  • "Life on Mars": "Out Here in the Fields" (Pilot Episode)

     

    If you've been reading The Remote Island for a while, you know we're fans of the original British version of Life on Mars -- and we've been tracking the American series through all kinds of changes, from new producers to a new cast to a move in setting from L.A. to New York City. So how did the show turn out after all that? Pretty well -- though with all the introductory material in the pilot episode, we don't get to see this fantastic group of actors really show their stuff quite yet. And the story is virtually identical to the BBC's version -- which means if you've seen it, you already know what to expect. If not, you're lucky, because it's a unique and original concept.

    But let's start from the beginning:

  • Emmy Wants You To Pick The Most Memorable Moments In TV History

    And they're not just saying it. They mean you, checking your Hooksexup profile in your underwear.

    The most memorable moments in television history will be revealed during the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards next month, and it's up to voters to decide which bits should take top honors.

    Forty "moments" — 20 dramatic and 20 comedic — are in the running. Comedy contenders include "M-A-S-H," "Mork & Mindy," "Sex and the City" and "The Cosby Show," while "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Miami Vice," "Moonlighting" and "The Sopranos" are among the drama candidates.

    The television academy and Emmy show producers came up with the competition and the contenders in honor of the 60th annual presentation of the Emmy Awards. The Emmy telecast will also feature celebrities performing some of TV's most memorable lines over the past 60 years.

    We'd like to get all hoity-toity and be like "Well, of course, we're voting for the moment that I, Claudius finally beats the One-Armed Man" or whatever, but you know what? There's only one scene in the bunch that really sings to us -- literally. We still, to this very day, find ourselves doing dishes or walking down the street and suddenly, out of the blue, thinking about Cliff Huxtable and his family lipsyncing to Ray Charles. Like, seriously: that shit came out of NOWHERE, kind of makes no sense whatsoever -- and nobody cares because blows your freaking mind.

    Actually, we need to see it right now -- and we're guessing you do too. So grab "the one you love" and meet us after the jump.

  • The Cosby Show: Cliff Huxtable's Sweaters Never In Style, Now On Sale


    $5,000 and you can be the first on your block to own one of the very actual sweaters worn by Dr. William H. Cosby Jr. on his powerhouse sitcom That Show With All The Kids That Made NBC In The Eighties. They're soon to be on sale for charity via eBay, and according to the seller's page, they're "just in time for Father's Day." Well, we already got our dad a bunch of original batch Jello Brand Pudding Pops, thank you very much. (Yes, we're trying to murder him.) Click on through for a video reminder of how much you wanted one of those!

about the blogger

Bryan Christian has worked as a writer for Epicurious, GenArt and ID magazine; a web producer for WWD and Condé Nast; and a cameraman for his friends. He's married with roommate and lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Ben Kallen is an entertainment, health and humor writer who's been lectured to by Sidney Poitier, argued with by Lea Thompson and smiled at by Jennifer Connelly. He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home. She wrote for alternative weekly papers in the first two states, and tried to learn Lakota in the last. (The vowels can be tricky.) She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
