New Firefly Syndication Run

In case you haven't heard, Firefly will be "returning" to cable, as it enters its newest leg of syndication on the Science Channel. (Please note that is the Science Channel, and not Sci-Fi, or SyFy, or any other weird spelling of the same.)

What's cool about this iteration, as reported by Entertainment Weekly, is that each episode will have bumpers from noted physicist Dr. Michio Kaku in which he discusses the actual theories behind the cool, futuristic, space-y stuff you see on the screen. Neat, huh?

So check it out this Sunday, March 6th for the two hour pilot at 8/7c, followed by the second episode, "Train Job," at 10/9c. Yes, that's right - they are airing the series in its intended order. The show has also been updated to be broadcast in High-Def, for those of you rich enough to afford the viewing expierence. (As for the airtime each Sunday after that - well, I'm as in the dark as the rest of you. Hopfully the Science Channel will let us know during the airing on the 6th.)

Naked Reference: Evaluating Community's BNL Joke Against The Show's Pantheon

Last night, Community made the potentially explosive move of using Canadian alt-rockers The Barenaked Ladies as the basis of a joke. (I wrote about the episode itself here.)

The Witty Wisdom of Jon Stewart: Feb 2, 2011

While it is in no way revelatory to say that Jon Stewart is one of the most important voices in television today, given the daily nature of his program, it can be difficult to catch the truly important moments. However, now that The Daily Show has returned to Hulu, I have taken it upon myself to catch all episodes, and to share any spectacular segments here on this blog.

But first, some rules. You may disagree with anything I post here, and respond in the comments section. However, all disagreements must be well thought out. No personal attacks or spewing of empty party rhetoric. Any comments which break these rules will get deleted. 

Enjoy.
