Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett to receive space funeral.


This would be more touching and less creepy, if it had not been for that original series episode called "I, Mudd".  Hear Harry Mudd describe it himself.

Goodbye, VHS


The last VHS distributor calls it a day, although the owner does not reveal the location of the warehouse full of "free tapes" in the article.


Last major VHS supplier ejects from tape biz • The Register
"It's dead, this is it, this is the last Christmas, without a doubt," Distribution co-owner Ryan Kugler reportedly said. "I was the last one buying VHS and the last one selling it, and I'm done. Anything left in [the] warehouse we'll just give away or throw away."

Goodbye VHS. You outlasted Beta, Laserdisc and RCA's Capacitance Electronic Disc, but it was only a matter of time. Last one to watch that ALF Christmas Special tape, don't forget to rewind on your way out.

A Bakers Dozen of Ridiculous TV



I gotta say, over at Cracked.com there is a nice line up of (mostly) old shows that had fairly ridiculous plots.  Well, I cut the SciFi series some slack, because if you can accept the fact that Atlantis still exists then you can accept ....







... well, OK.  Bad example.  I could never accept his death was all Pam's Bad Dream (tm) either.



They missed a few...







and







Still, I'd sit through every season of the entire list of all of these to be spared this.
