Did you hear that KitH are touring live? I would have loved to see that...

I did hear it and would also love to get to see them but I don't think they were coming anywhere around me. I should really check again... Ok checked again, and they are coming to Orlando which is only 90 minutes from here, but since we just blew the budget on Radiohead, I doubt we'll be doing that, plus I hate the venue where they are playing so :( it's no KitH for me, other than my precious DVD's of course.

I'm not alone!!!

actually, i haven't watched it since James Marsters came onto the show, which is a pity because I'm a fan of his. I just don't have time anymore, and I don't have cable either.

I just figure someday i'll download all the episodes, or buy a "Collector's Edition Bonus extra Awesome definitive Set".

This season has been "ok." I'm not too hopeful about next season though...no Lex! Brainiac has been cool though (Marsters). :D Also, Supergirl is pretty hot. :)

Great show! I read on wikipedia that Takeshi's Castle only ran for two years. The MXC guys were having trouble finding additional footage to use and that's why they couldn't make anymore episodes. I'd really like to see more. Maybe Japan will bring it back like we did American Gladiators.

*hopes*
