TV is crap, I agree with you on that. Go and watch "The Return of the King" it is completely phenomenal! Hope you feel better Wil!

TV is awful. At some point I'm going to become one of those annoying people who gets really pretentious and always talks about the fact they don't own a TV. :) It'll be awesome.

LoTR ROCKS!
Battle of the Network Stars... when television REALLY sucked.

Of course you'll act again. I have a feeling this Neverland movie is going to be really good for you. Besides you're an awesome writer who needs Hollywood! Get better, ride the wave of fever ;)

MTV is showing The Newlyweds in Australia, too. I've managed to catch a couple of episodes and find myself inexorably drawn in by the whininess, insecurity and straight-out dumbness of Jessica Simpson. Here she is, successful (more or less), beautiful, talented (in a painful, Top 40 radio kinda way) and all she can bother about is bitching to hubby about where to put the TV and going to auditions for dancers in his new video to make sure the girls aren't "too hot" for Nick to handle.
My god, I WISH SO MUCH I could even get SciFi Channel in Australia.

I really hope you do act again in a major work, cuz everytime the production is good, you kick ass...even a great actor can't save a mediocre-to-tired piece from semi-to-full-blown disaster. Who knows, maybe you're too real to ever really fit into a clik-based system of phony "I'm better than you" stars, but talent is what people go to movies and watch shows to see, truth be known. A halfway intelligent crowd wants to feel the joy and the pain of the character which the actor skillfully interprets. I hope you act again soon, and get paid like Keanu for it. Much Holiday joy and happy, money-filled new year!

Good TV: http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/worldpoker/tour.html

Slightly less good TV: http://www.bravotv.com/Celebrity_Poker_Showdown/

This stuff is what TiVo is for.

Wil,how are are you going to end your day?Perhaps going out on the porch and yelling at those damn neighbour kid's to "GET THE HELL OFF MY DAMN LAWN"! heh

Yeah, I'd agree overall about the quality of TV. On the otherhand, and I'm sure I'm going to get laughed off the 'net, but I really like Survivor.

I find it a very interesting sociological study; during the first half, everyone works as a team, and therefore votes off the the weak players. Throughout the second half, people play for themselves (overtly, now), so everyone votes off the strong, threatening players. In the end, it's not the best or smartest or strongest player who wins, but the person who is in the 75-percentile for all of those qualities.

An interesting comment on how our society works, and in some ways it makes it a little clearer how we could possibly have ended up with the president that we now have.

Feel better, man

Well... I hope you don't miss another exciting edition of Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo tonight. Sure, the poker is bad... but it's still poker on TV!

I wish I had time to watch the LOTR DVDs for FOTR and TTT before tonight.

We're going to see ROTK tonight at the Arclight/Cinerama Dome and I can't help but to feel like I need a refresher from the last one...

I've never watched The Newlyweds, but I do like the recaps written by wonderful Shelleyness!!

http://www.shelleyness.com/archived/archives/newlyweds_archive.html

Dude, if you hate TV, buy a TiVo. You could have been watching 20 episodes of the Simpsons and The Daily Show instead of the crud that's on in the middle of the day.

Go. Now!

http://www.tivo.com

The Newleyweds rock!! I can't beleive you could be so closed minded!

she may be as dumb as the day is long, or as dim as a box full of burnt out lightbulbs, but she's going to gross $20 million in 2003.

god bless america.

The main reason why I refuse to get cable is because of the lack of quality shows. I loved television in the 70's and 80's (especially TNG *drool*). And when I did have cable, MTV actually showed *gasps* music videos.

And yes, TTT extended rawxs. Still drooling over Viggo in make up. I still haven't seen RotK yet. Hopefully before the year is up (only a few days left). But either way, I'm getting the extended version of that too to add to my collection when it's out.

I know not of these shows of which you speak.

For this, I am most grateful.

I am going to make toast.

I got this off of moviemistakes.com concerning the lotr dvd
HIDDEN BONUS MATERIAL on the Special Extended DVD Version: There are two secrets on the discs containing the film, one on each disc. Go to the scene index on either disc, scroll down to the last scene (either 'The council of Elrond' or 'Official fan club credits'), then scroll down one more time. On the first DVD, a little ring will appear next to the line 'new scene'. Click Enter. This leads to an introduction by Peter Jackson and an MTV parody on the council of Elrond, which isn't suitable for children. On the second DVD, the silhouettes of Barad Dur and Orthanc appear in the downright corner of the screen. Click Enter, and you'll see another introduction by Peter Jackson, and the Two Towers cinematic preview trailer: the one played in theatres after the Fellowship of the Ring, towards the end of its running period.

