Blu-Ray Triumpuent Over HD-DVD?

Posted on by

In case you haven’t heard, on Friday it was announced that Warner Bro would be releasing content exclusively on Blu-Ray. The next day New Line Cinemas (owned by AOL Time Warner) announced that they too would be going exclusively Blu. This is a major blow to the HD-DVD community.

While it’s bad news for HD-DVD fans and supporters, this could be a good thing for consumers. With two competing high definition disk formats (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) things were a tad bit confusing for the average consumer. You’ll still be able to pick up WB and NLC movies on both formats until May, which is when WB’s contract ends with HD-DVD.

This pretty much only leaves Paramount and NBC Universal supporting the HD-DVD format.

USA Network Canceles The 4400 And The Dead Zone

I didn’t really watch either one of these shows, but since I just posted about a cancellation by NBC, I figured I could post about a couple of others. USA Network, which is owned by NBC, has canceled The 4400 and The Dead Zone. No mention whether the ongoing WGA strike played a part in either one of these cancellations.

Goodbye Journeyman

Last night way probably the last episode of Journeyman. Previous reports indicated that due to the current WGA strike and the show’s low ratings, that it probably wouldn’t be picked back up. The show was a bit slow to start, but I enjoyed watching it, and I thought it got better as the show went on.

That’s ok, I’m getting use to the networks canceling shows that I enjoy.

Is Journeyman’s Trip Over?

Posted on by

Thanks to low ratings and the current WGA strike, we may be at the end of Journeyman. Personally, I’ve enjoyed the show all season long, though I think it’s gotten much better here in the last few weeks. According to SciFi Wire, NBC may end the show at episode 12, which was the last episode produced. For those of you keeping track, that means we have two episodes left.

According to the report, the episode will answer a number of questions, so that it can provide a feeling of closure. However, the episode will leave just enough unanswered in the unlikely case that the rest of the season is picked up.
