I actually watched a new show last night, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," which I found all too predictable, & almost boring. I expect that I will watch the next few episodes, but hold very little hope for actually enjoying the show.

I really do not watch TV, except adult swim, & a few shows on H, Military, & Science, channels, & the old films on TCM; but I tape everything & zip through the commercials.

My brother insisted I watch the 1st Season of Heroes, and although I eventually came to like it, I was initially unimpressed by it. Now we are in the midst of the new Battlestar Galactica, which, despite having several annoying features, I find quite enjoyable. I just never check the listings for shows on the broadcast networks, I just find most TV shows too watered down to be interesting. Besides that, I get about 5 DVDs/week from Netflix, & prefer doing creative things rather than watching video all day long. Being retired is not as easy as you might think.

NEVER Jeffbert!!!! Never will I tell anyone what I saw in THAT program..

hi- do you think this is a series meant to try to get people to be wary of technology, sort of like a movie i seen where michael rennie played a cyborg sent from the future to stop a device from being used that would leave to enslavement of humans. wish i could remember the name of the movie. thanks- your friend tonigirl

You mean the pentagons favorite boy? The Rand corporation think tanks projective on future events in the cyber age?
Utterly suppressed and never shown? How old are you? Where did you see this film? It has not been shown in ages!
No one will ever stop Cybo!

This is the first I ever heard of this film, & I want to see it, even after reading a review on it:

Of course you do!!
The terminator is a direct rip off of that film! It's been suppressed for decades.
I wonder how that girl even knew about it??

hi- just seen it on a television station one day- thanks your friend tonigirl- hugs- please keep safe and saved everyone please

Ooops, I forgot to put the tape into the deck, & missed the 3rd ep. I guess I will just wait for s1 on DVD, if it ever merits it.

hi- hugs- i hope the new astroboy movie will follow the anime's direction and not be changed into something different. i hope uran will play a prominent role in the movie and add a cute feminine approach as astroboy's little sister. i hope they will not make this a terminator- type movie, unless astroboy is the target and his sister uran rescues him from the dark side by a little girl's innocent love for her big brother- knowing that he would never yield to evil- then astroboy arranges a way to stop the attacks for good. that would make a good movie for girls and boys to watch. the best to everyone- hugs and please keep safe and saved please everyone- i care -your friend tonigirl