Get a TiVo. Happiness will ensue.

And, you can get a WishList...to yourself! Like so:

Hey Wil, I got a +4 on Slashdot today by mentioning your audition for "I, Robot" in an article about the movie. The post was at 5 but apparently some mods are anti-Wil, or maybe they just didn't like the fact that I made a typo. Anyway, check it out here:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=90322&cid=7794056

That URL is displaying weirdly in preview... hope I don't fux0r things up here. If I do, my bad.

OMG! Farrah Fawcett! What a babe! (I watched BoNS this afternoon too.)

TV sucks much. Was once stuck watching MTV for 3 hours (my dad's house, I was stuck with his teenaged step-son thing). I actually felt my IQ drop 10 points.

The one thing I really brought out of watching an episode of Newlyweds was how bad I feel for that idiot's husband. In the one I watched he was trying to do all this really sweet shit for her and she was just mucking it all up.

One show I did kinda like recently was when you were hosting Arena.

Very little is worth watching on TV these days. Pretty much all the good sci-fi is on DVD, and all the anime shown on TV is edited to death.

I agree with everyone else, very little is good on TV these days. So the question is: why do we keep watching it?

Thank goodness for the History Channel, Discovery, TLC, Foodnetwork, and HGTV...at least there are a few somewhat intellectually stimulating shows here...Oh and thanks to Spike for the many TNG reruns! =^)

As for the stupidity comment, here's a scary thought...

Think of how stupid the average person is, then, by the law of averages, more than half the population is even more stupid than that guy.

I totally agree with your review of the Two Towers extra material. I just watched both discs yesterday and I must say that they rock! I also enjoyed the Return of the King.

I saw an interview of Peter Jackson yesterday (on the net) where he said that the DVD version of Return of the King would be 5+ hours long. I can't wait... :-)

Your timing is pretty bad. Daytime TV sucks, and this time of the year aint so good either.

Big shiny exceptions for this year:
- Clone High was, for the one season it lasted on MTV, spectacular, before it was shut down by skittish advertisers.
- The Joe Schmoe Show. Like most, I'm absolutely sick of reality TV shows. But the Joe Schmoe show, with its elements of reality tv, was a nearly perfect parody of all the mainstream ones. I'm torn on whether or not I want to see a second season. It was an excellent concept, but what really made it gripping to watch was the fantastically naive, perfect nice-guy, Matt Gould. If they can find another like him, a second season will be welcomed graciously.

Hopefully both will hit DVD/P2P soon. Make every effort to watch them.

TV Sucks Ballz.

Wil, good to know that you're feeling a wee bit better. :^) By the way, loved that 'Unscrewed' preview. Unfortunately I won't be able to see the episode since I don't have Tech TV here. :^(

Yup, daytime TV sucks big time. Luckily there still are some good cable channels out there. DVDs are always a good thing.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I was still in high school when Jessica Simpson's first album came out and I ended up loving her stuff, so I've watched a lot of Newlyweds. Her mother spoiled her rotten and literally did everything for her. Laundry, roomcleaning, everything. And the girl had a record deal at 14 and was always in and out of hotels for her teen years.
She literally went from having everything done for her by her parents and record company, to moving in with her husband.
So yeah, its understandable yet kinda sad, pathetic and annoying how much she doesn't know. Like, sometimes I might have wondered about that chicken of the sea thing, since I don't eat tuna anyway...but I wouldn't have said anything out loud!
LOL.
And dude, watching TTT EE is like, the best way to spend a day at home sick.
Those movies as well as watching the cast and crew interact is what keeps me interested in wanting to be a filmmaker. The camraderie that they seem to have is part of my dream.
I'm glad it's not just fangirls like that me that hold the opinion that working with a group of people that's like another family to you is one of the best parts of working in "the business." Wow....don't mind me for like, writing a novel at you in comments, heh.

They ought to do a Trek Celeb. poker showdown.
That'd be even cooler than that Weakest Link show.

