Kyle XY…another series to watch?

kylexy.jpgI’ve been intrigued by all the advertisements for the ABC Family show, “Kyle XY”. So instead of renting it, I just watched it from their website. It worked very well…no visible slowdown or catches or anything. I think maybe 2 commercials and a little pixelation issues but otherwise stupendous.

As for the show. Usually the first episodes of new series are seriously lacking. Not so with this one. It’s intelligent, humorous and weird. Weird in a good way though. Maybe it’s because I’m a father myself but I almost want to take him under my wing myself. It’s either the writing or the acting or the combination of the two that are what make it believable. It’s like watching my children growing up but in an accelerated manner.

So what does this mean for me? I guess I’m adding another series to my current list which includes Stargate SG-1, Charmed, 24, Star Trek: Voyager. Fortunately, I don’t have to rent these since it’s all online. Thank goodness for modern technology.

BSG Season 3 coming to DVD

bsg3.jpgI’ve been waiting for this moment for months. I’ve diligently been checking the SciFi forums (to my consternation since they don’t mind revealing spoilers and such) as well as Amazon.com for updates on the DVD release. So for those that must have their BSG fix check your stores on 18 March 2008.

I’m on of those nuts who wait until the DVD’s come out. I didn’t use to be that way but when SciFi moved Battlestar to the 11:00 PM slot, I just couldn’t continue. I may not be elderly but with 6 kids around…you get tired and you get tired early.

The new and final season of BSG starts April 4. Once I watch season 3, I’ll write about it.
