null

Not Reality. Actuality.

 

That’s the slogan for the new truTV. Court TV has a new name and feel to its channel after sluggish ratings. I’ve been watching the new channel for a couple of hours now and I will say I’m “addicted.” truTV is the channel to turn to when you’re bored out of your mind and have nothing else to watch. It’s fixation on action packed real-life drama is actually entertaining. Much like Spike TV was when it first launched except truTV has brand-new like Ocean Force and Most Shocking. Check this channel out and become “addicted!”

CSI Las Vegas Season 7 Part 1 (Region 2 DVD) Review

This 7.1 set is a real high point as far as the quality of the episodes is concerned. You have a few action and a few drama with a number of interesting plot points added for later. An interesting point is the addition (at least for a while) in the last episode of the set of Liev Schreiber as a new CSI. For those of you who dont know the name he played Cotton in the Scream movies and was also in Sum of all fears. He is also expected to be the bad guy in the new Wolverine movie.

As far as the extras go though this is a real low. There are no features or even featurettes to mention and after the huge number of extras on the last boxset its somewhat of a shock. If your looking for a good few interesting episodes to see that the show is still going strong then you should see this but if your after something more than what you would get from watching the show on TV then this isnt it. Good as a TV show but bad as a DVD. Lets just hope that the second half of the season is where the extras are.

Verdict: –

CSI Las Vegas Season 6 Part 2 (Region 2 DVD) Review

The set for the second half of season six provides a great deal of extra material. These include things such as segments about the technology seen on screen used by the characters and a look back at how the season has progressed. If anything the extras on this one set are better than the actual episodes where none really stand out enough from the crowd.

Verdict: +

Heroes Season 3 trailer leaked

Just like the Dark Knight trailer a week ago a high profile trailer has been leaked onto the net. Plus, just like before it’s in a bad cam quality. For those of you that don’t want any spoilers for season 3, we won’t be putting up details here, but it does appear that season 3 is going to be the darkest yet.

The source for this trailer’s showing was the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival where the show was being honored. What we can say is this season 3 trailer in its current format doesn’t spoil too much as the audio is of a terrible quality but the picture is clear enough to make out key characters and interactions between them.

New LOST trailer

Is it almost that time of year? You know when the leaves start changing colors and the summer heat goes away?

Wait it’s December… so why hasn’t ABC aired new LOST episodes yet?! The only reason to watch the ABC channel, has for better or worse had many changes this season. First LOST was supposed to have 16 episodes, now since the Writer’s Strike say hello to only 8 new episodes, and it will be pushed to Thursday nights. Talk about the kiss of death.

Of course you should have been able to get your LOST fix with the online webisodes called Lost: Missing Pieces. If you never checked that out, you’re one of the millions of fans that ignored one big piece of crap. Ok I only watched the first episode. That was a piece of crap.

ABC has released a new promo for Season 4, which begins airing on January 31st. Watch it here and then drool.

Hulu Joins Myspace

Hulu

Primetime on MyspaceTV

Hulu.com is the new hot website for the best in network media entertainment. NBC, FOX, and many more have teamed up to provide content that you can find on the Tube at high quality and for free! Would you rather buy a show off iTunes or would you watch one with limited commercial interruption? I choose free.

Since Myspace.com is owned by the FOX Corporation, all the content on Hulu is now being transfered over to MyspaceTV.com. If Hulu is the destination for the high quality content, officially titled Primetime on MyspaceTV is now the interactive portion for that content.

Hulu will soon be changing the face of the internet with high definition shows being streamed to your computers sometime in 2008. As of right now their HD content solely consists of movie trailers.