Yes TV sucks in general, but all the movies I can never afford to see I see on tv. Of course I am occationally lucky enough to see movies on the theater. I watch movies late at night. Also occationally when I am in insomnia mode I watch tv because its mindless. My eyes are too weary for reading or sitting in front of my computer so I watch tv for the mindless quality. I like to watch cartoon network for that. Late night cartoon is usually better than daytime as well. Boomerang is good for classic cartoons. Well what they call classic which are alot of the cartoons that were on when I was a kid and some that are older than me. Makes me feel a bit old though LOL. SciFi occationally does have a good show or two on.

By the way do not ever show a contrary opinion on any show they have because its a quick way to be banned from the site. LOL

Later People,

Beth

You've just struck on why I don't have TV. I refuse to pay money for the crap they show.

But i'm 21 and I can't cook either. :( My mom never let me in the kitckeb, she was neurotic.

TV sucks.... thats why people have DVD players and VCRs. Check out these movies:

Rubin and Ed (1991)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Boogie Nights (1997)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

I got sucked into watching Newlyweds by a friend. I do feel bad for Nick. I didn't like him from what I had seen before the show but he seems like a pretty intelligent guy. How he can stand being around someone who says such dumb shit on a daily basis is beyond me. And he defends her by saying "well, if you were on TV, you would say some dumb things too". Uh, obviously he doesn't, so why would I?

Okay, now I hate to point this out, cause I ain't too keen on Jessica Simpson either, but... Wil your famous, what are you speciality dishes? The only thing I can sort of stomach on daytime TV is Ellen Degeneres show, but that's only if I work hard to surpress my gag reflex.

OH, glad to hear you're feeling better, dude. Good Luck with the house full of relatives.

I sure hope Jessica Simpson isn't that stupid. I'd like to think that it's an act or something. Really, I do. She sure is nice on the eyes though. That part doesn't take many witts.

Wil, you need a TiVo in a big way. Once it starts learning what you like you will never watch crap TV again. It takes it a bit to learn, but after a week or so you will never even know that Anna Nicole is on TV. If it wasn't for Fark, I would not even know she had a show - all because of TiVo.

Oh, and as a bonus I have not seen a commercial on purpose in three years. Fast forward is veddy nice. So is pause when your phone rings or you have to go to the bathroom. I haven't missed a single lap of a F1 race yet because of that feature.

I just bought Neverland and am watching it now.

Oh and by the way, get well soon! *chicken soup mojo or something of that sort*

Good to hear you are getting better, Wil. When I have to stay home sick, my favourite daytime viewing includes two back to back episodes (on different channels) of TNG. Unfortunately, a terrible side effect of the flu bug seems to be that I have a pre-disposition to double episodes of Dawson's Creek on TBS. How sick do you have to be to watch that? (Please, no one answer that one.) Anyway, please do get well soon and have a great Christmas with your family.

It's true that most TV today sucks majorly, but as you mentioned some shows like twilight zone (There's a 48 hour marathon every new years's day :-) make it worthwhile. Sort of. . .

TiVo dreams = another chance to get your penguin on.

Wil, if you decide you need more control over your set, TiVo would work but open-source would be so much more fun. That's what I am doing to celebrate getting done with my PhD thesis in the next couple of months (at most). I have a themed blog going (click the name) but since I am not yet running you might want to whet the appetite at MythTV.org.

Jessica Simpson is hot--regardless of her ability to cook.

I think the actors must have had a great time in NZ filming LOTR.(night shoots excluded!)I've wanted to visit there for a long time.-SR

Yup.. Jessica Simpson sucks. Why would anyone want to know about her married life?? Why, oh why?
Seriously, with so many horrible things going on in the world, that silly girl should thank God, shut up and never show herself in public again.. woa.. got carried away.. Hehehe! yes, TTT is AWSOME :)

I had the opportunity to meet Billy Boyd (Pippin), Elijah and Dominic (Merry) in person last year, when I was working in the production of Master and Commander. They all said filming LOTR was an extreme experience, and what's more, they all became real friends, the friendship between all of them is fantastic, or at least, it seems that way. By the way, Billy is the nicest one of the "Hobbits".

yes, there is alot of BAD TV out there...

if it wasn't for the re-runs of M.A.S.H.

just about anything of T.V. LAND....

or some show called...

"NEXT GENERATION OF STAR TREK"

STARRING WIL WHEATON

and most of what's on THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL
AND THE LEARNING CHANNEL

I would go crazy...

AS FOR FILMS... WE'VE GOT

Peter Pan, Big Fish & Cheaper by the
Dozen coming out soon...

