24, Arrested Development, Firefly, Family Guy, Futurama, Sex and the City, Miami Vice, etc. The list goes on and on and on. If you haven't already figured out these are TV shows given the silver screen treatment. And now, you can add Veronica Mars to that list - maybe. EW.com's Michael Ausiello reports that he had a meeting with Rob Thomas to discuss the plans for a new Veronica Mars movie.
"It's very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate," adds Thomas, referring to his two ABC projects, a reworking of his '90s dramedy Cupid and an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune. "But as soon as I have any free time, that's my top priority."
Former soul singer and voice of Chef on South Park, Isaac Hayes, passed away on Sunday at the age of 65. Hayes provided the voice of Chef from the shows inception in 1998, until 2006 when he quit to the show due to an episode which poked fun at Hayes' personal relegion Scientology.
But this site's doing the entire deal online instead of setting up a festival space with live showings. While I find myself watching lots of streaming TV - the concept here seems somewhat hit and miss. I'm willing to sit down on my PC and watch those shows online because I

Is HBO desperate for another hit drama? Sure seems like it. After the end of The Sopranos, they haven't been able to secure another one like it, with many of the shows they debuted over the past year cancelled. So maybe it's not so surprising that they're returning to New Jersey for another crime show, and they're not messing around this time—they're bringing in Martin Scorsese.
Did you know that John McCain had a cameo in the fifth season of 24? Me neither! And I watch that crappy show religiously. I'm sorry, but 24 and I are like Tyrone Biggums and crack cocaine.

Anyone who's seen the second season of Spaced (and now that it's finally on R1 DVD, there's no excuse not to) knows Simon Pegg's feeling on the Star Wars prequels. Like many, he was disappointed to the point of hatred; but unlike other geeks, he had a TV show to vent his frustration on.
