"Jousting is back." Now there's a sentence I didn't think I'd hear in my lifetime. Huh. People are weird.

I'm curious to see how long it lasts. I actually want to see FMJ but am pretty sure it's over the moment someone gets a lance shard in their eye or throat.

To be fair, you have to save something for the blooper reel on the DVDs...I'm curious to see how long it lasts. I actually want to see FMJ but am pretty sure it's over the moment someone gets a lance shard in their eye or throat.

Yeah, but on the other hand, rodeo riding is still going strong and it has the combined negatives of animal cruelty and fatal accidents. Though can you really call it an accident if you get killed because you decided to ride a mad bull with piano strangling its testes?I'm curious to see how long it lasts.

I meant the TV show rather than the actual sport. I don't think death or maimings will end up killing the sport but I think that the shows, especially since they're on NatGeo and History, wouldn't survive it.

They're advertising the show a lot on TruTV and I have to say that is the natural audience for this.

Looking forward to this; the first 7 minutes of Awake.
Jason Isaacs is a cop who's involved a car crash in which his wife dies... or maybe she lived and it was his son that died...

I've seen the whole pilot. It's a solid start - the kind of show that you'll have to be full-awake and pay real attention to follow, but if you do, it's a great concept and well executed.

...I think I saw that almost a year ago - what was the delay? The pilot getting picked up or scheduling?

Mostly scheduling, but there was word of some production troubles too.

Awake: They shut the production down for a while to tinker with scripts - however given the long lead time they had - and on the strength of the pilot - that might not be a dnager signal, but more of a reassurance that they wanted to get it right...
No, the real horror is this:

Just when I stopped thinking about CBS and their amazing idea to have a new show about a contemporary Sherlock Holmes (yeah, like THAT'll work) , along comes ABC who just announced they are remaking... Only Fools and Horses.
Mind sufficiently boggled. Disbelief insufficiently suspended.

Remember when Top Gear guests were just random blokes off the TV? *sigh*. Not that I have a problem with the recent run of LeBlanc, Reynolds and Fassbender.

It gets 350m viewers per episode worldwide, which is far higher than either the Superbowl or Champions League final (which are around 110-130m). That's why the random blokes got edged out and Tom Cruise wanted to be on.
To be fair Cruise loves driving fast cars so maybe I'll term it that that's what got it on his agent's radar.

I think that's likely but the biggest reason was 'Knight and Day' needed all the publicity it could get.It gets 350m viewers per episode worldwide, which is far higher than either the Superbowl or Champions League final (which are around 110-130m). That's why the random blokes got edged out and Tom Cruise wanted to be on.

As a bit of entertaining telly though, it was very good.
