One of the grueling things I do in order to keep XBMC-TV updated is to manually check out the various international streams I have on file. Sometimes, along the way, I’ll come across some peculiar (and at times familiar or even humorous) sights or scenes, as you’ll see below:
The Underwear Gnomes have nothing on these folks (from what was presumably a sex-ed lesson on Korean TV Station ‘EBS’):
…only in human form.
I tend to watch quite a few obscure movies; Road to the Stars (Doroga k zvezdam), a 50-minute Russian documentary about the projected future of their space program from 1958, was no exception. (A distinct lack of English subtitles didn’t help its case, either.) A bit of Futurama
The suit looks a bit familiar… Inspiration, perhaps? Coincidence? Click through to see more.
Jericho is officially back for seven more episodes as a mid-season show, effectively giving it somewhat of a second season. See the following excerpt from CBS as posted this evening:
June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
Unprecedented, to say the least. As a regular viewer of the show myself, I’m pleased to see the change of heart. Even if you aren’t a fan of the show, it’s nice to see that with a concerted enough effort someone might actually listen.
Now, about all those nuts...
