live? it?s saturday night?
2008-04-16 19:43:00 So I?ve actually added Saturday Night Live to tivo, though historically I?ve tended to scan through and maybe watch the Weekend Update news piece and seek out that maybe one funny bit. My biggest problem is the obvious, the skits aren?t funny, what?s mildly funny is dragged into a long ongoing series of no longer funny skits, ...

potpourri
2008-04-09 22:25:00 Not much to report on tv shows themselves this week so I thought I?d just check in on a few things of note. NBC released its year round upfront to the upfronts. Although I actually try not to pay much attention to these since everything changes or disappears before it goes live but, worth noting are a ... More About: Potpourri

2008-04-03 20:25:00 The ANTM ladies are getting less, which means we actually have an opportunity to tell who’s who.

my must-see movies
2008-04-01 21:04:00 So I like to do an annual top ten movie list, since I typically see a lot of movies. Unfortunately with all the movies that come out at the end of the year that are supposed to be great, I am always quite behind. I have been planning to do a little catch up on dvds but as ...

2008-03-27 20:21:00 Well we’re only on a brief break until the approximately five additional post strike episodes start to air in late April, but I have to say I can’t wait.

situation whatever
2008-03-24 21:33:00 They are called sitcoms after all, for situation comedy, but the more that I see half hour comedies succeed and fail, the more the situation seems less important. I don’t think ‘Friends’, or ‘Seinfeld’, or ‘The Cosby Show’ really were great because of how they were set up. It came down to the writers, the ... More About: Situation

2008-03-20 19:19:00 Well on American Idol we are down to the final ten, which in Idol terms is apparently important because these ten are the ones who ?go on tour.? Whatever that means?

irregular shows, regular problems
2008-03-06 06:41:00 I don?t do much typical show review posting here but last night?s viewing of ‘New Amsterdam’ made me pause and think about some of these fantastical shows that I love. And some that I don?t. I didn?t love ‘New Amsterdam’. The premise is that the lead character has been alive for centuries because some native ... More About: Problems , Regular

2008-02-27 20:53:00 I’m as caught up as I’m going to be before tomorrow night’s episode. So of the Losties we’ve got Jack, Kate, Hugo, Sayid, and Aaron…?

and the show went on
2008-02-25 19:52:00 Well the Oscars were neither canceled nor postponed thanks to the writer’s strike settling. We were sort of wondering if they had enough time to write jokes for Jon Stewart, and if maybe he might not have been better off just winging it.

2008-02-14 20:19:00 And no I’m not talking about presidential politics. Now’s the time for America to start choosing their next Idol. For the most part I’m not sure that the populous vote works on artistic endeavors but the show has certainly made some stars. Some sell records, some win Grammys, think Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, oh and then ... More About: Votes

2008-02-04 19:55:00 Well this weekend I caught up on Lost . I watched the pop up video styles of last season’s two hour finale and watched the recap episode to bring us up to date.
