Hey, I missed tonight’s live show and so I’ve been refreshing the Boxcutters site on a minutely-by-minutely schedule. So far, no Challah! Whassup fellas? Some of us are hungry for it. Hope you had a good show (”good show everybody”, Sorkin style).

Jonesing now . . .

Over at TV Squad they’ve got Wil Wheaton doing reviews of the Star Trek Next Gen series. He’s just posted his look at Episode 1. It’s well worth having a read.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Encounter at Farpoint (Part I) (series premiere) — TV Squad

Boxcutters Europe office pointed me towards this article after listen to our show week.

I understand it is a difficult position for Nine, but promoting shows that have already been cancelled and therefore can’t run even half the series is pointless for the network and an insult to their audience.

Fox has cancelled the O.C.

Last ep to air in the states Feb 22nd and here presumably very soon after. Bad news for Ten. I wonder if they would have delayed screening the whole series till this year if they had known.

The Venice Project
https://www.theveniceproject.com/about.html

The Venice Projectâ„¢ is a new venture that combines the best elements of the TV experience with the most powerful internet technologies, in a way that will redefine the way people think about television. It is not a file-sharing application or a video download service.

I think it’s worth keeping an eye on this one. I also think Brett doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The way these guys created Skype used existing technologies in a way that nobody else had thought of. They are innovators and I’m quite excited about what they’re building with regard to TV. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

It’s Episode 67 - Choc full of fun-o-rama and excitment.

Why’s that you ask? Well, just take a look at this.

There’s a Crap TV, the return of Raywatch, an I Don’t Buy It, a look at the continued fizzing of The Apprentice, some suggested websites to peruse, News and a tiny serving of Pork (we figure you’re probably all still full after Christmas) all packed into an airtight 45 minutes of happy, smiley gooeyness.

We should have posted this earlier in the week but here it is now so deal with it. For those who are looking for Brett’s Special Fancy to work around the location issues with streaming content from us websites, you can find the instructions here.

Sorry for the delay.

The “Doctor Who” spin-off series “Torchwood”, will make its way onto Australian screens in 2007 on the ABC.
Torchwood tells the tale of a secret organisation which looks into strange and Alien goings on in Cardif. This new series brings back some familiar faces. John Barrowman reprises his role as “Captain Jack Harkness” a short term companion to the Doctor and Rose and will head up the team, while Eve Myles “Gwen Cooper” and Naoko Mori “Tosh” both get full casting after bit parts in Doctor Who.
