A quick programming note.
Lenora Claire and Justin Pearson, who have both been featured in When Falls the Coliseum‘s “Audio Files” column, will be on the Biography Channel‘s popular TV show My Ghost Story this Saturday. Please consult your local programming guides for the correct time!
And have an outstanding weekend.
Entertainment Weekly has a photo of the costume to be featured in the new Wonder Woman television pilot, written by David E. Kelley.
For a tightly-controlled character with a lot of licensing on the line, it actually doesn’t look that bad — although, it doesn’t top this fan designed outfit:
I’ve always thought that King of the Hill - an animated television series that followed the lives of a family, their neighbors, friends and co-workers in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas – should be required viewing for people, such as myself, coming from ‘someplace else’ to make their home in the Lone Star State. And there’s nothing like Texas Independence Day to stress that point … and to strengthen my bond with family man, propane man and quintessential Texan, Hank Hill.

NOTE: I’ve deleted the original contents of this post because I am tired of explaining satire, sarcasm, and dry humor to troglodytes and other sub-literate wastes of flesh.
In their place, I’m supplying a promotion of my friend Brian‘s recent book, whose title is now my default response to nearly everything and everyone these days.
Enjoy. May your personal misery index multiply one thousandfold.

New Year’s Day is an underrated holiday without a solid identity. Christmas has presents, Thanksgiving has food and football, Easter has brunch and church, and 4th of July has fireworks and hot-dog eating contests. But what does New Year’s Day have? [Read more →]
Recently while trying to sign in to my yahoo mail account I was greeted by this image:
That is an advertisement for a television program called “Southland,” which is apparently about Los Angeles police officers, and the difficulties they face in their jobs (actually, its official website bills it as a raw and authentic look at a police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, “Southland” is a fast-moving drama that will take viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families). Just look at those statistics: 11.9 crimes per officer! That’s a lot of crimes. Los Angeles must be full of, well, criminals.
It is. But mainly because Los Angeles has so many laws to break. And they’re about to get a whole lot more. 725 of them. Or, more than 730 of them. Depends on the source. [Read more →]
A couple of months ago a musical theater holy grail became available on DVD. Evening Primrose was made for television and broadcast at the end of 1966. It is based on a short story by John Collier with a teleplay by James Goldman, but most lovers of Broadway will be interested in the music and lyrics of a post-Do I Hear a Waltz?/pre-Company Stephen Sondheim. All Sondheim fans will want to see this fascinating DVD.
