Here's a link to a lengthy article that reviews the recent DS 40th Anniversary Weekend and discusses Lara Parker's DS novels as well as the new Big Finish Audios:

Comics in Cotext #149: Forty Years in Shadows

This is somewhat related to Selby's on again / off again status with the LA Theatre Works Caine Mutiny Court-Martial tour. There's now a blurb on his official site indicating that he will be appearing in a new series for HBO that's supposed to premiere in 2007. The current title for the show is Tell Me You Love Me, but, in its earlier stages of development, it was known as SexLife. (I liked the old title better.  ) Selby will be playing Jane Alexander's husband.

Here are some random snippets about the show:

• Tim DeKay.com - official site of one of the show's stars; indicates that Jane Alexander's character is therapist and that the series will air following The Sopranos on Sunday nights; notes that the series will be edgy
• Variety.com - an early article about the series, prior to the filming of the pilot and its subsequent pickup by HBO; indicates that the series will push boundaries
• IMDB.com - Internet Movie Database entry for the series under its original working title

On Saturday, September 9, 89.3 KPCC FM in Southern California aired the LA Theatre Works production of Hugh Whitemore's Pack of Lies, starring Julian Sands, David Selby, Rosalind Ayres, and Martin Jarvis. This performance was originally recorded in June 2004. It is available on compact disc from the LA Theatre Works web site.

The broadcast has been archived on the KPCC web site in Real Audio format, and you can listen to it at your leisure through Saturday, September 16, when it will be replaced by another play. Click here to access it.

When AOL launched their free In2TV broadband television service on March 15, they featured the first nine episodes of Falcon Crest plus the original unaired pilot. Since David Selby didn't join the show as Richard Channing until the second season, none of those episodes included him.

Today, AOL removed five FC episodes and added five new ones. Now, a logical person would expect AOL to add the next five episodes in the series, but AOL and logic (and service and several other things you'd expect from an ISP) don't go together too well. They added the tenth episode of the first season and four other episodes, each from different seasons of the show. It looks like they were trying to pick season finale episodes, but only three of the four seemingly random episodes are, in fact, finale eps. I've given up on trying to figure out what the hell the logic is.

At any rate, you can access the episodes from the In2TV Falcon Crest page. The first five episodes listed are the newest ones. Selby doesn't appear in "Victims," but he is in the other four. You don't have to be an AOL subscriber, but you do have to be using a Windows PC. The service doesn't work with Macs. (Don't look at me.  )

A few odds and ends:

• Information about David's possible participation in a touring version of L.A. Theatre Works' Caine Mutiny Court-Martial has been added to the Upcoming Appearances section of the News page.
• The premiere date for Black Hole has been added to the Events Calendar on the What's New? page and to the News page.
• Information about a second book signing in Morgantown held this past week has been added to the Recent Appearances section of the News page. Anyone who attended is invited to share photos on the site.
• The oft imitated and sometimes flat-out duplicated (most recently by the WV Book Festival) Biography page has been updated to include recent projects.

Michael Stroka made an appearance in an episode of Wonder Woman in 1978. For anyone interested, I've posted a slideshow of screen grabs on my Dark Shadows Alumni site.
