Supernatural also manages to be one of the most violent shows on TV too. It's surprising how much they get away with sometimes.

Maybe not violent in terms of “blood everywhere” like The Walking Dead, but the scene from the episode The Kids Are Alright with the table saw is still one of the more memorable scenes of violence I’ve ever watched on network or cable TV.

What was the other low-budget Canadian vampire detective series from the 1990s? Had C. Thomas Howell in it? Lasted about eight episodes before it was cancelled?

Kindred: The Embraced. Based off of the White Wolf RPG.

I think I read somewhere that it's the most-watched show in the world, or at least one of the most-watched. Gets something like a quarter of a billion viewers. The BBC has three big international series and Top Gear is the biggest a country mile.

I would imagine one is the show we can't name here. What's the other? Sherlock?

And to keep it on topic - USA has some of the NHL playoffs this year. Might be the biggest network in a while to carry the NHL, too bad there's probably no NCIS/SVU reruns/hockey fan demographic crossover.

USA, actually. RAW is their highest rated show bar none. It was two hours long until USA threw enough money at WWE to make it a three hour show (with a noticeable drop in quality) and now they're throwing money to turn Smackdown from a taped Friday show on SyFy to a live Thursday one on USA.

Besides files, does anyone know where I can see some of the Drew Carey Era, the previous Ayesha Tyler season, or the U.K. Stuff from when I was little, Besides those two seasons on Hulu? Or is it basically not anywhere other than files?

Youtube is your best bet for the Anderson/Carey years. People don’t upload full episodes that I’ve seen, but there’s a lot of “Best Of” or “Compilation” clips/videos. Anytime I’ve gone “huh, I remember that bit/joke,” I’ve been able to find it on Youtube.

Thanks to whoever posted that Youtube channel with links to all the introductions/opening credits to 70’s and 80’s shows. There was some shows in there I’ve never even heard of, like Brothers and Sisters which looked like a knock off of Animal House, Billy with Steve Guttenberg, and some cop show called 240-Robert with a young Mark Harmon…

The 1985 ABC Preview promo is worth the price of admission, with Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” redone into “It’s On ABC” hyping up Diff’rent Strokes moving to ABC to be shown alongside Webster and Benson and some LA buddy cop show that was a complete rip-off of Beverly Hills Cop down to using the exact same Glenn Frye song. And let’s not forget the premiere of Growing Pains…

This preview is what counted as a hype trailer/sizzle reel THIRTY YEARS ago.

I would shell out for a Danny Trejo/Jeffrey Combs/Tom Savini picture in a heartbeat.

Even then, I never got the appeal behind taking a picture with a celebrity, especially paying for one. Sure, it makes someone whose work you enjoy a buck or two, but it seems just a bit…assembly line? Hello, smile, flash, goodbye, move on.

And yeah, those prices seem excessively high. $130 bucks for a picture with Norman Reedus?

As someone who is new to the wide world of conventions, thanks for linking the article. It's incredibly eye-opening. I've only been to a handful of them, all relatively smaller local ones around DC, and they strike me as a lot further from that "cattle call" style.

It also explains the look on celebrities' faces and all those hover hands.

The BBC just did a fantastic version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. The cast is full on amazing (it includes Charles Dance, Aiden Turner, Burn Gorman, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens, Noah Taylor), the way its shot is beautiful and the story is as great as it's always been. I never think much of our costume dramas but this was a great watch and worth tracking down if you can find it.

Oh my...that sounds fantastic.
