SEPT. 4, 2009: Fox adds on-air tweets to `Fringe’ reruns

NEW YORK — Summer reruns are ho-hum television, but Fox is trying out a possible solution: Add Twitter.

On the network’s repeat broadcast of its supernatural drama “Fringe” on Thursday night, tweets were added on-screen to the show. The tweets (messages of 140 characters or less from the microblogging Web site Twitter) ran throughout the show on the bottom third of the screen…

June 19, 1995: Sci-Fi Channel Allows ‘Chats’ While a Show Is in Progress

We know that science-fiction pioneers — at least since “Star Trek” — have a mission to boldly go where none have gone before.

That’s what the Sci-Fi Channel is trying to do by letting computer users “chat” about a television program in progress and watch their comments scroll along the bottom of the TV screen almost simultaneously as the program unfolds…

"you’re not saying you bought evan rachel wood as the vampire queen of new orleans? i wouldn’t even buy her as the dairy queen of new orleans."

– me, about an hour ago, on twitter, re: the penultimate episode of season 2 of true blood.

yeah, right

"if anybody thinks [bringing summer glau onto dollhouse] hasn’t occurred to me already then they have not met me…summer would be perfect to play an active, but she’s done that [type of role] a lot. i’d rather see her play someone who talks too much. the most fun i have is when i get somebody who’s good and comfortable at doing something, and then i make them do something else."

- joss whedon, to entertainment weekly

echo and cameron, sittin' in a tree...

memo to joss: i know you love girls who kick ass. i do too. but kicking ass is not the same as having range. i mean, it’s not like smg has proven to be the second coming of meryl streep.

get some help, quickly. find someone whose casting instincts you trust. maybe j.j. abrams. ask them if they would stake their primetime network series on the proposition that summer glau posses some secret character actor skills no one has heretofore detected. go, ask. i’ll wait.

dollhouse got a very unlikely 11th hour reprieve, despite the fact that the smart and lovely eliza dushku has slightly less range than jiminy cricket. please don’t double down on glau.

"san francisco is a real city. seattle is a real city. la is a city that was swallowed whole by its suburbs, which then regurgitated little bits of undigested city all over itself."

this restaurant makes no sense. to clarify: bistro is a french word for an informal restaurant pasta is an italian word, literally “paste” but understood to mean a noodle-type foodstuff customarily boiled or, occasionally, baked grill is a method of cooking in which food is held over a flame via spaced metal rods or an open metal lattice i figure the guy who owns this place must have come up with the name after a night spent with a bottle of tequila and a food-themed set of poetry magnets.

lalasaba: Bouncing through Times Square to meet Sean to see Blithe Spirit, I was struck by this statue.  He reminded me of a picture I had taken while out in Arizona. Same idea, totally different world. As for Blithe Spirit, even though its still in previews we predict it will be DOA. (March 6) what she said. the cast was either too old or too disinterested to muster the slightest bit of sexual tension or chemistry. it fizzled where it should have sizzled.  a slight caveat: the bluehairs in the audience seemed more charmed (or perhaps star-struck) by the production than we did.
