Wow I just got home and more DVDs from the Academy – you know it is Emmy season when your mail box fills – not that I am complaining 🙂 – it is great way to see shows you may have missed. I was really impressed with the work in the series the Tutors on Showtime, very well made show. Showtime have really been getting great scripts lately, and their work -plus people like HBO etc make me feel like episodic TV is in a golden age of quality writing. I know – I know it may not seem that way – but come on Tutors, Sopranos, Entourage, Sleeper Cel, Heroes, Rome, Studio 60, The Extras – all outstanding productions.

These are just some of this year’s better box sets.

I actually take voting really seriously – I think the crews of these shows deserve that.

In a semi-unrelated topic – I am interviewing the vfx team from Heroes today. Those guys have done a great job – the show is really engaging and the visual effects are both key and well done. This will be next week’s fxguide podcast hopefully – also check out another great interview by John this week with the Shrek – Dreamworks Animation team. www.fxguide.com
