I didn't know about this show until the whole "NUTS!" campaign made news in June, resurrecting the show from cancellation. The other night, realizing Monk had completely turned to shit and deserved no more of my viewing time, I went channel surfing and discovered Jericho instead in the same time slot. It prompted me to stop the show mid-way through and find this series online, which CBS has had the good sense to stream in its entirety at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/video.php?cat=1&page=1&video=1&inner=115261 (some of the episodes starting with the first have timeouts on the interstitial ads before a segment will stream, so be patient). I started from the pilot and have steadily worked through the season in just five days. (I'm about to watch the season finale).

Holy shit.

All last season I said that Prison Break was the best-scripted show on the tube. I was wrong. Jericho was, and I knew nothing about it at the time. If you haven't discovered it yet, you owe it to yourself to check this show out. While it bears little resemblance to The X-Files, it is THAT level of quality TV. If you agree after watching this that the show is as good as I say, recruit some other people to watch it too. Take the time to write CBS to let them know you've discovered it AFTER the un-cancellation and you find it worth keeping alive beyond the brief extension it's being given this fall.

Happy watching!

Interesting ... can you repost the link with the extended versions just so I can be sure I downloaded the right thing? What I downloaded from (IIRC) the third post had the times I noted earlier. I'm KEENLY interested in these way-long mixes. It almost looked as though the lengths were a cumulative tally, but that wasn't exactly right either so I'm at a loss.

Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD?

Connect these dots and the Universal issue and source of kickbacks may become crystal clear:
1) Universal and NBC are the same company (they have been since 2004).
2) NBC and Microsoft have been in bed together since the formation of MSNBC in the 90s.
3) Microsoft has been a major supporter of the HD-DVD format for its own, non-movie-related reasons.

Kinda found the answer to my question in your thread at JWFan:
http://jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13494&st=80&start=80

So was there a definite answer as to whether or not (a) this was indeed the LSO vs Prague and if so (b) was it from the same sessions as the film recording?

In any case, thanks to this and to your Boston Pops Jabba Theme, I've gotten two concert suites that I've always wished existed but seemed to be MIA.

Incidentally, I've made some mix discs of The Best of SW (one for the prequels and one for the OT) and on the latter, I've cobbled together a decent theme for Lando and for The Emperor from a couple of the score tracks.

"Lando Calrissian" was taken from Lando's Palace and Betrayal at Bespin.
"The Emperor's Theme" was taken from "The Emperor Arrives" and "The Emperor's Throne Room."

Now if there were only a concert suite theme for the Droids.
