I was always angered by Find Waldo Now!. I'll find Waldo when I feel like it! Waldo will be fine. He can wait it out while I look for the version of him without the shoe.

Gah. I honestly don't think such a thing as a "Virus Buster Serge" fan exists currently.

Maybe not but you can vote for your favorite "Virus Buster Serge" episode at SciFi.com viewers' choice poll.
In fact you can vote for any combination of four episodes of any series or movie that SciFi has (or soon will) broadcast.

What do you mean? If you meant the title, they didn't change it.

And speaking of Black Lagoon, for some reason, they aired Episode 16 again. Presumably, this is a mistake, so it should be Episode 17 that should be airing next week on G4TechTV Canada.

Gee, what happens when you encounter stop signs? You must not like the hokey-pokey either, or, in this case, the pokey-pokey:

"Put your katana in, take your katana out, put your katana in and you shake it all about. You do the pokey-pokey and the chiropteran gives a shout--that's what it's all about!"

Now, Hagi! Join in with your giant, coffin-shaped cello case! Anime smile

We celebrate our new Click Pick with a retrospective (10/7 and 7/15 are my favorites for the irony):

(You too can search for "Kai Doh Maru The Click" ... but don't let the lack of relavent results on page 1 get your hopes up.)

What kind of confirmation are you looking for, other than Canadian viewers like me who have discussed the matter on this very site?

Yes, it's on.

(And yes, they screwed up on Friday with a repeat.)

That is so very odd to see all those things I wrote about the same damn thing all compiled together.

I think when I am old and possibly dead I will have written more about Kai Doh Maru than Pauline Kael on the entire history of cinema. Everybody's gotta have a niche, I guess.

Death Note NOT on adult swim!!!

DVR says it's on, it records, but is replaced by something else....didn't bother to catch what it was....

Perhaps a different time?

Nah, that was only the results from the first two of (at least) 19 pages. I wanted to include at least one good review, and just like parents who insist on having one of each, it took awhile.

Nope, it's off the schedule for the moment.

I find some perverse joy in watching networks sift through the dregs of Manga's catalog. Virus Buster Serge isn't even the worst of it; I'm hoping they end up airing Armageddon or Vampire Wars.

Oh god! Armageddon! Will I ever get those two hours of my life back?!?!?

VBS was bad, but I'm not sure if it was that bad. I simply watched it as a comedy, and not an action sci-fi thriller. Then, it actually turns out pretty good. You can laugh at all the nonsense and crazy character designs! It's great!
