Last Friday, the Long Island public broadcasting station, WLIW, rebooted their Friday night schedule of Britcoms. Some of them began again with their first episodes ('A Fine Romance', 'Keeping Up Appearances', 'As Time Goes By', 'My Hero'), and two other series joined the line-up - 'Mulberry' and 'Supernova'.
'Supernova' is about Dr. Paul Hamilton, who is having a mid-life crisis in London so he jumps at the offer to work at an astronomical observatory in the Autralian outback. It looks like it's going to be a fish-out-of-water romantic series, sort of like 'Northern Exposure'.
The show takes place at the Royal Australian Observatory, whose brochure trumpets the acronym of "RAO". Rao was the name of the red sun of Krypton in the Superman mythos, (as seen here in 'Smallville') so I thought it made for an interesting coincidence.....
As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"
