kinda shocking but for the best: NBC apparently has passed on David Shore's remake of "The Rockford Files" -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:14 13
- I'm surprised ... but I think everyone should sit back and see how the Hawaii Five-O remake does before jumping in with both feet to the idearape pond -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:16 4
  - Wasn't 2004's "Hawaii" (with Michael Biehn) pretty much a remake of Hawaii 5-0 already? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:18 3
    - perhaps...but the tried a Hawaii 5-O next gen thing in the 90's where Dano was the gov of Hawaii, -- nm - Remlik May 14, 11:20 2
      - way to go Dano! -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:21 1
        
        Well, yeah. But look at him now. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:23
- dumper dermot Mulroney and cast Sawyer from Lost -- nm - Remlik May 14, 11:16 4

Hockey WC Denmark vs. Slovakia ended 6-0 but still a bit dissapointing - Danedukenuuk May 14, 11:10

Yes/no poll: Super Saver wins the Preakness tomorrow - prayformojo May 14, 11:04 7
- Yes - sure why not -- nm - Epiphany May 14, 11:28
- I just find it tragic that a horse named after the junk in my mailbox has a chance of being the next Triple Crown winner. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:15 2
  - they can name the horse "FreeCreditReport.com" for all i care if it can actually win a Triple Crown -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:17 1
    - "And it's Comcast coming down the home stretch!" -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:19
- As much as I'd love to see another shot at the Triple Crown, I think Looking at Lucky beats him. - Will Hunting May 14, 11:07
- What color is he/she/it? -- nm - oblique May 14, 11:05
- i always want a triple crown contender but probably not -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:05

- The Hawks are going to need a magnificent offseason. -- nm - David May 14, 11:02 5
  - Joe Johnson is the one guy who I think has almost no chance of staying put. - TFox May 14, 11:06 2
    - After the way it ended, I see his departure as a foregone conclusion. - David May 14, 11:07 1
      - Knicks or Clippers, even though I think he'd be an ideal fit for the Chicago/Lebron scenario like I posted earlier. -- nm - TFox May 14, 11:09
  - I hate them - Will Hunting May 14, 11:04 1
    - Orlando is that good, but the Hawks quit, too. It's the worst combo. -- nm - David May 14, 11:05
Shuttle launching in about 20 minutes if all goes well -- nm - oblique May 14, 11:00

  - I watched the Homcide crossovers -- nm - Remlik May 14, 11:18
  - Never seen an episode either...not a fan of the crime drama's....only watched a few of CSI because my sister did. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 14, 11:16
  - I've seen many many episodes of L&O and L&O:CI, a handful of L&O:SVU, and none of that stupid jury one -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:10 4
    - (I've always liked courtroom drama and police drama, from CHiPS to Matlock to Walker Texas Ranger, so ... of course I've seen it :) ) -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:10 2
      - (And yes, I just listed CHiPs as Police Drama. So what?) -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:11 1
        
        (I've seen much more Hawaii Five-O than I have CHiPs, though. Also, did i mention I like parenthesis?) -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:11
    - i almost watched an episode of Trial by Jury for Bebe Neuwirth - sherlock homie May 14, 11:10
  - word -- nm - Nightcrawler May 14, 11:07
  - me either (of any of them) -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:05 4
    - I've never seen an episode of any of the Law and Orders or any of the CSIs. -- nm - Dano May 14, 11:06 3
      - I saw a CSI from the very first season and thought it was so stupid it couldn't possibly succeed. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 11:10
      - my brother! -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:07 1
        
