I wish there would be a Mad Men reunion I'd love to see the cast again .. One of my all time favorite shows so well scripted -- ok a little weird at times lol! - and the music was so cool!

I caught part of this the other night and I can't believe I've been missing this!! I'm now going to have to play catch-up with On-Demand. I didn't know Joan Crawford was originally going to play Olivia de Havilland's role in "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte." Fascinating stuff.

Nothing really new, but I really enjoy watching ESPN's "30 for 30" sports documentary series. It does a really good job on explaining events that I never even knew about. "Benji" and "Without Bias" are sad, since they tell the stories of basketball players that could possibly have been NBA stars but their dreams were left unfulfilled due to tragedy. "One and Not Done" is the most recent one about John Calipari from the University of Kentucky, and it's about his rise as an NCAA coach who pushes his players to leave college to make big money in an NBA contract.
Also, there was one about Foxcatcher, and I learned that I actually went to school with one of the sons of the wrestlers that John DuPont sponsored. I was like, 'the dude that's being interviewed has the same last name, he wrestles, and he looks familiar - just like his son that I used to know.' This doc was better than the movie with Steve Carell.
I can't wait to watch the Celtics vs Lakers one in June.
Just bought the boxset of Vikings for a Ragnar/Athelstan fix.

I'm really sad and disappointed right now with "Once Upon a Time" with finding out that not only is the main actress Jennifer Morrison leaving but 5 of the other 9 series regulars are leaving after this current season as well. ABC needs to do the smart thing and just cancel it. I can't see it going on for a 7th season without Jennifer's Emma, which the whole show was built around and even keeping Colin O'Donoghue, who now plays her husband. It just doesn't make sense as so many of us watched it knowing it was her story and this 7th season is confirmed as a reboot with new characters and a new story being added. I just know I'll never count season 7 as a season or watch it if it happens, and even if ABC and the writers make it I doubt it'll even last beyond it as majority of us aren't going to watch. I wish they would've planned ahead to make this the final season so we all could've had it ended the way we wanted and should've had.
What made it worse was that Jennifer, the writers, and ABC announced her leaving the day after her character got married and I loved that episode and the musical as the cast is so musically talented.

Dredging up this old comment because I found the BBC Wales short documentary on the band on youtube. It this doesn't work for you, there are a few other copies.

Thank you UtW! I'm watching it right now!
ETA: What a sad story. I've always loved some of their songs.
