Tube Bits For 12/14/2007
- DirecTV recently asked their viewers to list their HDTV favorites in several categories. Aside from giving us a reason to post a totally gratuitous picture of Jessica Alba, who won for 'Hottest Celebrity in HD', we might also mention that Heroes won for 'Favorite Show in HD'. Has no one seen Galactica in HD? No contest. Maybe they were distracted by all that Alba.
- TV Squad shows us the the official unveiling of the new KITT from the upcoming Knight Rider movie. Apparently, KITT will come in three flavors: a remote controlled version, the everyday Hero version, and the super duper high speed Attack version. All will be voiced by Will Arnett, who won't come close to the smooth, dulcet tones of William Daniels.
- Not content to sit on the sidelines, several former Trek actors joined the picketing writers outside of Paramount. The LA-ist has the pictures to prove it. Man, Brent Spiner looks old. And what's up with George Takei's smile? Scary.
- Can't get enough of Unionized striking in real life? Sy Fy Portal brings us Working Stiff and Unions on Sci-Fi TV. It's long, but covers TV from the 60's through to the present.
- Just how hard of a ratings hit did NBC take this Fall season? It was so bad, they had to refund ad money to its advertisers. Usually, free ad spots are given as compensation for lower than expected ratings. At around $500k a pop, that's not good news for NBC's bottom line.
- ABC seems content to damn the torpedoes, and will go ahead and start the new season of LOST in February, even with only 8 episodes in the can. Check out the new Season 4 trailer below. Is it February yet?

Could be a gratuitous picture of the now pregnant Alba and I'll still stare.
Now, if it were an alien baby, you could put her picture on SF Signal all the time....I wonder how rumors start....