        But I have seen three episodes of Happy Town. -- nm - Dano May 14, 11:11
  - I think the last time I watched regularly was when Paul Sorvino was in the cast. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 11:05
  - how is this possible! -- nm - spawn si May 14, 11:05 1
    - I've been beaten enough. -- nm - dead horse May 14, 11:08
- wow. -- nm - Mel Profit May 14, 11:01
- seems like the could just run a random season and call it new, and no one would notice. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 11:00 1
  - yep, if it was done in the last five years, this would work for me -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 11:05
- [deleted] 2
  - Honestly, who isn't? -- nm - David May 14, 11:00 1
    - Mick Billmeyer -- nm - TFox May 14, 11:01
Per ESPN Mike Brown has been fired -- nm - amoxy May 14, 10:58 5
- I wonder who was the last NBA coach to win 61 games and get fired after the season. -- nm - David May 14, 11:11
- So it's all to Lebron's credit when they do well and have the best regular seasons, and all Brown's fault when they lose in the playoffs - Gwaahjo May 14, 11:04 1
  - They won in the regular season in spite of him. Some mind-numbing coaching decisions. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 11:04
- That's nice -- nm - Queen James May 14, 11:02
- Good, that guy is horrendous. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 10:59
friday hax chat q from across the pond: his GF is perpetually making them late. so when she stayed too long at a friend's house, he left without her - sherlock homie May 14, 10:45 29
- I don't see how she can have the gaul to call him rude when she's consistently late, and then she doesn't answer his calls. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:13 3
  - He lost the fight when he left, until then he had the high ground. -- nm - Ender May 14, 11:21 2
    - Yeah, I don't see how he thought that leaving would mean a happy ending. - Roger More May 14, 11:26
    - But this doesn't become a hax chat until he leaves. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 11:22
- The real question: Do they stay together after this? - Nightcrawler May 14, 11:11 1
  - How could she respect a man who doesn't respect himself enough to win this fight? -- nm - TFox May 14, 11:13
- selfish b!tch. - znufrii May 14, 11:08
- Leaving was wrong, but if they are always late to things because of her, she doesn't have respect for other people and only cares about herself. -- nm - Shaun May 14, 11:05
- It was the wrong move, but she is the one being controlling and rude -- nm - amoxy May 14, 10:59 1
  - that's it's a little rich for her to be accusing him of that... -- nm - znufrii May 14, 11:10
- It all depends on whether he has threatened to leave before but never followed through. -- nm - David May 14, 10:59 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Nightcrawler May 14, 11:06
- either sh's too young for him or he is crazy - Danedukenuuk May 14, 10:53
- Oh yeah, he's wrong. You can go in and harangue her all you want, but you don't just leave. -- nm - Ender May 14, 10:49
- start lying about the start times for events -- nm - crash davis May 14, 10:49
- Waiting for them is just one of the prices you pay for a good woman's company. It's a character flaw, but there are far worse ones she could have. - Dr.Vermin May 14, 10:48
- He's wrong for leaving; there's a much better solution to her issue. - Will Hunting May 14, 10:48
- the answer is both, of course -- nm - prayformojo May 14, 10:48
- So he sat in the car and called her twice and she didn't answer? At least a knock on the door, and "Let's go, or I'm leaving" would have sufficed. -- nm - JaxSean May 14, 10:47
- it's a dick move. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 10:46 9
  - that totally gets the point across. (he should have texted at least.) -- nm - workmanda May 14, 10:51 7
    - it's disrespectful of his time, absolutely. But if all you want to do is pick a fight, this is the way to do it. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 10:53 6
      - that's the part i don't get. the *point* of doing this is to pick a fight to prove your point. - TFox May 14, 10:54 5
        
        it's naive to think you can change this kind of stuff in the way described - Danedukenuuk May 14, 10:58 4
        
        of course you can. if you do it right. -- nm - TFox May 14, 11:00 3
        
        in the way described!!!! - Danedukenuuk May 14, 11:01 2
        
        hell yeah, if you don't wuss out at the end and get surprised that she's mad. -- nm - TFox May 14, 11:01 1
        
