Today's Pick: Lost Highway
June 30th, 2008
We're starting the third week of the Hulu Days of Summer with something more surreal. At first glance, David Lynch's Lost Highway might not seem like the perfect summer movie, but let me explain: Sometimes fun in the sun doesn't fit your frame of mind. And when that mood strikes, I recommend closing the drapes, putting on Lost Highway and getting lost in the dark and lonely Los Angeles of David Lynch's imagination.
Lynch's films defy the rules of Hollywood. They're perverse, erotic and often incomprehensible, but that's the appeal. And in this case, casting actor Robert Blake to play the inherently creepy "Mystery Man" alongside Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette (Medium) was a stroke of genius.

Our Call of Duty
June 27th, 2008
A couple months ago, we received a call from the Department of Defense asking if we could help support the recovery of injured soldiers in Veterans' Hospitals around the country. They specifically asked if we could get a bunch of military-themed films on Hulu, and even gave us a list of famous war movies and television shows that they would like to have available. At the time, the closest thing we had was a couple seasons of McHale's Navy, which would certainly cure anyone's jones for Ernest Borgnine, but probably not much else.
The good folks at Twentieth Century Fox were able to provide eight films that capture much of the triumph and pain of war from their library. The Longest Day, the multi Oscar-winning movie about D-Day told from the perspectives of the Allied and German forces, had a great cast, including Richard Burton, Sean Connery, Red Buttons, Eddie Albert and Paul Anka. The Sand Pebbles was nominated for eight Academy Awards (including Best Actor for the great Steve McQueen) and co-starred Richard Attenborough and Candice Bergen.
We now also have 1943's Guadalcanal Diary, produced while WWII was still being fought, with a young Anthony Quinn in the cast; and also 2001's Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. There are four other classic films as well.
I have to admit that I was a little confused by the Department of Defense's request: If I were an injured soldier, would I want to watch a bunch of war movies in my recovery? It didn't make sense to me. But the camaraderie among and between soldiers is a unique thing, and in many ways not comprehensible to those of us outside the armed services. Shared and sharing experiences go a long way toward getting these folks through their jobs, their tours and, in this case, their recoveries.
So if a small collection of war movies (and McHale's Navy!) can help in any way, we are happy to supply them.
Good luck and thank you to all of our veterans,
Dave

Now on Hulu: Highlander, The Complete Series
June 26th, 2008
There are a number of shows we consider fan favorites at Hulu, and today's Hulu Days of Summer debut is on the short list. Full of plot twists and complex story lines -- not to mention sword fights and love scenes -- Highlander is a fantasy-driven, mid-1990s look at the adventures of Duncan MacLeod.
The special twist to this story? MacLeod's an immortal warrior who was born in Scotland more than 400 years ago. But he's not alone. Other immortals roam the world, clashing with each other in hopes of becoming the sole survivor of their kind. (These immortals aren't invincible -- they die when they are beheaded.) In each episode, an immortal seeks out MacLeod, hoping to finish him off so they're one step closer to being "the one."
One of the many reasons why Highlander is compelling is how it looks at the life of an immortal, showing how MacLeod copes with outliving his family and loved ones, his community, and even his culture. It all links back carefully to the Highlander movie -- an instance where the TV spinoff stays true to its cinematic roots.
Starting today, Seasons 3-6 join the first two on Hulu. If you're new to the show, feel free to dig in from start to finish here. Otherwise, you can pick up where you've left off with the first episode of season 3:

