Rumors are floating around that Dead Like Me, the popular Showtime original series about a team of grim reapers, may see a revival in the form of a direct to DVD movie.

If they get the original cast back to do this, you can bet some easy money that I will buy it.  I own the complete television series on DVD and it was a great show.  If you have yet to see this fine piece of television then either buy it, rent it, or Netflix it right away.  You will not be disappointed.

Those wonder Fox executives are know for 2 things, airing really great shows and cancelling really great show.

Over the years the Fox executives have given us The Simpsons, Married With Children, House, as well as other great television shows.  They have also cancelled great shows such as Family Guy (brought back only after DVD sales soared), Firefly, and now we can add one of my new favorite shows Drive to this list.

I honestly do not understand what these guys are thinking.  Drive is a fantastic show and has the potential to be really great.  However, it will never get to see that potential as it’s been cancelled.

Go Fox, your record for killing great programs still stands above the rest.

For more information you can read the TVGuide article.

The folks over at iLounge are reporting that the iTunes Store now has the CW shows Supernatural and Veronica Mars. While I think that it is cool to finally have some CW programming on iTunes, I am surprised over the fact that Smallville is missing from this list. Where is Smallville?

I guess I’ll have to find another way to get Smallville on my iPod since I am already record 2 other programs in the same timeslot on my DVR.

According to an article from Wired , it seems that Multiverse has struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn Firefly into a Massive-Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG).

For those that are unaware of the awesome-ness that is Firefly, allow me to elighten you. Firefly was a television show that ran for 11 episodes before meeting its end. It is also the reason that people now band together to save television shows. Written and conceived by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel), this is science fiction for the now, with some of the best dialogue to ever grace the small screen. Firefly has been labeled as this generation’s Star Trek. From the article:

The universe of Firefly and its spinoff film, Serenity, featured everything from Old West-style towns to futuristic urban environments, gritty spaceships and pastoral retreats — freedom fighters, oppressive government agents, smugglers, outlaws, mercenaries, trader, townsfolk, futuristic geishas and a race of corrupted humans known as the Reavers.

The idea of making a MMORPG out of the world that Whedon created is nothing short of brilliant. This could be a MMORPG that I could actually get into. But, you never now.
