[...] you remember back in August we reported that Eleventh Hour was one of the most expensive shows ever made. $4 mil for the pilot and $2 mil per episode and they were committed up to at least 13 episodes. [...]

Mega Maggie: I NEED medicine after trying to watch the show.

I particularly noticed in the show (Yes, I forced myself to watch it again) that almost every time someone asked them who they were their only answer was that they were there to help.

Not to mention that for the most expensive television show ever, the best ad campaign they can come up with is:

It’s a show Gil Grissom would like.

Give me a break.

And yet, it beat Life on Mars in ratings in the 2nd week for the shows. Egads!

OK, I’m done Ranting about the Screen.

Thanks for coming by Maggie.

The medicine in the 11th hour Resurrection episode is terrible. Not the cloning part, the pregnancy part. It ruined it for me. You don’t let a woman who is placenta previa that has ruptured run around the city for how long? If it is the baby you want from her. Jeez.

My Bro works on the set of the “Eleventh Hour”. Hmmm, I’ll have to check back here for your comments after it airs on October 9th.

I’ve already tuned in to “Fringe” at the suggestion of a friend. Liked the limited commerical interruptions!

Chow for Now…

Thanks for that info, Steven the Git,,,

Hey Btw I started watching Cassern last night but I was a little too buzzed and I wanted to really understand it, so I put it on hold I’m gonna try and get back to that tonight.

So far the film is visual stunning,and if you can handle subtitles its pretty damm good.

I’ll hope to have a mini review up on Open Disscusion soon.

Patrick: Finally…

I was waiting for someone to come up with that one. Technically, the roles she played are credited off as different movies, but I was wondering when someone was going to catch onto that.

Sorry, no prize, unless you like NASCAR racing diecasts. (I got too many of ‘em and I gotta get rids of them before the wife finds out!)

Well first it isn’t BBC, it was on a commercial channel, ITV. Not sure how that affects things.
I just had a look about and can’t find anything either.
However, just had a look on Youtube, and besides lots of features for this new version, there is one trailer for Patrick Stewart’s one. The trailer ends on showing a dvd so it is out there, somewhere.
The show was done in january 2006 and was just four episodes. A mini-series. No idea why they didn’t do more.

Oh, one other thing on this new version. Stewart played a scientist who had made enemies, thus needing a bodyguard. Sewell seems far to young to have done much as a scientist, let alone become infamous.

Just checked the local dvd store and the BBC version of Eleventh Hour is not availible on dvd.

I would have rather had Patrick Stewart in the lead. I don’t see a lot of staying power with this cast. – Stark

Like most times, I’m sure my 7 year-old will win out and if I want to watch anything it’ll be on the 13-inch tv in my office instead of the 56 inch in the living room. ANd no … she doesn’t rule the house, just the TV

Rob: Understood.

790: I get where you’re coming from, but if I have to be careful not to go down that road of thought.

My naturally depressed state of being can very easily sh**can every single movie and tv show out there with the same observation / expectation.

I have to focus on how they bring us the same tale, but with what colored lenses to watch it through: IE: presentation, actors, story twists, etc. Otherwise I’d just lay down and wait for all entertainment to end!

Sorry, that’s the ‘polar’ of my bi-polar mood talking.

Hey Bruce, I make note of the script and Acting being poor. I’ve seen every episode and while some actors I think are incredible, I think some of the leads are horrendous. And that’s not just in delivering dialogue, its facial expressions and emotions.

I think the question is witch network will give their show a chance to pick-up an audience. I smell another “Journeyman”,,,

Fringe, looks horribly average and suffers from a bland no-name cast. (could care less that Abrams posse is doing this). Its classic Abram’s lifting another idea, changing it around a little and putting his little name on it. (So tired)

Eleventh hour, seems like another CSI type show and I absolutly hate CSI shows.
Here’s the CSI/Murder She Wrote/Matlock/ formula,,,
(Show the murder/crime, see the cops at the scene, solve the case). Weeeee
Another hour of your life is killed off.

I’ll pass on both these shows,,,
I’ve allready seen 9 years of X-files and I have a crapload of dvds I still have to watch.