Timeline was very good

HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER WIL

MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wil, tng is still the best thing since sliced bread, and why did they cut you out of nemisis??? anyway, the point about art mimicing life or life mimicking art makes an interesting point about the progression of art in an era of habitually socializing the youth to be generally uncultured. i wonder, with you, if jessica simpson isn't the most stupid person on the planet. so if art depicts life we are all that stupid, but if life depicts art then only the select few pathetically blond, b-list bubble gum pop, rediculously overpaid, perverters of society are that stupid. i perfer the latter. but we still must wonder.

Smitty

You're right, TV _does_ suck. The only channel I watch anymroe is Cartoon Network (sad, I know), and sometimes SpikeTV to get my TNG and WWE fixes.

You know, maybe being sick and watching hour after hour of horrible TV is a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it will inspire you to pen a premise for a TV show that _doesn't_ suck. Maybe one about how TV these days sucks?

Merry Christmas to you, Anne, the boys, and even the pets! You'll survive the holiday family invasion, I'm sure...

Jessica Simpson is hella hot baby! However, I have doorstops with more intellect and the booby err beauty bit don't last. Nick's in it for the body because it's obvious that even he gets annoyed as hell with her.

TV? it is what it is and has sucked the big one for as long as I can recall. There are bright spots sure but for the most part it's crap, crap and more crap. Ahhh but people keep watching and so the crap keeps on a coming,

Merry merry and all the best in '04 good people and to Wil (get better soon). :)

mate, try uk tv.
it sucks /all/ the time....
good channels, sky one (and plus) (lots of trek and buffy and stargate), sci fi channel for dodgy b-movies, hallmark for quality series and older repeats- diagnosis murder, quincy and dr quinn for examples...
um... and then the history channel occasionally...

Yep, Network TV channels (and most cable networks as well) have terrible programming. All of those new retarded Reality Based TV shows take the cake though. I watch movies most of the time and if I do watch TV it is one of the Discovery Network Channels. I watched 2 really good films recently, LOTR: ROTK which was a great ending to the trilogy and 21 Grams, which I thought was a very good movie.

I saw that teh suX0rs Shattner was on the show,

I therefore boycott on principle.

TV does suck! I think I am the only 24 year old female in my town that REFUSES to watch The Newlyweds. It just makes my gut wretch to watch that kind of stupidity and sheer laziness.

Well, on a completely unrelated note, I hope that you are feeling better soon! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

We've had good luck in our house pulling the plug on the TV. A year or so back, I dropped cable. To get my kids on board with that, I used some of the monthly savings to raise their allowance. Where I live, if you don't have cable, you get nothing, nada. Not having cable has worked out well. We still watch videos, renting some, and buying those that we really like, but our watching is now much more of a planned thing involving some forethought. None of us watches TV anymore by default, and that's been good for us.

Sadly, I've witnessed a few episodes of Newlyweds. In my personal opinion, we of the "huddled masses" find this show hypnotic to prove once and for all that fame and fortune, usually something we're envious of, does not make someone who has it better than us. Watching Jessica Simpson act as a shallow, insecure, and dimwitted woman seems payment enough to most of us who will never have her money and "status." Whether it's all a shrewd PR engineered ploy or her true character, it reinforces to me that my path in life is significantly more fulfilling and worthwhile. I think it makes watching all the "beautiful people" easier to take as they rake in all our hard earnings. Hey, she's rich and beautiful...but at least I'm not that stupid.

I don't know why exactly, but Newlyweds is the one celebrity "reality" show that really kind of sucked me in. Well, that and The Surreal Life.

Mostly, I avoid that stuff. I think part of it is that her husband seems like a pretty decent guy. He seems like the kind of guy who would show up and help you move to a new apartment if you were friends. He's not the kind of guy you'd sit in a cafe and discuss Michael Manley's attempts to implement democratic socialism in Jamaica with, but hell, there aren't many of us around. :)

And really, I can kind of sympathize with the notion of being in my early 20s, meeting some incredibly hot chick, and then finding out that the only way she'd sleep with you is if you'll marry her. I guess the difference between us is that I have friends who would have prevented me from going through with it.
Well, that was a kind of scary revelation, wasn' it?

Sorry to hear that you are sick--I have been the same way for over a week now and it sucks. I can't remember the last time I've been sick for so long.

