Now that I’ve been back home for a couple of days, I should probably get around to unpacking and maybe some other productive activities like doing dishes and cleaning. Afterall, I did manage to fit in the first season of 24 and plenty of sleep so some balance is in order.

While much of 24 [...]

Yes, this “Family Edition” of The Amazing Race both sucks and blows. But I’ve been watching each week out of commitment to the previouls wonderful installments. And the sooner this one’s over, the sooner the producers can move onto the next season and hopefully return to form. Some ramblings while watching the [...]

Where do the inhabitants of Stuckeyville go to die/get horribly maimed? Apparently Lost.

First Carol Vessey gets messed up in that car accident. And who knows what’s happened to her since the wedding, but Jack certainly isn’t wearing his ring anymore. Now poor Dr. Mike survives the plane crash, only to be done [...]

Such a Star Wars geek. I’m not a fan of The Apprentice, but here I am, watching teams come up with displays for Best Buy to sell the Episode III DVD and the Battlefront II game. I didn’t plan on watching it at all, but I was strangely entranced once the Star Wars [...]

My Lock and Shoe-in of the Week … the Gamble-Tron 2000’s 200-point favorite … yes, the Five-Star Silver Bullet Upset Special … here we go. With ten Survivors left, I’m taking a stand and boldly declaring that the winner will be none other than … Cindy!

Don’t let me down!

Ahhh, nothing like camping out in front of the TV for basically an entire weekend. But there was a plan to my slothfulness, consisting as it did of a marathon of Lost. While a couple of other people were set to join me at one point, other plans and sickness intervened. So, [...]

While I have been fairly busy the last couple of weeks, a main reason for lack of updates around here is that my free time has been taken up by a new TV addiction: Veronica Mars.

I had only a vague idea of what the show was about before downloading last year’s premiere season: something about [...]

Leave it to Family Guy to perfectly capture the essense of the Gilmore Girls fantasy. Click here.

Note: ignorantly made with Windows Movie Maker and DivX 6 codec, so who knows how well this will play with the masses.

The last episode of Six Feet Under was fantastic. I find finales are often a let down, but I think series mastermind Alan Ball sent the show off on a perfect note. Needless to say, there may be spoilers in my comments.

Even if the show had ended with Claire driving away, it would [...]

A plan has formed. The series finale of Six Feet Under is downloading now. If I wake up at six, I will have plenty of time to watch it before heading off to work and still making it to the office at 9. A little later than what is now usual, but [...]

I just finished watching the second season of Six Feet Under. Good thing I have all the other episodes downloaded, because this cliffhanger would be a doozy to have to wait through. Well, really, you know Nate isn’t going to bite the dust, but still.

The finale continued my recent streak of Lost actors [...]

OMG! Luke is the sponge-worthy dude!

It’s crazy who shows up on old Seinfeld reruns. Scott Patterson (Luke of Gilmore Girls) is the guy who pleads his case about being sponge-worthy to Elaine. Ha!

Damn that JJ Abrams and his love of cliffhangers! Not that I’m all that surprised by how the finales of Lost and Alias leave you wanting more, the first two seasons of Alias ended just about every episode this way. But son of a bitch! Assuming both shows are back in the [...]
