I posted my thoughts about last night's Lost season 3 finale over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lost_theories. Spoilers, of course. Lots to chew on until February!
Yesterday my Tivo auto-recorded a Genesis concert film from 1976 on VH1 Classic. I don't think I knew this existed! Steve Hackett was still in the band, and Bill Bruford was their touring drummer. I haven't watched it yet except for the beginning, enough to see that Phil Collins has a huge beard and Mike Rutherford has long hair and looks like he's 18 years old. (It's especially weird since I just saw the video for Mike + the Mechanics "Silent Running" a few days ago.) And tonight Genesis is on some Rock Honors show. They'll be rerunning both the concert and the Rock Honors thing several more times, so set your Tivos!
[Edit: The concert film appears on the bonus DVD that comes with the remastered edition of Trick of the Tail that came out last week. I hate the idea of buying CDs that I already own, but I may make an exception for this! Watching "Entangled" now, getting huge high school flashbacks...]
Tonight is also the return of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". It won't be coming back next season, but I'm glad they're airing the final few episodes. I wish they'd do the same for "Day Break", "Six Degrees", "The Nine", "Kidnapped", or "Vanished"! Apparently there was a big outcry over the non-renewal of "Jericho" (which was at least allowed to end its season), and CBS is planning to "develop a way to provide closure".
Despite all these doomed serials, I'm still planning to watch "Traveler" this summer. The sneak preview of the pilot a few weeks ago was terrific; they're showing it again next Wednesday, followed by a new episode. It's hard to say anything about the show without spoiling it a little bit, but check it out if you like action/drama/mystery serials (it's not sci fi, more along the lines of "Kidnapped" or "The Fugitive").
Other new shows I'm planning to watch this summer are "Pirate Master", a new Mark Burnett-produced reality game show; "John From Cincinatti", a "surf noir" drama on HBO; and "Creature Comforts", a claymation show from Aardman Animations. And some returning summer shows: "Rescue Me", "Big Love", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "Big Brother", and the aforementioned "Andy Milonakis Show". I think "My Boys" is also coming back this summer (great sitcom on TBS), but I don't see any dates yet (edit: July 30). What else should I be watching? I think I decided to pass on "On the Lot", the Spielberg reality show about amateur filmmakers.