June 25th, 2008
While the Hulu Days of Summer moves forward, we're continuing to add more to the site, from minisodes of your favorite fighterfighter drama to headlines from the evening news. Here's what's new to Hulu this week:
Rescue Me Minisodes
Although new episodes of Rescue Me aren't due until next spring, Hulu offers an alternative to fill in the gap: Rescue Me Minisodes featuring the 62 Truck guys. Although the storylines are typically unrelated to the series, it's a chance to see the crew at its finest -- giving each other a hard time at the firehouse. In the first five-minute installment, pretty boy Sean goes on a cleansing fast, abstaining from food, booze and caffeine because he's been "feeling toxic." The rest of the company, of course, takes issue with this, beginning a tirade of toilet humor that culminates in the ultimate temptation: Lou's homemade doughnuts.
The Latest News, Now on Hulu
To help you stay on top of current events, Hulu now offers segments from three of NBC's leading news programs -- all updated daily. Clips from NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams cover important topics and stories from around the world, while our excerpts from the Today Show include great interviews, summer recipes and in-depth human interest stories, letting you tune in to the segments you're most interested in. Finally, for more in-depth political coverage, NBC's Meet the Press asks tough questions of policy makers. Several of the current clips (including this one) feature the best moments from the late host, Tim Russert.
You Asked For It: More Lost in Space
Lost in Space fans, we're listening. Episodes from the third season of the space-age classic are now available. In this final season, the Robinson family travels to far-flung worlds in an attempt to reach Earth or Alpha Centauri. Lost in Space is a fun, fast-paced adventure filled with 1960s-era special effects and explosions, aliens, spaceships and kitschy costumes and sets.
A Cosmic Voyage
Brush up on your science knowledge with a sweeping view of the universe. Morgan Freeman narrates Cosmic Voyage, a compelling short film about the big bang theory, particle physics and evolution, keeping the terminology light enough for novices to follow. The first portion explores the outer reaches of our universe before moving inward to protons, electrons and quarks. It's an interesting recap of modern science delivered with beautiful cinematography and cutting-edge computer animation.
Enjoy,

Introducing... ALF, Season 1
June 25th, 2008
As a child of the late '80s, I am honored to introduce ALF to the Hulu Days of Summer. It's hard to believe that this strange, hairy creature from the planet Melmac would have such an influence on pop culture. There was a time when he made the rounds on the talk show circuit and his not-so-handsome visage would appear on everything from lunchboxes to underwear.
I used to watch the show with my dad as a young boy (yes, I'm that young), and while he laughed at the dry wit and one-liners, I chuckled at the funny creature who chased the cat across the screen. This wasn’t exactly the Sesame Street that my mom wanted me to watch, but we got away with it. She appeared to disapprove, although there were moments (usually of great distress) when Mom's ALF impression would bubble to the surface. These impersonations would cause uproarious laughter from Dad and me because we knew that, deep down, Mom liked ALF, too.
I am very excited to relive my childhood by catching my favorite episodes of ALF, Season 1 on Hulu. Please sit back, take a peek into the simpler times of the 1980s, and enjoy the zaniness of our favorite orange-haired Alien Life Form. (Having a cat within reach is optional, but I suggest the tabby; Siamese is too lean.)

Collections are Here
June 24th, 2008
We’re always looking for new ways to share video here at Hulu, and our Collections are a great way to catch up on the shows and movies everyone’s talking about. Each collection is a group of clips that share the same theme, all together on a single page so it’s easy for you to browse and share your favorites.
We're compiled over 60 collections so far, but we know that's only scratching the surface. One of our newest collections is Famous Firsts. It features complete pilot episodes of some of our all-time favorite shows, from Arrested Development and The A-Team to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
You can also check out Entertainment Weekly's New Classics (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2), taken from the magazine's list of "the next generation of masterpieces." With House, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the list, we'd have to agree. Take a look and see who made it as No. 1.
We'll continue to create more collections, but visit anytime to catch up on the latest musical SNL Digital Shorts, get a quick dose of Leno headlines, and check out Conan's fan favorites. Or maybe you’re craving nothing but chicken? We’ve got it covered!
Of course, there’s also my personal favorite, the best of Jonah Hill on SNL, and a tribute to the late comedy great, George Carlin, including his monologue from the first episode of Saturday Night Live.

Today's Debut: Raising Arizona
June 24th, 2008
When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to watch television without asking permission. (Thanks again, Mom!) Occasionally, though, when my brothers and I were especially good, we'd get to pop a film into the VCR during dinner. One of my parents' favorite things was to show us movies from the '80s, videos we were too young to see the first time around. We started with Raising Arizona and I've been laughing ever since.
Week two of the Hulu Days of Summer brings Raising Arizona to our ever-growing list of movies. The first major hit for the Coen Brothers -- who went on to make O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men and The Big Lebowski -- it features Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a recently married ex-con and ex-cop who can't have a baby. Getting desperate, they kidnap one from a set of quintuplets. The baby's biological father hires a bounty hunter to get the baby back, and the ex-con's old friends bust out of jail. Clearly, things go downhill from there. Between Cage's mustache, Hunter's expressions and the witty Coen dialogue, Raising Arizona is one of my favorites.
Now that I'm allowed to watch as much TV as I want (one of the advantages of being a grown-up), I sometimes find myself watching this movie again. What can I say? I have a great appreciation for physical humor, witty dialogue and ridiculous southern accents. Hopefully, after watching this, so will you!

