TV on the Net and TV on the Radio

I’ve gotten rather blog-happy in the last few days. There must be a lot to talk about. That, or I have nothing better to do.

On that note, CBS has full episodes of old shows available for viewing. Free. Best of all, full episodes of Star Trek. Yeah boyeee! As if I wasn’t busy enough getting sprinklers fixed and setting up our new nifty auto-bottom-loading-water-dispenser. Along with their newest shows (booo), they also have The Twlight Zone, The Love Boat, The Beverly Hillbillies, Family Ties (LOL), and Twin Peaks – to name a few. This is just the thing I need to help me get through the Summer TV Blues while waiting for Heroes to start, which BTW starts in September *hap hap happy*

Oh! And check this out! If you like The Twlight Zone (as I do), since 2002, producer Carl Amari (I had to look him up) has been creating radio versions of Twilight Zone episodes. They’re already done 130 out of 156 and utilize the talents of some well known (and not so well known) actors including Jason Alexander, Luke Perry, Blair Underwood, Jane Seymour, Mayor Adam West, Stan Freberg (AJB should love that), John Ratzenberger, and tons more. What a nifty idea. It’s playing everywhere on various stations except Los Angeles, but apparently it’s also available on XFM. You can also download individual episodes for under a buck.

Along with that, Amari is also producing new Twilight Zone episodes – or radio dramas in the “style” of TZ. Rod would be proud. Actually, Rod might not want to do something as arcane as radio dramas, but I think he’d dig the irony. I’m gonna listen to some…’cause that’s how I roll.