Funny, I've also spent a lot of time bonding lately with the extended versions of LOTR. Will hopefully get to see ROTK after Christmas...

I stumbled across a *marathon* of "Battle of the Network Stars" a couple of months ago...boy, that brought back memories! I used to love those specials when I was younger, especially when Larry Wilcox (the blonde from CHiPs....) showed up! I always rooted for ABC, funny how things have changed!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Wil, hope you and Anne and the boys have a wonderful Christmas!

Interestingly enough, there are many smart people who cannot, in fact, cook. I, community-college English major, love to cook and am very good at it (if I do say so); but my husband, major university Math MS, soon to be computer science MS, philosophy MS, and math PhD, does not know how. Ability or inability to cook should not be an indicator of intelligence.

However, I agree that Jessica Simpson seems to be on Homer Simpson's level where intelligence is concerned. Obviously, we know that not all lofty and talented TV/movie personalities are as inept. Look at Wil, for instance.

Yes, Wil, you slam those shows but do they care what you think? They're laughing all the way to the bank. It's not terrible if it works and they're getting what you can only hope for:exposure. Huge god awful exposure. I personally don't think there's a problem with these shows just with the people who watch them.

Newlyweds is one of my guilty pleasures, only to ponder if Jessica is truely that stupid. I'm hardly home to watch daytime tv but when I am, it does suck...but is redeemed when HBO has some good movies on, as I sit watching Stand By Me :-) while I type this.

I think the only tv show I watch right now is "24." But I wait until the seasons end, then buy the dvd's, to avoid having to sit through tedious commercials.

Also, I hope you watched Gollum/Andy Serkis' acceptance speech for the MTV awards as a part of the Two Towers bonus materials. I laughed until I peed. Er. Well, it was very funny. (I'll just try and save my dignity here...)

I really don't get why this so-called reality tv has become popular. I watched five minutes of the first Survivor and thought it was stupid. I tend to avoid them at all costs. Although, speaking of stupid rich and famous people, I suffered through the first episode of "The Simple Life". I just hope the parents of those two and Jessica Simpson are ashamed that they raised such incompetent children.

I liked the LotR: The Two Towers the best of the trilogy. It was my favorite of the books too. I watched the movie, the cast commentary and all the appendicies in a weekend. I can't even imagine working with that kind of schedule and injuries. Andy, who did Gollum, was fabulous!

On a side note, I saw "Stand By Me" has been released on DVD. You were so cute! :-)

I love to watch stupid shows like that. It's nostalgic. Looking back and saying "I actually used to watch that crap?" It makes you realize how much you change. Man, I would sign a petition to help get you INTO a movie. But you shouldn't worry about IF you get to do those sort of things, you're young, your chance to help define you as a leading actor has yet to come. Hope you feel better soon. And I hope your fever doesn't affect your Christmas. Merry Christmas.

"Merry Christmas Wil and all the Monkey's!" Click the link for a holiday card. http://www.oddtodd.com/index7000.html

I grew up without a television (and thus without TNG and so on). I think that television is evil, but I also know that growing up without it has made it difficult for me to talk to normal people. It is amazing how much small talk is based on discussion of television. I noted this especially when I was in middle school and high school. Now that I'm in grad school, it has lessened somewhat, but still, it is amazing how much time people spend talking about reality television, and the suchlike. I guess I shouldn't be completely hatin' on tv to someone whose career is at least partially based on the industry, but the intelligent shows are greatly in the minority.

It sounds like you're feeling a little better. I hope that by the time it hits Christmas, your fever will have abated and you can enjoy the holiday.

And, since I leave comments here about twice a year, I have to add a note of congratulations on your book deal. You rock.

Heh! I was in bed for a while too recently with a bad back. I just had to lay there on my back *all* day... and watch TV. Crap - flick - crap - flick - crap... But then, at 3pm EST, on Spike... ahhhhh, you know. Thank you, Spike! Also, the Space Channel, had a ST:TOS episode too a 3... Mmmmm, I chose ST:TNG.

My theory - it's a corporate conspiracy! Daytime TV is deliberately bad so that if you feel like playing hookey from your job, and stay home and watch TV, you feel so shitty / bored / depressed / suicidal by the end of the day, that you *want* to return to work. :-)

Hope you feel better, Wil. Drink TONS of water, man. And have a great holiday.

Who needs cable or a TV anyway! when you have all TNG episodes on dvd and can watch them on your comp and play Spider Solitaire at the same time you've got it made.