Angel - Season 1 Debuts Today
June 23rd, 2008
The Hulu Days of Summer continues this week, starting with the premiere of the first season of Angel. If you're a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you're probably familiar with her demon-killing boyfriend from the first few seasons of the show, Angel (played by Bones star David Boreanaz). Although Angel is a vampire himself, he's not like other blood-suckers: A band of gypsies restored his human soul as punishment for murdering one of their own. As a result, he's plagued by guilt and remorse for all of the lives he ended to feed his thirst for blood -- he's a vampire with a conscience, if you will.
After three seasons of kicking demon butt alongside Buffy, he ultimately decided to continue paying penance for his past sins by moving to -- where else? -- Los Angeles. And so Angel begins. As the city's newest private detective, he fights evil in order to help the helpless.
Angel keeps a lot of the same humor I enjoy so much in Buffy, but its stories are a little darker. After all, Buffy's a suburban high school student, while Angel has immersed himself in the seedier underbelly of Los Angeles. With the help of Cordelia (Buffy's high-maintenance gal pal) and a few others, Angel uses his skills to rescue wannabe actresses from bloodthirsty vampires, save yuppies from parasitic monsters, and protect single twentysomethings from jealous ghosts, all as he battles the demons within.
With cameos from your favorite Buffy stars, including Oz, Wesley, Faith and even Buffy herself, Season 1 is a lot of fun -- and it's all available on Hulu, including the first episode:

Summer Spirit
June 20th, 2008
The Hulu Days of Summer continues! So far, Hulu's delivered the goods, with top-tier entertainment -- Lost in Translation, The Three Stooges, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the best from PBS -- to keep you tuned in this summer. And now, Hulu brings some deliciously sinful entertainment to the mix with Bring It On.
Like other high-school movies, Bring It On is full of backstabbing, quick wit and drama, this time with a cheerleading twist. A perky Kirsten Dunst plays Torrance, the new captain of the Toros cheer squad. Five-time national champions, the team expects to reign supreme once again -- until a tough-as-nails newcomer (Eliza Dushku) threatens it all when she reveals that their routines are ripped off from an inner-city squad (led by Gabrielle Union) who have all the right moves, but not enough cash to enter the competition.
What happens next? Drama, of course! But there's fun, too: killer jumps, backflips and hilarious one-liners. The bombastic, ESPN-worthy choreography and the snappy comebacks make this one of my favorite teen flicks. See for yourself -- and check back next week to see what else is coming to Hulu this summer.

