MSNBC at least was showing the shuttle landing in part of the broadcast. CNN didn't even break in for a moment to show it.
Sorry, CNN website showing the same report doesn't count in my book and its 'live' web video was still a bit behind the live tv coverage on MSNBC.

New Amsterdam Trailer (not)
Ok, I tried embedding from YouTube a trailer for New Amsterdam through one of their 'share' methods. Took -several- days for the trailer to appear in the blog. Very, very annoying. Just deleted the code. If you are curious, try searching for it yourself on YouTube. I think I'll just link to the YouTube page in a more conventional way in the future.
In any case, DVR failed recording this past episode, glad iTunes store had it available.

New Amsterdam
"You will not grow old. You will not die until you find the one and your souls are wed." says the medicine woman New York City Detective John Amsterdam saves. Of course at the time he saves her he isn't a detective, and New York City isn't quite New York yet. The new show "New Amsterdam" tells the story of the immortal John Amsterdam solving of crimes while looking for 'the one'.
The new series on FOX, has brought up comparisons with Highlander and the book by Pete Hamill, Forever: A Novel (I think Forever may be the closer comparison). So far after the first two episodes, I'm eagerly waiting the third. Just some of the revelations of John's past (and present) as well as having it set in New York makes it very compelling to me.
I was glad to see Zuleikha Robinson playing John's new partner. First noticed her in the movie Hidalgo, then saw her in the HBO series Rome (another big favorite series of mine).
I really liked how the first episode ends with John learning from the Lene Lenape Medicine Woman why he is still and will stay alive then cutting to a stylized/accelerated view of New York City changing from an early settlement to the modern city as John watches. Actually I think what really makes the scene for me is the song played during it. More on that in a future post.
