Heat Vision and Jack!

This has to be the most awesome (I use that word too much, I know) tv show that there could ever be… I present to you:
Heat Vision and Jack
Here’s the blurb from YouTube:

The 30 minute pilot is about an astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret who is on the run from the evil Ron Silver and the rest of NASA, with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson).”

Mixing the best elements of every great 80s tv show is a formula for immense success. More please.

Planet Earth

Just one word: Ohmygodthatwasabsolutelyincredible. It’s a new wildlife series by the BBC which has the most amazing photography I’ve ever witnessed. Ever seen a giant great white shark leap completely out of the water with a seal in its mouth shot at what appears to be 5000fps? I have to admit I don’t see that sort of stuff all that often. I guess it helps to have a helicopter and an HD camera that can shoot up to 1.5 kilometres away.

This is going to be great to have on HD-DVD / DVD / Betamax to view with the future grandkids to show them what the planet was like before the subsequent melting / flooding / overheating / <insert impending global catastrophe here>…

Awesome.