TV for Your Mind
June 19th, 2008
The fourth day of the Hulu Days of Summer brings some cerebral content to the site: Five new series from Hulu's newest content provider, PBS.
When I was a child, I often got to stay up late to watch Nova with my parents. Not only did the show foster a love for science, but also a keen interest in the spectacular -- and Nova has both in abundance. Nova comes to Hulu with 14 amazing episodes, from the Lost King of the Maya to a behind-the-scenes look at the Mars Exploration Rover project.
In addition to Nova, we're launching 10 episodes of Scientific American Frontiers -- an entertaining look at the latest trends in science, medicine, technology and the environment with the ever-charismatic host, Alan Alda. In a similar vein, we have 10 episodes of Wired Science, spotlighting the latest in cutting-edge research and technology as it redefines our culture, brought to you by the team behind Wired Magazine. If you like the magazine, you will love this show. Architecture and design fans will want to tune into design: e2. It moves "green" to the forefront of building practices and habitability, bringing sustainable architecture indoors as it explores the impact on concrete jungles and our homes alike.
My newest favorite, Carrier, takes you aboard the USS Nimitz -- a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier -- and gives you an incredible look at the day-to-day operations of one of the world's largest warships. It shows what it's like to manage an airport that floats 24 stories off the water; check out this clip of Navy F-18 pilots taking off from the flight deck at 130 miles per hour:
One of the things I've always appreciated about PBS is that they are publicly supported, with no commercial breaks in their shows. We've done our best to support that format here at Hulu. While you'll see a couple short advertisements at the beginning of each show, as well as some "overlay" ads (the ads that appear at the bottom of a video), we've made sure you can watch episodes as they were intended, with no ad breaks.
Love what you see? Continue to support your local PBS station to keep great shows like these coming. In the meantime, I can't wait to see more from PBS -- and it's a good bet that I'll be staying up late to watch!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
June 18th, 2008
Day three of the Hulu Days of Summer brings a brilliant, mind-bending, description-defying movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Romance, comedy, horror, science fiction -- the movie is both all of these and something all its own.
Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) were once in love, but when their relationship goes sour, she undergoes an experimental procedure to erase her memories of him. When he discovers this, he chooses to undergo the same procedure. But as his memories of her start to evaporate, he begins to remember why he fell in love with her in the first place, and, trapped in his own mind, he begins a desperate struggle to salvage his best memories of her.
This meditation on the nature of love and memory benefits from some of the best work from two ingenious talents, Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry. Kaufman's screenplay is both structurally brilliant and deeply humane and won him an Oscar, while Gondry transforms Kaufman's conceits about memory into brilliant visual metaphors that are both poignant and horrifying, with a texture and surrealism that is missing from so many digital special effects today, so often lifeless in their flawless artifice. Add in a pitch-perfect score by Jon Brion and a performance by Winslet that's so full of life, she makes Carrey seem subdued, and you have one of the most unique romantic comedies you'll ever see.
It's one of my favorite movies ever, and no amount of advanced technology could erase it from my memory. We're thrilled to be able to share it with you.
Today's Premiere: The Three Stooges
June 17th, 2008
Looking for some good laughs today? Check out the latest Hulu Days of Summer premiere, The Three Stooges Collection. Spanning 1934 to 1936, the shorts feature some of Larry, Curly and Moe's most memorable moments, including Pop Goes the Easel, all remastered for the best quality and sound.
From boxing rings to breweries, the Three Stooges bring chaos and goofball humor wherever they go. And with classic gags, one-liners, physical slapstick and outrageous storylines, the jokes are still funny today, over 70 years later.
If you're a fan of eye pokes, face slaps, hollow head knocks and knuckle cracks (and who isn't?), tune in now, and check in tomorrow to see which Oscar-winning movie is up next in the Hulu Days of Summer.

Welcome the Hulu Days of Summer
June 16th, 2008
Welcome to the Hulu Days of Summer! All summer long, we're introducing great new videos every weekday -- bringing you the content you've been asking for: great movies, more TV shows and awesome sci-fi flicks.
This week gets off to a great start with Lost in Translation, Sophia Coppola's Academy Award-winning film about two lost souls who cross paths in Tokyo. It's a gorgeous movie, one that I love not only for the sweet, sad and funny way it tells the story of Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and Bob (Bill Murray), but for the way it juxtaposes the contrasts of Japan itself: quiet and serene in hotel rooms and shrines; brash, colorful and loud on city streets. And then there's Bill Murray's character: a washed-up movie star who comes to Japan to film a whisky commercial, a nuanced performance I'd never expect from this guy:

Happy Father's Day!
June 15th, 2008
Having a new baby in the house can be exhausting -- and with a new arrival in the house, I know this firsthand -- but it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. But because it's nice to have a reminder, I've been using what little downtime I have to enjoy our new Just for Dads collection, put together just in time for Father's Day. The clips -- including great fatherly moments from Family Guy, The Simpsons, 30 Rock and Field of Dreams -- are just the right length for a busy dad like me. Check them out, and share your Hulu favorites with dad on Sunday.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Too Good for TV
June 13th, 2008
Hulu is committed to bringing you the finest produced content on the web, no matter where it comes from -- and some of the best videos on our site may have never made it onto your TV screen. Since launch, you’ve probably noticed the hilarious news updates from Onion News Network, hopped on a tour van with The All-For-Nots, goofed off with The Squeegees, or got caught up with the thrills of Satacracy 88 and Prom Queen.
Even as Hulu continues to expand its library of TV shows, we'll continue to add new shows from the best digital producers. Some highlights include the self-indulgent twentysomethings on 2/8 Life, a Winnebago road trip with Roadents, a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the insanity of Hollywood in The Writer’s Room, and a flashback to freshman year with Dorm Life.
Meanwhile, international best-selling author Robin Cook has teamed up with Michael Eisner to bring his new thriller, Foreign Body, to the Web:

