Greatest American DVDs...Belive It Or Not...

Interesting aside: William Katt auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker - he read for the part, along with Kurt Russell reading for Han Solo. Imagine Star Wars with those two!

Looks like I have a new Netflix selection...

Hurrah! Life can finally continue!

I thought the Charmed people were holding off on releasing their seasons until DVDs were improved to withstand the excessive freeze-framing...

What freeze-framing?

I'm really looking forward to the Greatest American Hero DVD boxed set. I remember back in my senior year of high school, our Spanish IV class had to do a skit in front of the whole school, speaking only in Spanish. We ended up writing "El Mejor Heroe Americano," and I got to be Ralph. I made myself a rather authentic-looking costume and everything, which I wore under my easy-to-rip-off flannel shirt (with snaps instead of buttons).

And then, the day before the play, I broke my collarbone during our final rehearsal. (I was "crashlanding" onto stage from behind the curtain, as if I had just been flying to the next scene, and I landed funny, and suddenly I couldn't move my right arm at all. All it was supposed to be was a sort of somersault roll onto stage, with a whole lot of yelling in fear ahead of time.)

As I was being driven to the Emergency Room by my best friend's mom, my main thought was "It's a good thing this wasn't a dress rehearsal -- I'd hate to show up at the hospital wearing red tights and a cape!"

I ended up in a wing splint for about three weeks, and when the girl who played Bill Maxwell (it was a small class; I was the only guy) came down with laryngitis the day of the skits, we had to cancel. (I was still going to go through with it, wing splint and all, only with a less vigorous "crashlanding.")

Oh well, it makes for a good story anyway. Other guys have sports injuries or war injuries -- I'm the only guy I know with Spanish play injuries.

What the bleepety bleep bleep bleep is going on where this gets released on DVD but Charmed doesn't?

My understanding is what has kept Charmed from coming to DVD so long is all the licensing issues with the music.

Sorry about the charmed thing. This is a new development. I have been checking Amazon for a couple of years now and always seen the message that it wasn't scheduled to be released yet. I am glad they finally are.
