How the hell does “Strange World” tie or beat Lexx in ratings? I mean that is the single worst show I’ve ever seen in a long long time. It’s like the X-Files only stupid and totally outdated. Grr. Sorry just a rant.

You know, I have to agree on The Chronicle. It’s not altogether too original, what with its elements being taken from both Kolchak and Men In Black (what with the whole “aliens are real and live among us” joke scenario, though I don’t know where, time-wise, the original News From the Edge novels fall in relation to the MIB comics series), but at its worst, it simply tends toward the boring. I think it’s an amusing concept, and I watch it when I remember to do so. Which ain’t often. I’m usually running in the door just in time to catch the end credits before LEXX comes on.

And you’re right, FG, Rena Sofer (who plays Grace Hall, and who has been on the sitcom Ed numerous times) is drop-dead gorgeous, IMHO.
