releases TNG on DVD like Fox does the X-Files (a season at a time).
Boy, that sure would be sweet. The Sopranos is a sweet thing also, as is Sex in the City (which I have) and Spawn (of which I have all three). But alas, 80 bucks for The Sopranos is a bit steep for me. I saw the price and balked. Paramount has a history of charging a premium for anything they license for ST and I think this would be high as well. But I guess I can hope.
Anybody out there with a DVD-RAM?

They will probably release TNG like they are doing the original ST - one/two DVDs at a time with 2 episodes on each disk.

All of this makes me feel like some sort of non-TV watching freak. 
The only shows I watch with any regularity these days are:
1) The Pretender
2) Hardball with Chris Matthews
3) VH1 Behind the Music
Other than that I typically only watch whatever interesting might be playing on the A&E, Discovery, Hitler^H^H^H^Hstory Channel, Animal Planet block on the DSS. Oh yeah, and I watch old Sesame Street and Electric Company episodes on Noggin with my daughter. If only Nickelodeon would start running old Mr. Wizard shows again, I'd never have to deviate from those channels (except for the occasional Comedy Central foray).
Shows I used to watch regularly:
1-3) above
4) X-Files
5) Simpsons
6) South Park
Don't get to watch 4-6 much anymore due to lack of remembering when they play (I mean being able to realize when it's the specific night of the week which they play, not that I don't know the night that they're scheduled to play). The shows that I watch regularly are either a) playing every night so I don't have to remember a schedule or b) my wife watches them too and she's got a better sense of time that way. OK, I think I've rambled enough...

Yep, saw the movie, and I'm impatiently waiting for the next one. 
(Rumored to be shown on April 9th.) Update:"Since AOL's recent acquisition of TNT, the air date of "Island of the Haunted" has once again been changed ... this time to December of 2001." - Lois' Daily Planet News Flash
If you need additional "The Pretender" fixes (other than the reruns and movies) there is a virtual season currently running at http://www.fanficweb.net/tvs/pretender/. I've created Peanut Reader versions of the episodes that the group uses. Check it out. Good stuff.

Ditto. A few times I used my Visor to check what day of the week it was.
I have my favorite shows in a GIST calendar, and they send me email reminders each day.
To add to my (long) list before - Dexter's Laboratory. I can't believe I forgot that one. ("Dee Dee, you are so stupid!" - Dex)

There are Pretenders among us.
Geniuses with the ability to become anyone they want to be.
In 1963, a corporation known as the Centre isolated a young Pretender
named Jarod, in order to harness his genius for their research.
Until, one day, their Pretender ran away....
