I picked up MacGyver – The Complete Final Season from Best Buy the other day. This completes my collection except for the 2 made for TV movies which I figured would’ve been included with the final season’s episodes.

Sopranos on A&E
While I was watching Driving Force tonight and ordering the season 1 DVD, a commercial came on. I had the TV program minimized since it was at commercial but once I heard the music and heard Carmela’s voice, I switched back to the TV right away. I thought maybe it was advertising the Sopranos returning to HBO. So I went over to HBO’s website and there was nothing there. It turns out The Sopranos are coming to A&E in January of 2007. Now I don’t have to wait a year and a half to get my fix.
MacGyver
According to Amazon.com, MacGyver – The Complete Final Season comes out on October 24, 2006. This will be the seventh season that comes out to DVD. I could’ve sworn there were 8 seasons, not 7.
Driving Force
I just got done watching the first 2 episodes of Driving Force on A&E. The only complaint I have is that each episode is only 30 minutes long. I would rather see a full hour episode like some of the other reality shows on TV. If American Chopper and American Hot Rod can have hour long episodes, I don’t see why Driving Force can’t. Normally I don’t watch reality shows. I still have never bothered to watch an episode of American Idol. I’ll watch American Chopper and American Hot Rod if I’m flipping through the channels. This will be the first “reality show” I watch religiously and it’s partly because of the racing.
The Crow: Wicked Prayer
I was flipping through the channels earlier and came across The Crow: Wicked Prayer on the SCI-FI channel. This is the fourth movie in the Crow franchise and it’s the only one I hadn’t seen or own. I only caught the last 10 minutes and from what I saw, it sucks. This movie will, and probably should, put an end to any more Crow movies. From what I did see, Eddie Furlong (known as young John Connor from Terminator 2) looks like a drug addict when he’s painted as the Crow. David Boreanaz (known as Angel from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series) is not believable as a vilian. Tara Reid (from the first two American Pie movies) plays a witch helping out David Boreanaz’s character. They lost it entirely when they did this movie that they had to borrow ideas from the previous three. The first two Crow movies had a witch-type person helping out the villian in the movie. I’ve only seen the third movie once, so I can’t remember if there was one in that movie. The crow itself dies which is very similar to the second movie. The only difference is the crow is brought back to life. I tried to find this movie in Blockbuster when it was supposed to come out on DVD but could never find a copy. I’ll have to see if it comes on SCI-FI again and try to watch it from the beginning to get a better opinion, but if the whole movie is like the last 10 minutes, I’ll be changing channels after the first half hour.
2006 Indy 500
I just got done watching the Indy 500 and none of the drivers I would have liked to see win, did. I personally would’ve liked to have seen Michael Andretti win. If he couldn’t win then I would’ve liked to have seen Michael’s son Marco win. If neither Andretti could win, then it would’ve been nice to see Danica Patrick win. Michael could’ve won if Marco would’ve stayed behind him. Then it would’ve been Michael winning with Marco taking second place, which is what Mario Andretti said, before the race, he would’ve liked to have seen.
MacGyver Season Five
I went to Best Buy today to pick up MacGyver – Season Five. MacGyver – The Complete Sixth Season comes out June 13, 2006. That only leaves 2 seasons left until the complete series out on DVD. They seem to come out every 3 months so the 8th and final season should come out around Christmas time.
MacGyver Mastercard Super Bowl Ad
I was checking up on digg.com like I always do and came across a MacGyver Mastercard Super Bowl Ad. It starts off with Mac tied to a chair with a bomb counting down behind him. He breaks out of the rope using a pine tree air freshener which cost $1.29 on debit Mastercard. Then he slides down a rip cord using a tube sock that cost $4. And then finally hotwires a truck using a paperclip, ball point pen, rubber band, tweezers, nasal spray and a turkey baster which cost $14. The little things that get you through the day: PRICELESS. It was great seeing Richard Dean Anderson return to the character that lots of people know and love.
Super Commercials
I’ve been watching the 40 Greatest Super Bowl Commercials and they listed the Apple 1984 ad as number 3. Personally, I think it should’ve at least been #2, which went to Reebok’s Terry Tate ad.
Better Late Than Never
I was channel surfing when I came across The Movie Channel playing a commercial for The Crow (one of my all time favorite movies). Even though I’ve seen the movie a million times, I watched the commercial and at the end they said it was going to PREMIERE on Tuesday at 10. The movie has been out for 12 years (probably would’ve been 13 if Brandon Lee hadn’t died during filming) and they’re just premiering it now. Better late then never.
