Friday, May 22, 2009 at 08:59PM If there's nothing on the big screen, I suggest you check out this wonderful old episode of "The Rockford Files" featuring the late Howard Duff. I once had lunch with him in Seattle (back when I was a TV critic). He was a class act. Enjoy.
Friday, May 22, 2009 at 08:53PM What if you could see the future because you blacked out, actually saw the future and then returned to your original state? Sound like the premise for a TV series? Make that, sound like a premise for a good TV series? Yep, I agree, it's a dumb idea. What is it with TV producers and writers who like to flash back, flash forward or just plain flash? I give this one three to five weeks before it gets the hook.

Still unclear as to the goal of Hulu's ad campaign. If it's to reach those who don't know anything about the service, the ads do little to explain the value proposition. If it's to reinforce the brand for those who already know about the premium content site, then it's fun yet pointless fluff.
Somewhere I'd like a message such as "Hulu is an online service that allows you to watch your favorite shows in their entirety in high quality from you PC (or Mac)." I can hear the resounding "Really, I never know that" come from Middle America who doesn't know Hulu from Vudu. I did like the Denis Leary ad, but that's only because I like Denis Leary.
