In a Larry King Mood Vol. II

This one is about TV & Movies kids. Monk and Nero Wolfe are the best detective shows on TV. Monk is just too funny and the stock company on Wolfe is so talented, especially Kari Matchett. They really make Rex Stout's stories fly off the page. I still can't get over Alton Brown's "Good Eats" on Food Network. It is the ultimate cooking show. It's "Cooking, How'd They Do That, Home Edition". "Popeye" on the Boomerang Network runs a lot of the old Max Fleischer cartoons and they have been colorized. The process really works with cartoons. Even the early colorized Warner Bros. they run look great. Ya' had a great idea there Ted. Casablanca was a bomb though. Ya didn't pay attention to the dialogue & got Ilsa's dress color wrong. Not to mention some Frank Sinatra film that gave him brown eyes. All those old colorized live action films looked like lobby card flip books. Fox, hurry up & get the new "Family Guy" episodes on, I'm jones'n. Is that how ya spell that? By the way, the new season of "South Park" has sucked so far. Plenty to offend but no humor or moral. What happend guys? Just on principal I don't want Rob & Amber to win the "Amazing Race". I was skeptical but Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Show" on CBS is surprisingly good. Even a little edgy. "Desperate Housewives" lives up to it's hype. Damn, Teri Hatcher still looks great. In fact ABC has a winner with "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition", It's sorta neet to watch 'em tear down & build a house in a week. Get your contractor to do that. Not to mention "Boston Legal" all on Sunday nights. There's your new "Must See TV". I love the NCAA March Madness. Not because I enjoy grown men in shorts that dribble, but because as soon as it's over, MLB begins. There just isn't enough pre-season baseball on TV. The weekly Bryan Singer video blogs on the filming of "Superman Returns" have been fun so far. All the sets look like they were cloned from the Richard Donner film. Seems he is being true to his word that "Returns" is an extention of that series. How weird, the way I thought it was set up in "Spider-Man II", Harry would become the Hobgoblin in #3. With the casting of Thomas Hayden Church as a new undisclosed super villan 'Hobby' will be left over for the next director & cast. I guess Spidey could fight 2 villans. I really hope some U.S. cable network will pick up the BBC's new version of "Doctor Who" and Leo Laporte's "Call For Help" from G4/TechTV Canada. I really miss 24 hour a day tech, and the good 'Doctor' should be fun atually using some real movie tech. The Daleks were scary but they couldn't climb stairs. Well, the James Bond producers have dumped Pierce Brosnan & want to go with a new, younger Bond in his first adventure, "Casino Royale". No "Q" no gadgets, but Judi Dench will still be "M". She's great, but the Bond films have never been good with continuity. Who do you think should be the new Bond? Several front runners pooh pooh the idea. Ewan McGregor, Julian McMahon and a few others are campaigning for it though. Not sure the new, no gimmick, less action, more realistic Bond will work. If those elements aren't present, is it still Bond? New trailers that make me want to see the films are, "The Fantastic Four", "Bewitched", "War Of The Worlds", "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe", "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" and "Batman Begins". The trailer that makes me want to avoid the movie, ""The Honeymooners". If it's not true to the original, just change the name & call it something else, because it ain't the "Honeymooners". April is gonna be great on Turner Classic Movies. Hugh Hefner will program a night of his favorite Bogart Films and it's comedy month. Laurel & Hardy kick things off on the first. All the Hope & Crosby "Road" pictures & all the Marx Brothers pics will follow. Charlies' Chaplin & Chase will be there. As will Mr. Arbuckle, Bud & Lou and more. Oh, let's not forget Larry, Moe & Curly. A nine hour marathon of their shorts will run April Fools Day on Spike TV. Nyuks to you!
