TV Media: The Late Show with David Letterman, Death Note, Scare Tactics, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, American Gothic, Friday the 13th: The Series, The Simpsons, Frank Caliendo

Welcome to the ongoing mission of the TV media experiment; its goal of delivering fine television-themed entertainment in one convenient place continues. Still having fun? Are you there? There is no end in sight, the media does not know when to say when, it is relentless with its constant presence. The only way to satisfy it is to keep plowing ahead.

This is the third member of the media column family, joining movies and music. Each week I hope to bring a number of clips for you to view, perhaps some news, full episodes, and TV-on-DVD info. So, stick around, watch some TV, and have a good time!

The Late Show with David Letterman - John McCain

A couple weeks ago, John McCain pulled out of an appearance on The Late Show, saying he had to fly back to DC to deal with the economic crisis. Letterman later saw McCain still in New York and being interviewed by Katie Couric. This did not sit well with Letterman, who took McCain to task for the snub. Subsequently, McCain appeared on the show, here are some clips:


Death Note - "Rebirth"

I heard good things about this series and figured that it must be halfway decent, as it has spawned a pair of live action adaptations. I have now sampled the first episode, and it is indeed interesting. It centers on a high school student named Light who comes into the possession of a notebook labeled "Death Note." The notebook comes complete with instructions on how to use it to kill people. Believing it to be a hoax, he tests it, guess what happens? Well, if it didn't work, this would be a short series, no? We also learn that the book was lost by this demon/joker looking fellow. Guess I'll need to watch some more.


Scare Tactics - Episode 3.5

I am not much of a reality television fan. Actually, I fall perilously close to the "despise" line. So, why am I posting an episode of a Sci-Fi Channel reality series? Well, it is closing in on Halloween, so a show that specializes in scaring people seems to be an appropriate show to share with you. The series is hosted by Tracy Morgan who adds a touch of comedy.