        well...do it on a stormy and rainy day for max effect - Danedukenuuk May 14, 11:03
  - yes. imo, an understandable dick move that made me chuckle a bit, but it shouldn't be a shocker that she's pissed. -- nm - TFox May 14, 10:50
what i fail to understand about gay's in the millitary if you "DADT" then - Danedukenuuk May 14, 10:43 2
- My guess is that Inhofe doesn't support DADT, but for the opposite reason of most - Reagen May 14, 10:46 1
  - who the eff cares is a soldier is gay it's not important IMO, and if it is to someone - Danedukenuuk May 14, 10:50
Check out this "Zoodles" kid-friendly web browser. Just watch the video. Does a better job of explaining it than I can. -- (link) - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 10:43 1
- I'm been using Kidzui on the kids machines. -- nm - oblique May 14, 10:51
Flash Forward RIP question... I have about six episodes backlogged on the DVR. Should I bother now? - Dr.Vermin May 14, 10:42 6
- I am saddened it will end. I am hooked, hopefully they can get a good resolution (spoilers from last night) - amoxy May 14, 11:00
- The first three of those are great. The rest of them get duller. So, if you like the first ones, keep watching. If not, don't bother. -- nm - David May 14, 11:00
- I'd watch them. It's been strong sauce. -- nm - Mel Profit May 14, 10:59
- I would think so. Some of the episodes have been pretty good. (I'm 2 behind.) -- nm - JaxSean May 14, 10:46
- I think it should. -- nm - Ender May 14, 10:44

Calipari says no NBA for him next season. -- (link) - TFox May 14, 10:41 1
- i.e. Please drop it until NBA free agency begins, at which point I'm outta here if LeBron calls. -- nm - David May 14, 11:00
[deleted] 6
- Minnesota and the Mets. - Will Hunting May 14, 10:42 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - So I take it I'm right. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 10:45 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Didn't read the article. Just the logic in my post. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 10:48 1

Biggest Loser, please review the spreadsheet and post your current weight to ST. -- (link) - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 10:39 9
- It won't let me edit. -- nm - Dano May 14, 10:52 1
  - (should all the "can't edit" posts be cracking me up? they are. someone ask gizmodo to write an article about how to use google docs.) -- nm - TFox May 14, 10:56
- 208 week 1. 205 yesterday. Can't edit directly -- nm - oblique May 14, 10:51
- What good is this if you don't update the information posted? - Will Hunting May 14, 10:44 4
  - I didn't see it. I posted what I found. I know Meg added some info, too. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 10:44 3
    - I'm using a separate (non-published) spreadsheet so that I can include those who don't want their actual weight out there. That way I can report just - MojaveMeg May 14, 10:46 2
      - So I see. I think the public sheet is necessary to provide additional incentive. I've also added charts and graphs! Charts and graphs! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 10:48 1
        
        Which is not to say that a private sheet isn't a great idea. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 14, 10:50
- [sigh] 214 - Dr.Vermin May 14, 10:41
lost to roll: remember way back in survivor season one? how long did it take to form alliances? was it instant even back then, - workmanda May 14, 10:39 17
- *votes the alphabet strategy* -- nm - Dr. Doofus May 14, 10:57 2
  - Pick a number! -- nm - Greg May 14, 10:58 1
    - To be fair, Greg thought the entire thing was a big joke. He was expecting to compete on a survival show. -- nm - Dano May 14, 11:03
- They sprung it on us late. Up till then the editing had been presenting it as individuals, then it was revealed as a masterstroke. - Reagen May 14, 10:54
- i think that's what separated Richard from the rest of the tribe - sherlock homie May 14, 10:43 12
  - Yeah. In his tribe it happened instantly. In the other tribe it never happened until it was way too late. -- nm - Dano May 14, 10:54 2
    - this cracks me up (i had totally forgotten) "Sean Kenniff, the one remaining member of Tagi (not in the alliance), voted using an alphabet strategy." - sherlock homie May 14, 10:59 1
      - Yup, he did - amoxy May 14, 11:01
  - Just think how different it woulda been had he not won the million. - Will Hunting May 14, 10:44 8
    - I wonder if s1 is worth a rewatch in light of what we know now. -- nm - workmanda May 14, 10:46 7
      - Probably. They really did manage to catch lightning in a bottle - Will Hunting May 14, 10:51 5
        
        Colleen was the America's Sweetheart of the first season. -- nm - Dano May 14, 11:04 1
        
        mmm . . . scabby legs -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 11:06
        
        Elizabeth wasn't until season 2 -- nm - amoxy May 14, 11:02 1
        
        Then it was Colleen. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 11:04
        
        the other thing i don't think those players could know, being the first group, is how jury politics would play out in the endgame -- nm - sherlock homie May 14, 10:52
      - maybe it's just the editing focusing on all the interpersonal drama but it doesn't seem like the tribes now have it as hard as they did then - sherlock homie May 14, 10:49
