The Fall Season

Well the new fall season started last night as all the networks began launching their new shows against one another - it's war! Speaking of war I saw bits of Ken Burns' "The War" which like his other documentaries was riveting but with 7 episodes in 2 weeks up against the batch of new shows I don't know if I'll watch it all *sigh* I also saw bits of the "Family Guy"'s "Star Wars" spoof which was almost a frame-by-frame reproduction of "A New Hope" with the FG characters playing the SW characters - well done and extremely funny. Both are owned by 20th Century Fox which I guess facilitated this hybrid. I wonder what George Lucas thought of it?

Tonight we get the return of "Heroes" - yay! I found a bunch of spoilers here. The only one I'll reveal is that Nichelle Nichols ("Star Trek"'s Lt. Uhura) has a guest role in a future ep. Since George Takei has already guest-starred I wonder if Walter Koenig will show up next?
