Farscape Returns Tonight

Silverhammer writes "After a seemingly interminable winter hiatus, SciFi Channel's Farscape returns tonight with the first part (of four) of the Season Three finale. The 'Farscape Undressed' recap show starts at 8 pm EST, and the episode itself -- titled 'I Yensch, You Yensch' -- starts at 9 pm EST. Here is a spoilerific review." God it's about time. Debatably the best scifi on TV.

If you can be bothered to click past the merchandise and episode reviews (and you can deal with some Flash), you find out a bit more. Like that Jim Henson Productions is owned by EM.TV & Merchandising AG.

Look just a couple screens deeper and you find out that they're deeply involved in pushing digital rollouts and pay-to-view, from the story posted an hour earlier.

Due to media digitalisation, which is multiplying the number of stations and broadcasting platforms and the progressive establishment of Pay-TV and Pay-Per-View programs on offer, more and more market players from the areas of communications and the media are looking for high-quality children's and family programs. EM.TV has placed the majority of its portfolio under the umbrella brand Junior ... This umbrella trademark includes classics such as Pippi Langstrumpf ["Longstocking" in English] and up-to-date programs such as Pigs Next Door, which also have the potential to become classics... The Junior umbrella brand is being marketed nationally and internationally on various platforms. Using cooperation agreements with TV stations, the Junior program nowadays is being marketed in numerous countries.

Typical day at Slashdot, just like when you look see one story bitching about DVD encryption, DMCA and DeCSS followed by the next story about the latest geek-targeted DVD release (from AOL-Time-Warner or Sony) that everyone here has just gotta go out and buy.

Excuse me while I vomit.

woof.
