During my last trip out in the GTO, I realized that it’s been months since I actually changed the CDs in the car’s 6-disc changer deck. As if to prove the point, when I cycled through the discs to see what was what, I found half of the catalog was still left over from [...]

NBC yesterday announced their fall TV lineup, and as many of us suspected, it includes a new Knight Rider TV series. The reinvented show will air in the 8 p.m. Wednesday timeslot, with encore episodes to air each Saturday night in the off-season (summer 2009).
In addition, the show is getting a new executive producer: [...]

As you might be aware, the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica starts on the Sci-Fi channel this Friday night at 10:00 p.m. ET. Interestingly, it will also be aired early — at noon ET — on SciFi.com!
So I was watching TV earlier, when I noticed that my TiVo was showing “Battlestar Galactica [...]

Rock and roll just used to be for kicks
And nowadays it’s politics
And after 1986 what else could be new?
So sang Billy Joel in his 1986 single “Modern Woman,” a song meant to light-heartedly illustrate how the stereotypical man’s antiquated behavior toward women was no longer effective. In recent times, though, I’ve started adopting the [...]

Before I started this entry, I considered simply adding to the comments thread of Pooch’s post on the Knight Rider movie. In the end, I had so many thoughts banging around in my head that I decided it was worth adding an entirely new post on the subject.
To recap: This past Sunday night, NBC [...]

In case you’ve somehow forgotten, the all-new Knight Rider TV movie that all of us at Oddball Update have been waiting for is airing tonight on NBC at 9PM EST.
Part of me is intrigued, but another part of me is dreading it. Still, it can’t be as bad as Knight Rider 2000, right?
Right?

I had a couple of “holy cow!” moments yesterday. You know the type — like when you suddenly realize that one of your favorite songs as a child was recorded by an artist you “discovered” later in your life. In my case, I learned something new about two classic movies I’ve always liked.
Yesterday [...]

After all the hell I went through to get it working, I have to say that Apple and I are really loving the TiVo HD. The other day we went through the list of upcoming HD movies and selected several to record. There were a few others that I thought about recording, but [...]

Today was Comcast’s third (and last) chance at sending a technician out to put working CableCARDs in my TiVo HD — last chance, that is, before I escalated it up to a supervisor. Fortunately, with about 15 minutes left to spare before the expiration of the appointment window, the tech appeared at the door.
The [...]

Comcast missed my third CableCARD service call today. This is the second appointment in a row where the tech just plain hasn’t shown up, despite assurances to the contrary. Last time I had the 5pm-9pm window. Today I had the 1pm-5pm window. For my newly-rescheduled appointment, set for Wednesday the 9th, [...]
