I don’t know what I did right but this year has been a smorgasbord of entertainment for me; movies, television, DVD’s, music...

There have been some really fun movies like X-men III, Superman Returns, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, etc... Also the new Spider-man III trailer was unbelievable. Sam Raimi and Co. really really really know how to do movie trailers right. You can’t watch it and not be motivated to see this film.

There have been some really great shows come out here at the end of summer as well. I’ve been watching Blade the series which has been excellent. Also a sleeper hit for me is "Who wants to be a Superhero" it’s a show I wasn’t prepared to like, but it’s really fun to watch, the plot of the show is really good, and Stan Lee lives up to his nickname “the man”.

We’ve also been watching Eureka. It’s fun to watch but a bit disjointed and not really hit a groove yet.

I’ve also been watching TV on DVD. I bought one of my favorite shows as a kid “Sledge Hammer”. It was like going back in time and bought back so many great memories. It is clear this was one of the many TV shows that had an influence on my sense of humor.

Another vintage TV show I picked up was Alf season one. I bought it for nostalgia and to see if they kids would like it and I discovered that I completely forgot how much I love this show. It was such an incredibly quirky concept for a TV show.

There has also been a flood of new DVD’s coming out.

I have been waiting since TV shows started coming out on DVD for The Weird Al Show, Brisco County Jr., and most of all Jack of All Trades; all of which are out now. Also I’m also planning to buy Animaniacs, and Arrested Development Season 3.

I bought Jack of All Trades. Let me tell you this series is a blast and didn’t get the attention it so highly deserved when it was on TV (they put it on Saturday afternoon and it never got a chance). Jack of all trades is part Moonlighting part Hogan’s Hero’s but really all so originally genius and bizarre.

If nothing else to see Vern Troyer (Mini Me in the Austin Powers films) as Napoleon and Bruce Campbell, one liners and all, at his best is worth the watch. How many comedy shows take place early 19th century post-revolutionary war? Huh? Huh?

I will eventually get Briso County as soon as I have some extra money or a kind soul buys it for me *wink* *wink*...yeah right.

To top it all off Weird Al has more stuff being released right now than he has in the last 4 years. More about that in the next post.
