Firefly DVD Set Released
Richard M. Nixon writes "As previously reported the DVD set for Joss Whedon's ill fated Western/Space Opera is now available. The DVD has all 11 episodes that aired, 3 episodes that didn't air, commentary on 7 episodes, and lots of bonus features including Joss singing the Firefly theme. It would make a nice Christmas gift for any Whedon fan who has not already run out and bought it. If DVD Sales are good enough, could we see a second season?"

Is your karma really that important? Don't you have anything else to show for your life? You realize it's not real karma, don't you?
Have an opinion and stand by it.
Complexity is Easy. Simplicity is Hard.
But don't knock Elimidate. Don't set it up with Blind Date, 5th Wheel, or any other "reality" dating shows. Elimidate is a fine piece of production, and the host-less setting tosses you right in on the action. Its one of the only "reality" dating shows out there thats worth watching. Later seasons have gone towards promoting anger and argument which has been a little upsetting, but most of the show is still extremely well produced and edited. For the most part, thier "casts" are representative of the town they are in, albeit edged towards those with "tv-friendly" bodies. The content they discuss is often surprisingly relevent to real clubbing scenes, even if in an ironic way. The producers take themselves just as serious as they need to, and deliver much of the show with a wink of the eye. Yet they rarely bias against anyone, and never attempt to misrepresent an offhand comment to force edginess. If you go past the acting ability (or inability) of the purposefully amateur actors, and look at the show as a whole, you might notice what a fine piece of work it is!
