Review for: Jam (TV Series) Hence the single series run in 2000, which is a shame because the show had great potential. Its a nice package in all, but while the series is awash with talent, chock-full of potential, and reaches the highs of comedy at times, it remains 'hit and miss' throughout. The series progresses through the 6 episodes, with the male nudity, and urination, (the camera angle here being particularly unkind to the viewer) not appearing past episode two. www.wakinglimb.com /films/review.php?title=Jam+(TV+Series)   (701 words)

Amazon.com: Music: The Kink Kronikles The most interesting aspect of that particular album was The Kinks performing the theme to the Batman TV series popular at the time. This two-disc set contains these hits, album tracks from "Face to Face", "Something Else by the Kinks", "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society", "Arthur," and the comeback "Lola vs. Powerman and the Money-go-round," along with a number of single-only tracks that until very recently were available nowhere else. I first paid attention to The Kinks in 1967 due to an article in the old, original `Crawdaddy' magazine which was the big pre-Rolling Stone journal of choice for discriminating writing on contemporary rock. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002KOZ?v=glance   (701 words)

The Fugitive While it is essential for the series for Kimble and Johnson to cross paths occasionally, the number of times this happened in the final year taxed credulity. Yes there are some episodes that perhaps stretch credulity, but every TV series and film is guilty of that to a greater or lesser degree - it goes with the medium, I'm afraid.... But yes, as the ever so intrusive TV Network executive nimrods are so likely to do, they stepped in with their own moronic ideas and demanded the script be changed. www.jumptheshark.com /f/fugitive.htm   (4558 words)

Guardian Unlimited Arts special reports Girls Aloud hit number one for Christmas And the old custom of moaning about the Christmas number one is set to continue this year as Girls Aloud, a pop group manufactured for a TV series, top the charts despite low sales of their single. Although Christmas sales fluctuate, they do appear to be in long-term decline: the number of singles sold this December has dropped 19% from last year and 44% from 2000. The reality TV show Popstars: The Rivals was created expressly so that one of its groups would take the festive number one spot, much to the grumbling of critics. www.guardian.co.uk /arts/christmas2002/story/0,12668,864794,00.html   (639 words)

World Masterpiece Theater Anime List Moomin, as well as all subsequent WMT tv series, was broadcast on Fuji TV, and it is by going by this criteria--that of the broadcasting station, Fuji TV--rather than that of the animation studio--Nippon Animation, which only produced post-1975 WMT tv series--that one could come up with quite a different number of WMT tv series. Romeo was turned into a 33 episode tv series and radically simplified because of this callous frivolity on the part of the stations. She also released, in conjunction with Nippon Animation, a CD-single of the song "Yume yo eien ni", a commemorative of sorts which colludes many of the WMT opening themes into one long omnibus song. www.tky.hut.fi /~otakut/anime/sekai.html   (639 words)

Peeking up the Skirts of the End John Mills-Cockell's synthesizer band Syrinx, for example, recorded the theme to the (then) forward-looking TV series "Here Come the Seventies", and followed this with a number of albums (Tillicum comes most notably to mind) of SF-related instrumental music. The first Canadian pop music single with an identifiably SF theme is probably The Five Man Electrical Band's "I'm a Stranger Here" (1973), a trite but nevertheless effective protest song utilizing a visiting space alien as a viewpoint character. In the nineteen sixties, the 45rpm single was the dominant form of pop music, and this was a form that did not easily lend itself to SF subjects. quillcom.ca /Fiction/Peeking.html   (226 words)
