Some months ago we all had a day off from work because a television crew was using our offices to shoot a mini-series for ABC called “Kyle XY” . A couple of weeks ago, that episode aired on the ABC Family Channel, and a digitized version showed up on the Internet. Without too much trouble, I was able to get a DivX version that I can easily play (and even grab the odd screen from). What is particularly humorous to me now, is that it seems ludicrous to have the office (in the show) with all of those exposed beams and wood ceiling on the fifth floor of a six story building (We’re on the 3rd floor, but the rickety elevator just didn’t suit, so they used a stock shot). Nevertheless, the show is mildly diverting. (The plot in a nutshell: A foundling teenager with no memory, no belly button, and extraordinary talents for mathematics and computer hardware/software is either an alien or escaped lab experiment. He teaches his adoptive family of 2 parents and 2 teens valuable lessons in togetherness, honesty, tolerance, etc.) Oh, and the lead, Matt Dallas, who plays Kyle, manages to be both a hunk, and dewy at the same time.
