creating topics for everyone's favorite show. (Just thought I should say that up front!) I'm currently getting hooked by John from Cincinnati. I actually bought HBO last night in time to watch the re-run of Ep3, so now that I'm paying for it,dammit, I'm going to watch it. That's the only time my TV is on, though. Just can't bring myself to sit in front of the box and be 'entertained'.

Still my favorite faux news program. Did anyone see the guy who pushed (through the Freedom of Information Act) to get the CIA "Family Jewles" released. How many main stream news shows even gave the story more than a moment air time? I don't care what coolwhipdude said, it's a BETTER news show than most.

I like The Daily Show as well (learn how to spell Golden Road you hack) but the writing has gone a bit down hill after Steven left and started his own (and better) show. No slouch as far as guests on that show either. My recent favorite was author Daniel Pinchbeck. And those bears, we have to get them under control. Where's Homeland Security when you need them?

The Pinchbeck interview was good. GRTUD probably liked the special effects Steven used prior to him introducing his guest (Steven really introduces his self in a faux stab at the prime time pundits, if you haven't seen the show - actually funny) that reminded him of his good times before becoming "a family man".If you really want to see a great interview, casting a net across the dark waters of our times, check out Jon Stewart's interview with Philip Zimbardo, author of "The Lucifer Effect" and conductor of the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971. My only complaint of the show, in these situatinns, with these type guests, is they should shelve all the stupid kid stuff (phoney interviews and commentary) and make the interview longer than 6 - 8 mins. I understand that they can attract political heavyweights by sticking to this format but someone like Zimbardo deserved the entire half hour because he knows what causes situations like many of the political fiascos in progress now. That said, I did some follow up and have found his web site to be very informative. http://www.lucifereffect.com "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet.

Are you kind? Good to hear u cats at least watch some mostly decent stuff. TV has so much power over what people think. Seems most of what's on is just mind numbing or downright brainwashing. Still, the odd nugget slips through. Sometimes I succumb to watching rubbish but I find I do a lot more in living my own live when I keep the boob tube off. Who needs tv anymore now that we have YOUTUBE anyway?!!! I love the way u can CHOOSE from almost anything u can imagine and find something relevant on utube! Peace Cats, Jody

Who could ever forget Chuck Barris in his apparently altered state. At least they were all stoned and were there just for a good laugh (me too!). There's a new show now called America's Got Talent thats similiar, but far worse. This ones got a pompous Brit, a girl who thinks everything is FANTASTIC (even if it sucks), and some guy who you have no clue why he's there in the first place. This line up sounds farmiliar......hmmm.

How about dislikes...I hate all the serialized formats that shows seem to follow, who has time for that? Gimme a show that is different every week where you can tune in and not have to have seen the 30 previous episodes to know what is going on! The 60's/70's reruns rule!

Hackster, You and I must have been watching the same channels. I'm from South Jersey, so we had all Philly and NY channels...I remember the following: Captain Noah The Gene London Show Pixie Ann (the chick on the mushroom) The Banana Splits The Arabian Knights (size of a rat!!) The Bugaloos Sigmond the Seamonster Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, Squidly Didley, Top Cat, Snaggle Pus...etc.... The Little Rascal ( my fave episode, when they got he 'epidemic') The Three Stooges (my dad loved it and it pissed my mom off...LOL) The Monkees (fave character besides Davey was the dummy in the chair) The Brady Bunch Speed Racer!!! I guess I could go on and on. I dont get to watch much TV now. Between my old man and my son, the remote is untouchable :) Although, I did watch this season of the Soprano's.

McGarret. Telly Savallas' real life brother played the fat curly haired Detective, and he was a pussy. Danno would take him out with one bitch slap. Chin was a cool cat, but Kojak did have Crocker, who was tough, as well as Rizzo, and Saperstein, and Capt. O'neil. all in all, I think the boys at the 9 Precinct would take the Hawaii 5-0 guys. it is an East Village thing.

Here's what I think is a great way to watch the tube with a couple of friends: I put on a GD DVD, (I'm partial to 12-31-78) but they're all good really. And if yer TV has the PIP (Picture in Picture) capability you put cartoons in the small picture. It just doesn't get any better than this for me and my fellow GD buds. WARNING: Don't try this if you don't like to laugh.

Yes CC Joe, I hear the Dead while the little screen shows cartoons. There's no mix of the sound, it's pure GD goodness. BTW, which show(s) does Jerry go "beep beep"? I'd sure like to get a tape of that. ;^) ;^) And to reply to blackpeter, I find that most TV programs benefit from turning down the volume, while playing the Boys (LOUD) on the stereo. Here's a little tip: for a change of pace you may want to try some JGB !!