This comment has absolutley nothing to do with the entry (although you shouldn't really complain about daytime TV until you've seen what crap we have to put with over here in England).
Just wanted to wish you all a merry christmas while I'm still sober enough to do so :)
'Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus, right down...'

Merry Christmas Wil and all you Wil fans.

I hope you feel better and enjoy your holiday.

As for TV... it is soul-sucking, isn't it?

I agree I don't watch any of the "Reality Shows" Please the ones on the four Networks are SCRIPTED!!! Yes evendually Jessica is that stupid. I do like Law and Order, Jag I did catch what you did on unscrewed last night it was Extreamlly funny. You and Drew are crazy Kool. But then Reality is stranges Heck look at Wacko Jacko, and Scott Peterson too.

Try a book.

Did you see Celebrity Poker on Bravo yet? That's quality TV entertainment. You should really get on that show.

Hiya Wil-
I hope you're feeling somewhat better- the flu sucks. Just wanted to say I totally agree with you about LotR- it's just the best thing I've ever seen, and I wish I could have been part of it. I hope it gets you through your flu... anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your family! :)

Wil,
I never compare tv to feature films because, as you know, they are two different monsters. Most tv shows do not have the amount of creative time that movies enjoy.
The Lord Of The Rings movies are great. I can not compare any tv show to them because it just is not fair.
Everyone have a great holiday.

FG

I came to the conclusion last night that the reason why TV is so bad is because of survey participants such as the Nielson Ratings, etc. Since a Nielson family is only paid 6.00 per day, the only people who would be interested in being paid that little are probably the same people who think being on Ricky Lake is a great vacation idea.. after all, they do pay the expences. To them, 6.oo a day is a big deal, so we are seeing TV shows that are a result of their choices..

(My theory made more sense last night while drinking a Guiness)

I remember the Battle of the Network stars! That show rocked! Circus of the Stars was big at that time too. It is a shame they don't have anything on TV like that anymore. It appears the stars put a lot of work into both shows.

Judy Landers talked about Circus briefly when I recently interviewed her:

Tell us about Battle of the Network Stars and Circus of the Stars.

Circus of the Stars that was a major part of my life. I loved that!

What were you doing on that?

One year I did flying Trapeze. In fact I'm starting to do it again now because I love it. I trained for 3 months and then I ended up two different tricks. One of them I flew through a hoop of fire on a flying Trapeze. The next year I did an act called the "High Roller" act. It was 42 feet up in the air on a 6 foot round table. I did aerial stunts on roller-skates.

1. I can agree with you, 100%, about the quality of daytime TV or even evening TV for that matter it's a veritable "BOOBYTRAP" of entertainment. Your comments have a strange sense of "JUSTICE" in them. Sometimes, "OUR FIRST DUTY", is to just turn the 'darned' thing off, but I empathize with you and your illness, and while it is a "TRAVELER'S" destiny to meet a "JOURNEY'S END" with it, I'll bid you a better new year and a more profitable season to come, and for "THE CHILD" in us all . . . Merry Christmas.

The only good show on SciFi was Farscape, now you have to rent the DVDs. On the bright side I hear its going back into production.
On the first DVD of LOTR TTT, on the last page of scene selections and at the very bottom of the page is a gold ring. Clck it.

TV really does blow really horrifying chunks of.....stuff... thats really bad. The only television shows that are actually intelligent are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joan of Arcadia and Alias. Try those shows and you won't be dissapointed.

That's a scary comment, "IF I get the chance to work as an actor again."

As an actor whose biggest claim to fame is hosting a national (Canadian) cable show on Channel 72, the cable company's propaganda channel, I always had a perception that once you've been in a major series and done some major films that you could always work if you wanted to.

Star Trek and Stand By Me are, as I see it, major works that everyone you could audition for has to have seen. And I saw you in "Flubber," and so I thought "Cool, he must be really busy with other stuff and did this cameo to keep his hand in the acting pot."

Are you saying it might actually be difficult for you to get work? That shocks me a little; I mean, you're a name people can recognize. Surely it's WHEN you act again, not IF?

Naturally my perceptions are going to be naive compared to someone who has actually been in major productions; but wow.

If it helps, I certainly believe you could act again whenever you wanted to. At least, that's my perception-- and doesn't the perception of an actor count for a lot?

Food for thought, anyway. Pardon me while I go chew. :)
