And maybe we will come back

 Ha[iku]'s Corner: Sweeter Than Sweetness Itself, Part Two

No topiccane2 Cane fields! Machetes!
Rum-dazed drama in the sun!
White gold is the prize

CBS is running promos for Cane, a new series coming this fall that's set in the exciting world of rum production. Jimmy Smits stars as rum baron Alex Vega, who battles revenuers, spies, and his own family in his quest to make the perfect Cuba Libre. Something like that, anyway; the promo was rapidly cut, but did its job in making Cane look good--now, could it surpass '80s Australian sugarcane-cutting drama Fields of Fire (and the cane fields did indeed catch fire on at least one occasion, as I recall) and the sixth-season Simpsons episode Lisa's Rival (the B plot of which concerned Homer's efforts to profit from the scavenged contents of an overturned sugar truck) to become the best sugar-related entertainment ever?

Also, Studio 60 finally went off the air on Thursday night, and we shall not see its absurdly expensive, all-star, scattershot, over-ambitious like again.

 Ha[iku]'s Corner: Promotional Consideration

No topictv Promos are tricky
They must whet the appetite
But not spoil it

In this golden age of television, quality shows abound--but how do you connect your show with the viewers who would enjoy it if only they'd give it a chance? And what happens when you cross the line and someone gets hurt? You won't believe your eyes when you see what Johnny Superfecta has to say on the subject in this article, which ends with the most heart-stopping three sentences you'll read this year.

(I know you're pumped now, but please don't go any further if you haven't watched the 24 APR 07 House yet.)

 Ha[iku]'s Corner: GC's Cuba Impressions

Trips and Travel I recently had a chance to visit the socialist country of Cuba during the second week of April 2007. These are my reports. Please forgive me, for I have fallen in love with Cuba. I will try not to let this bias affect my reports.

They're at APECON 2


Take a good look at these chimps, and no, don't just imagine them wearing sailor suits and chuckle to yourself. They've got conquest on their minds--they want to kill YOU and usurp YOUR place in society--will you have an answer for your kids when they ask, "Daddy, what did you do in the ape war?"