Latest Entertainment NewsMore South Park on the Way Tue Aug 28, 9:08 AM Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and the rest of the gang are going virtual in a really big way. South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone have inked a lucrative new production pact with Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom, which not only renews the long-running animated series for another three years but also gives it a sizable presence in the digital realm. According to the New York Times, the pair will be paid approximately $75 million over the next four years to produce three more seasons. Containing 14 episodes each, they will carry South Park through 2011, its 15th season. As part of what's being billed as a "momentous joint venture," the creative partners will also split all ad revenue 50-50 with Viacom to "spread South Park-related material across the Net, mobile platforms and video games." Viacom's YouTube Smackdown Godzilla vs. "South Park" Guys "Passion of the Jew" Part 2? Not Quite E! Online "Three more years of South Park gives us the opportunity to offend that many more people," said Stone. "And since Trey and I are in charge of the digital side of South Park for the first time, now we can offend people on their cell phones, game consoles and computers, too. It's all very exciting for us." Parker and Stone plan to redesign their digital hub, SouthParkStudios.com, early next year to centralize South Park's digital media in one place. That way, fans of the foul-mouthed fourth graders can legally watch as many clips of the 'toon as their hearts desire. "If I'm overseas and have to get an episode right away," noted Stone, "you literally have to go to an illegal download site." The Website will also serve as a laboratory for the duo to dream up various new animated characters and projects. "This extension and the formation of the joint venture are the beginnings of a new era for South Park and Comedy Central and a natural evolution of our long-term and prosperous relationship with Trey and Matt," said Viacom chief Doug Herzog. The idea of a digital animation studio pleases Parker and Stone, as their last contract was signed before clip-aggregating sites like Google's YouTube burst onto the scene, forcing Viacom to sue in order to prevent its copyrighted material from being distributed without a license. The new site will not only seek to address that problem but will also help make the South Park guys a leader in the creation of digital content. And by sharing ad revenue with Parker and Stone, the media conglom rewards them for helping put Comedy Central on the map while giving them a stake in the 'toon powerhouse for which they'll be forever known and an incentive to build the brand further. "The idea that we're getting a little piece of it back—and in five years we'll probably be going to court and fighting about it—but in ownership terms, that's kind of an amazing thing," Parker told the Times by phone from Istanbul. "People always ask us, 'You own it, right? No? Why'd you sign that deal?' And I have to say, 'Because I was sleeping on my friend's couch.' " Additionally, since Parker and Stone only spend about 20 weeks a year working on South Park episodes, the agreement also allows them plenty of time to develop three new series for Comedy Central as well. South Park has been the cable channel's highest-rated program since it premiered in 1997. © 2007 E! Entertainment Television, Inc.

I love "Antique Roadshow" as well, marye. In addition, we just got the Food Network in HD and there are too many shows to list (all) here, but some that rarely disappoint are: "Food 911"; "Good Eats"; "Diners, Dives and Drive Inns"; "Everyday Italian" and "Unwrapped". Also, this past summer, I did enjoy the prime time running of the "reality" show, "On the Lot" (Fox). Not sure if this will be renewed next season but my middle son and I TiVo'ed this and watched when we had time together, which enhanced the experience for me (along with seeing Adrianna Costa each week - sorry I can't help myself). We'd both love to write a movie script one day and be involved with direction. (Producing a movie is too much work from what I could see, IMO). I also loved that the winner was a Coen Brothers fan. Always chomping at the "bit" for what is coming to the Science Channel.... The Dude Abides!

cliff hanging on CSI and NCIS Survivor:China Law and Order:CI, the fifth season is beng rerun on USA and i missed most of that. Bravo plays CI on Sundays from 6pm to 11 pm, though with football season starting this will be tough. Did I mention the NFL and World Series

How did this show go unnoticed and (ultimately) get canceled? "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

Larry David ( who George Costanza of Sienfeld is based on) is the Homer Simpson ofSit com show people..he sets the bar so LOW for maie human behaviour-is pure ID. devoid of any spiritual inklings or compassion he stumbles from one hilarious moment to the next...He makes me feel like Gandh! LOL.. The black penis season premier episode--second title could be the Schmohawk episode is funniest show I have ever seen of Curb...maybe as good as the best Seinfelds (the bet, Newman turkey basting Kramer yadi yadi...etc.) "if the Thunder don't get ya then the lightning will!"- The Wheel "Gonna find out something only dead men know" - Silvio Class of Red Rocks '79... Life without the Dead is not life...and so we carry on...
