Deja Vu All Over Again

There's an old saying that says those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Unfortunately, the temptation of a built in audience is too great to shy away from remaking a popular series or movie... no matter how many times they have fallen flat. The new Knight Rider, anyone? And so we have the remake of Charlie's Angels that is in development at the moment. Assuming the pilot is picked up, this could be a series this fall.

Nostalgia and Recs....

I'm back with a little rec for everyone out there. I was browsing online and came across the blog Brilliant but Cancelled on Television Without Pity. This post (and many of the others) brought back a lot of memories for me. It's amazing how many really quirky and interesting shows end up not lasting more than a few episodes (::cough::Wonderfalls::cough::) while other cookie cutter shows last years beyond their sell-by date. Ah well... there's always DVD releases right?