The Hulk is Back
June 12th, 2008
It's been a summer of action heroes: First Iron Man, then Indy, Kung-Fu Panda and Zohan. And now the Hulk is here. Starring Edward Norton, the latest incarnation of The Incredible Hulk roars into theaters tomorrow, and many of us are looking forward to watching the massive monster rumble across the big screen.
Though the Hulk originated as a Marvel comic book series, we became more familiar with Dr. Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk TV series, starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. (Ferrigno's voice stars in the new film, as well.) If you're planning to catch the film in theaters this weekend, get in the spirit with episodes from the first season of the series, starting with the pilot:
For the inside scoop on the film, check out Attack of the Show's interview with director Louis Leterrier for more info about Easter eggs and nods to other Marvel superheroes, plus talk of a possible sequel.

Programming Notes
June 11th, 2008
Hulu made waves with the introduction of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report to the site this week, but that's not all. Here’s what else came in over the last few days:
Hulu Heats Up
One of our favorite summer shows is back on Hulu: The complete first season of USA's Burn Notice, just in time to catch us up for the second season. Michael's a former spy who's been burned (spy-speak for getting fired). With no money to his name, he returns home to Miami to piece his life back together -- and to figure out who burned him and why. Along the way, he uses his Special Ops skills to help others in need, giving us the lowdown on the ins and outs of being a secret agent. Fun fact: Star Gabrielle Anwar, who plays Michael's fierce ex, Fiona (below), danced the tango with Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.
Now Available: Complete Episodes of Silver Spoons, Season 1
Child stars often have a hard time crossing over into adult roles, and Silver Spoons star Rick Schroder spent years trying to live down his teen idol status. He eventually succeeded with major roles in Lonesome Dove and on NYPD Blue. With full episodes of the first season of Silver Spoons now available from Hulu, you can see the charm that got Rick on the cover of Tiger Beat -- and check out an old-school Jason Bateman:
New Season: 30 Days
Morgan Spurlock made headlines when he went on a 30-day McDonald's diet for his documentary Super Size Me. His critically acclaimed series 30 Days gives a diverse group of people the chance to experience radically different lives for a month. In Working in a Coal Mine, Spurlock signs himself up to work in a coal mine in his home state, West Virginia. 30 Days is about as real as reality shows get -- and definitely worth a watch. Like this episode? Watch the first season and subscribe to the series (click on "subscribe to episodes") so new episodes go straight to your queue.
Fashion First
For fashionistas who can't wait for the next season of Project Runway, Hulu has just the thing. CHIC.TV Models gives you the scoop on the world of modeling, from manicures and makeup to life off the runway. You'll recognize some of the featured models from Project Runway, including Season 4's Lea Rannells and Marcia Mitchell. For fashion trends, CHIC.TV Fashion offers designer interviews and runway wrap-ups; FashionMojo covers everything from prom dresses to shoes that would make Carrie Bradshaw proud.
Remembering The Duke
Academy Award-winning actor John Wayne passed away on June 11, 1979. The epitome of rugged masculinity, he was an American icon, the star of Westerns and war movies, as well as John Huston's The Barbarian and the Geisha, a historical drama about an American ambassador in 1850s Japan. Tune in to pay homage to a true legend.

