I've got a deadline to meet, so not much here today. However, I'll have everyone's favorite new blogger, Doug Knipe, aka SciFi Guy, as my guest on Monday. He'll talk about his site and his love for genre fiction and also answer my silly questions. Doug also giving away an ARC of a hot new novel.
In my contest for a "Blood Ties: Season One" DVD set, everyone keeps raving about "The Dresden Files" series, based on Jim Butcher's novels. Michele Hauf, author of the newly released The Highwayman, has very generously offered to give away her own "The Dresden Files" dvds in a contest! I'll be running the contest next week. I hope Michele will answer a few questions about her latest books!
One show that I thought was too good to be canceled was "Dead Like Me." I just found out that a straight-to-DVD movie has been made and has just been released! Why didn't anyone tell me this? I loved Ellen Murth as the apathetic slacker teenager, George. The real surprise -- and a good one -- was Jasmine Guy as Roxy. Guy reinvented herself from a pretty, girly girl to a raw-edged, tough, sexy woman who I find much more interesting.
Christine Wells is absolutely hysterical as the too-chirpy, completely twisted Dolores Herbig. Wells also plays Gladys in "Reaper" and she's an utter delight to watch.
Here's a trailer for the DVD of "Dead Like Me," the movie.
GRATUITOUS VIDEOS OF THE DAY
We continue the theme of shows that were canceled before their time.
"Moonlight" fans, here's a GVD to Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) by MoonlightAddicted. You can watch the character eat a hot dog. In the immortal words of Patty Duke, "a hot dog makes some girls lose control."
I'm glad to see that others liked the supernatural drama, "New Amsterdam," too, starring Nikolaj Coster Waldau. This GVD to Coster Waldau is by PoetsNMadmen.
Joss Whedon's "Firefly" had so much potential and a really good cast.

Hi Marta!
I had forgotten about Showtime's Dead Like Me! I loved George and all the menial jobs she takes to survive. Reaping on the side. It really wasn't on long enough to get enough attention.
I also love the show, Reaper. It's just way too much fun.
I've also watched the show, Pushing Up Daisies, but I have a hard time keeping track of when it's on, the subplot of the show takes so many twists and turns, it's hard to keep up.
Dottie :)
