Frankster has once again outdone himself with the A/V goodness he uploads to his blog.

I strongly advise you to visit his site, and in particular, download the three commercial/program/station ID medleys he’s just done.

And to whet your appetite, with his kind blessing, here’s a preview of one of the medleys. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s a closedown. And more to the point, it’s a Prime Television closedown from the early 1990s. So sue me!

I’m a fan of the Dead Man Eating blog, which goes into detail the final meal requests of the U.S.’s condemned death row prisoners. It has been on hiatius while the U.S. Supreme Court looks into the legality of the procedures, but some have been contributing their own final meal requests…here’s mine!

• One large thin and crispy pepperoni pizza.
• One large cup of KFC Popcorn Chicken.
• A footlong Subway roasted chicken sub, with bacon, meatballs, lettuce, onion and carrot on Italian herbs and cheese bread.
• A few dollars worth of chips (proper chips, not McDonalds or KFC chips) - with chicken salt.
• Two 1.25L bottles of Coca Cola Zero
• A tub of Peters Light and Creamy Chocolate low fat ice-cream with low-fat chocolate topping.

Now that would be a way to go! Thoughts?

Remember these “classics”? The Death Wish series? Any film starring Chuck Norris? Even Superman IV: The Quest For Peace? Then this site might be up your alley.

A British-based site is undertaking a massive cataloguing effort to preserve the vast range of Cannon Films’s work and how the company prospered and took a massive fall. There’s even a YouTube channel with the best of the studios’s trailers and promotional material. Go and check it out!

As some of you might know, I love a good TV station closedown (and a startup too), and I was alerted to a fairly new blog at the USTV Sign-offs Yahoo group. The Television Close Down And Start Up Blog features a wide variety of closedowns and start-ups from around the world. Check it out sometime!
