So Many Head Jokes, So Little Time

Bored with summer TV? Listless in the absence of your favorite shows? Posessed by the distinct sensation that there simply aren't a sufficient number of gun-toting chimpanzees in your life? Then by all means, make haste with great speed to the SciFi Channel's Web site, where you can watch the insanely wonderful new pilot, The Amazing Screw-On Head.

The pilot episode airs at 10:30 p.m. tonight on SciFi! (My apologies for not posting this sooner, but we've had Internet connection problems at home thanks to The New AT&T and, meanwhile, blogger.com's availability has been up and down over the past week.)

The Amazing Screw-On Head is a one-issue comic book by Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy. You might think that would make it easy to find. But I had to look through many, many booths at a number of comic conventions before I finally found a copy.

If you watch the pilot, take the "short online survey" to share your opinion with SciFi. How often do you get to tell a network you like (or don't like) what they're doing? I've been waiting for the TV premiere (well, and our Internet connection has been erratic), so I can't give my opinion just yet.
