After I sampled the british original I had hoped for an american version and bingo it happened.
Not a doctor but it's my understanding female menstruation leads to some blood loss which in turn leads to some loss of iron. I'm guessing the male culture favors red meat more with fewer vegetarians.
I would prefer to see the rich tapestry of life that existed back then instead of the melodrama filler we'll probably be fed. I suppose tv sci-fi has its inherent limits simply because of the production costs.
I also recall a supernatural event from the old "Lou Grant" series (5x10 and free on Youtube) that starred the late Ed Asner. An alleged haunted house where I think a crime had been committed. I suppose there's more examples scattered out there.
A quick thanks for the information. As I was responding to you my television was on "Matlock" and I suddenly remembered that there was an episode from that series where a murder victim's spirit comes to Matlock asking him to uncover the truth surrounding his death.
My point is that a show like X-Files would naturally be expected to have its share of supernatural entities or events because it was clearly a fantasy or science fiction series whereas Midsomer is considered a straightforward crime series which occasionally includes supernatural entities and events. That makes it unusual. Did Murder She Wrote have actual entities or events of a supernatural nature or were they merely suggestive plot material? I never watched the show.
Is it alright if I slap myself on the back? Let's see how this turns out.
Perhaps you know by now that it currently pops up on FXM.
Thanks for the input.
Interesting. I didn't know they could do that.
I don't recall. I had assumed they simply changed it just to freshen up the introduction as many shows often do over time. I was unaware of royalty issues. Was the composer not getting fully paid or something?
Nothing earth shattering, just a pet peeve of mine over the years. I think the original tune in this case was altered rather than replaced with a new one.
I had to look up who Owen Jones was. I suppose the doppleganger game can cross gender lines as well.
Definitely another show influenced by the success of X-Files.
War of the Worlds.
It wasn't until the show premiered that I learned it was a based on a comic book and sampled it, so I understand where you're coming from. On the other hand I miss fun shows like Warehouse 13 and Eureka, so there's that.
I was really looking forward to seeing Batman on the big screen especially since Superman was dominating the big screen in those days. I went out of my way to avoid any articles or advertising about the movie since I wanted to see the final product in the theater. I had doubts about the selection of Michael Keaton for the lead role as he was known primarily for his comedy and didn't come across as a leading man action star. I personally would have chosen someone like Patrick Swayze (with shorter hair). I loved the Gotham City landscape and the monster batmobile. I enjoyed the performances though I felt that Prince's music in this movie amounted to ad placement. I had issues with Jack Napier (Joker) as the criminal who essentially fostered the creation of the Batman. I don't particularly care for interconnected story lines. THe original Joe Chill story worked for me.
Perfect.
If I recall correctly Earth in that movie was thoroughly drowned, so no, not that severe.
