The Awesome Captain Mack

Donncha O Caoimh — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:13:26 +0000

It’s a pity they disabled embedding but it’s worth watching Captain Mack at least once. Parents, sssshhh!

It takes skill my monkey! Almost as much as holding back a 40ft tidal wave while dodging a couple of hungry killer whales. Now that’s a real skill!

Man hit in the head with a basketball

Poor Phil, star of his own Youtube video, “Man hit in the head with a basketball”. Sore head?

Yes, I just watched that episode of Modern Family. Great show. I hope they got their stop sign …

The Return of 'Allo 'Allo

Donncha O Caoimh — Mon, 17 May 2010 13:12:08 +0000

Sometimes I’m glad I look in my spam folder. I spotted this delightful email subject:

Important massage from Federal Ministry of Finance

It reminded me of the BBC sitcom, ‘Allo ‘Allo which anyone living in the UK or Ireland and probably further afield will immediately recognise. Luckily I found this video of clips from the “Return of” show aired in 2007. Hilarious stuff!

Stargate: Ark Of Truth

Donncha O Caoimh — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:36:43 +0000

Sunday 30th March at 9pm on Sky 2. If you’re a fan that’s all you need to know

Stargate: Ark Of Truth, the feature length episode which followed the last and final series of Stargate SG1 was released on DVD in the US at the start of March according to Barry’s post. I thought I’d have to wait until the region 2 DVD became available but Sky ponied up the dosh and I presume it was shown during the week on Sky 1? I’m still catching up on my regular programming through Sky+ and haven’t hit last week yet so I missed any trailers if there were any.

Sky+ is all set to record Ark Of Truth tomorrow night! I hope it’s better than the drivel they served for the final episode! Here’s a trailer to wet your appetite. I think it just might be a winner.

The Season 7 24 Trailer

Donncha O Caoimh — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 11:25:17 +0000

Just how many bad days can Jack Bauer have?

Mark says “24 has ripped off all four Die Hard movies all at once.” with this trailer and it looks like he’s right. Every season gets bigger and bigger. I can’t wait ’til it starts! The Sky one page doesn’t have any start details, and Sky+ shows it’s not on next Sunday. Waiting, waiting, waiting ..

It's Toddtime at Sacred Heart

Donncha O Caoimh — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 08:43:46 +0000

Some said “Even The Todd wouldn’t wear those” but I think he would. In a recent episode of Scrubs, Todd had a tshirt with the url, thetoddtime.com emblazoned on it. Fearful for what I’d find there, I visited thetoddtime.com and discovered something so unreal, so shocking that I had to share it with you.

If the Quicktime movie doesn’t load for you, someone kindly uploaded it to Youtube as well. Click the “Read more” link to view it as I want to spare the sensibilities of the casual visitor here. It’s so YEEEEA!!!

The Charlie Brown Christmas by Scrubs

Donncha O Caoimh — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 22:32:10 +0000

This is a little unusual. Charlie Brown Christmas done by the cast of Scrubs. Found via the Scrubs Wikipedia page. Good news for Scrubs fans, there will be a series 7, Zach Braff signed up for another series. I haven’t even seen series 6 yet!

A Christmas story in April. Ah timing.

Stargate SG1 dies with barely a whimper

Donncha O Caoimh — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:47:30 +0000

So SG1 has finally gone the way of the Dodo. The final episode was a huge disappointment although I suppose it did take us into the heads and personal lives of some of the characters in an unusual way. Still, it’s not a soap opera, I’d watch Emmerdale or Cornation Street if I wanted personal conflict and relationships.

The last episode of the current series of Stargate Atlantis on the other hand was literally “out of this world!” If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a great ending.

I thought the final season of SG1 was so very disappointing. It felt like the plot had lost it’s way, that they were meandering through the series until the very end. It was easy viewing. I built up quite a collection of Stargate episodes on my Sky+ box as well as Battlestar Galactica, 24 and Lost. The two Stargate series were always the first to be watched because I knew they wouldn’t strain my tired brain too much.

For fans like myself who haven’t seen the early years of Stargate, earlier episodes are being repeated on Sky Two throughout the week. I watched The Broca Divide the other night and it was strange to see the much younger looking members of SG1 do their stuff! Richard Dean Anderson was great playing a deranged out-of-his-mind crazy guy!

This leads me on to the question, is there any proper way of ending a long running television series? How did MacGyver end? The last I watched of the series it was getting all environmental and boring. Less gadgets and MacGyver magic and more talking if memory serves. Is every successful franchise doomed to disappoint?

Too much Bosco to handle

Donncha O Caoimh — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 23:47:57 +0000

From the opening title sequence of the wool, the yoyo and the cut out paper men…

To the magic door leading to the zoo…

And then there’s Michael Finnegan, I wonder where he went?

Yes, if you grew up in the eighties in Ireland then you’ll know all about Bosco. Aren’t we lucky?
