Well, I'm glad to see someone else is taking a shot at putting the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on screen.

The book is great (actually the whole five-plus-one book trilogy is great), and BBC did a fair job making a TV series back in the 80's - even though it's rather dated, it's still fairly fun.

Now, with today's special effects and CG, Hitchhiker's Guide can make a better transition from the mind of Douglas Adams' to the silver screen. I'm sincerely looking forward to this show.

The second season of HBO's "Deadwood" has gotten me riveted just as much as the first. I almost can't stand the wait from Sunday to Sunday to see a new episode.

I bought the first season on DVD and had to re-watch all the episodes twice just to get all of the nuances in the dialog.

If you haven't watched Deadwood yet, you may be put off by the coarse language, but once you get past that, you'll find the characters are really very eloquent in their gritty, old west way.

This series was created by David Milch (NYPD Blue writer) and is set in South Dakota around the late 1800 (after Custer's last stand at the Little Big Horn). Whether or not you are into Western's, this series is super captivating!