Your Moment of Zen, Now on Hulu
June 10th, 2008
Since joining Hulu, I've seen many great shows come to the site, but none as exciting to me as today's addition of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report. I’ve been a fan of both shows for years, but I don’t always have the time to watch them. Now that full episodes are available on Hulu, I can finally fit them into my schedule.
What impresses me most about both shows is how consistently fresh and insightful they are as they present a comedic look at the world and news around us. A lot of shows offer the facts around current events, but very few uncover the greater truths that are masked by the slick surface of telestrators and headlines crawling across the screen of cable news.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart centers on host Jon Stewart as he uses cable news segments to provide satiric commentary on the day's headlines, but the show also features hilarious reports from a great team of correspondents (The Office's Steve Carrell being just one alum) and Stewart's hard-hitting interviews. Always incredibly prepared, he can speak knowledgably to authors and take newsmakers to task on issues. His recent interview with former White House spokesman Scott McClellan (below) was brilliant -- it’s no wonder that over 20 percent of young Americans say they got their news from the show during the last election cycle.
The Colbert Report's great conceit is that host Stephen Colbert (a former Daily Show correspondent) is playing the role of Stephen Colbert, a glib, conservative, close-minded pundit from a cable news show. He wraps himself up in this pompous role completely -- but part of the fun is to catch the moments when the façade cracks and he too succumbs to the joke of his own idiotic statements.
Colbert and Stewart provide plenty of moments that are worth sharing and now that they're on Hulu, it's easy to spread the word. I plan to pick out my favorite segments from each episode and e-mail them to my friends so we can all keep up on the latest developments in this year's presidential election. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

New Feature - Embedded Search
June 5th, 2008
At Hulu, our mission is to help users find and enjoy premium video content. When you want to track down something online, Web search is usually the first thing that comes to mind; it's one of the true joys of the Internet that I can't imagine surfing without. Think up what you want and locate it immediately: It's a hard proposition to beat.
From Firefly and Gossip Girl to Heroes and South Park, we know there are a lot of videos you want to watch, and the Hulu Beijing team works hard every day to make the search experience at Hulu.com live up to your expectations. To that end, we offer search results not only from the 50-plus content providers available at Hulu.com, but also from other premium video sites across the Web.

Type your search query into the text field in the top right corner of an embedded Hulu player.

You'll get immediate results, displayed right on the video screen. You can scroll right or left to browse, or click on the search term (in this case, "arrested development") to go to Hulu.com for more results.

Summer's almost here! Though the official start of summer is still a couple of weeks away, the "second season" on TV kicked off this week, with a new series about a tough-talking Federal marshal who's also a babe, plus an inside view at the oh-so-complicated lives of some infamous Hollywood moms -- and a whole lot more!
New Series
Federal marshals Mary Shannon (played by West Wing's Mary McCormack) and Marshall Mann help witnesses adjust to their new lives and identities. Dealing with mobsters, drug dealers and call girls on In Plain Sight, Mary and Marshall do it all, from picking up groceries and dealing with the cable company to roughing up suspects and tracking down murderers. With Mary's tough-but-sexy demeanor and witty remarks, this is one summer show you don't want to miss.
Reality Check
After watching the first batches of clips from Living Lohan and Denise Richards: It's Complicated, we can tell LiLo's mom and the former Mrs. Charlie Sheen will give us plenty to watch this summer. Our collection of clips from each show gives you the highlights of each episode in convenient, one- to two-minute doses like this one from Denise Richards: It's Complicated.
Finals Fever
With the Red Wings leading the Stanley Cup finals 3-2, tonight's matchup in Pittsburgh could determine who gets to have their names engraved on The Holy Grail. Game 5 of the series on Monday featured some of the best moments in NHL history. If you missed any of the action, check out the Red Wings vs. Penguins, Game 5 in its entirety right here on Hulu. More of a basketball fan? Catch highlights of the Lakers vs. the Celtics as the NBA Finals get underway tomorrow night.
Series Spotlight
After Hours with Daniel features acclaimed French chef Daniel Boulud as he hosts after-hour dinner parties at the hottest restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. As a recent transplant to L.A., I'm looking forward to eating at all of the spots Daniel visited in season 2. I can already check Father's Office off my list; I think Pizzeria Mozza is next.
Remembering Earle Hagen
Composer Earle Hagen passed away on May 26 at the age of 88. He wrote and performed the theme songs to many classic TV shows, including the whistled theme to the Andy Griffith show, plus songs for Mod Squad, Eight is Enough, That Girl and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Earle, you'll be missed.
Enjoy the show!
