The New TV Season

So far the new TV season is shaping up to have some really good shows. Of course the old favorites are back and better than ever.

Here’s a recap of what we’re watching at our house

Monday night –
King of Queens (CBS) – It is time to put an end to this show. Sorry but I can’t take the dumb, dumpy oblivious guy/hot wife thing anymore. For one thing Carrie isn’t that hot and she is really very unpleasant. Put this show to rest.

How I met Your Mother (CBS) – Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris, how awesome is that. This show has some real potential and the voice over of Bob Saget is good too. I love the show and want more of it.

Two and a Half Men (CBS) – I love it, don’t change a thing, the kid is going to be trouble this season, with the tween attitude. Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer are magic together, fantastic chemistry.

Out of Practice (CBS) – Take this off the air.

CSI Miami (CBS) – Squinty eyed, soft talking Lt. Kane is still the man. I see the introduction of new characters and I am glad that the rest of the cast is back and that they didn’t kill anyone off on the first episode like last year. That was harsh.

Tuesday night

Bones (FOX) – Great chemistry between David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel are great together. Keep the tension between the two up. It makes for good tv. It is weird seeing David Boreanaz in the daylight, I keep expecting him to get mad and vamp out. Don’t reveal too much of the characters personal lives yet, let that come out naturally, I think it is working so far.

My Name is Earl (NBC) – Laugh out Loud funny. Jason Lee is a great comedic actor, the way he delivers lines is fantastic. Ethan Suplee is equally as funny playing Earl’s layabout brother. The “It Takes Two” scenes were priceless.

The Office (NBC) – Watch the BBC version, it is better, this is just too painful to watch.

Law and Order SVU (NBC) – Is this the year Elliot finally loses it. He keeps getting darker and darker. Still a gripping hour of TV

Wednesday –
LOST (CBS) – Is there anything else on Wednesday.

Law and Order (NBC) – Fell out of favor with it last season for an earlier bedtime, watched the season premiere, good, not great.

Thursday –
Joey (NBC) – What can I say I liked friends and I like this formulaic drivel. It is a guilty pleasure.

CSI (CBS) –
Glad to see that the team is back, interesting to see the openings of CSI Miami and CSI, one team came from all over and the other team all together. I wonder how the season will end.

Friday – Go out and do something

Saturday – Ditto

Sunday –
The Simpsons (FOX) – I will never get tired of this

The War at Home (FOX) – Michael Rappaport is very funny, I think I need to give this one more observation.

Family Guy (FOX) – Who can we offend this week. Another oblivious doofus with a hot wife, albeit she is a cartoon hot wife. I just watch to hear Stewie say something in that accent.

American Dad (FOX) – Family Guy part Deux. Nothing new here.

Crossing Jordan (NBC) –
Another leading woman with some major issues. Allison likes this show. I like Jerry O’Connell, have since My Secret Identity and Sliders. So I watch.

Friday Foul-up

Taking a Page from Wes’ book and naming my posts for the days of the week. Don’t worry this will only happen once.

So this morning after I go downstairs and put a load of laundry in the washer I am walking through my living room and turning on my computer when I hear my sister Tara shout up to me. “Did you put stickers on the trash bags?” (In our town you can put $1.75 stickers on your trash bags to the garbage men pick them up.) “Yeah” I respond kinda annoyed, “Of course I put stickers on the bags.” I always put stickers on the bags after I have sealed them up with electrical tape (much easier and dependable than twist ties) Then I put them on the curb on Thursday night. Well, the bags were still there on Friday morning after the garbage men took all the trash from the rest of the street. However, there were no stickers on our bags. Someone removed our stickers (bag tags can also be substituted here) from our trash during the night. That is just annoying and sad. I swear I am beginning to get more and more annoyed with this street. What with the loud mouthed neighbors across the way sitting on their porch all day shouting at each other, the skateboarders tearing up the church steps and our granite walls, and the latest are the jerks on bmx bikes (do they still call them that) with trick pegs (not sure if that is what they are called, I am so old and out of touch with these damn kids) sliding along our granite wall, the noise goes right through me and it damages the wall. I can’t stand those kids and am tempted to install skate stoppers so I can see them smash their heads on the concrete (well, if they had been wearing helmets they would have been okay, can’t save the stupid.).

Speaking of those damn kids, I have found an new web comic called You Damn Kid! It is being optioned as a TV show. The premise of the comic is that there are these two kids who are growing up in the 50’s or 60’s and they are naive about what is going on around them but they made some interesting observations, it is like a twisted wonder years. However it is not safe for work. Some of the panels are a bit risque. However get past that and begin reading because some of the strips are snarf coke out of your nose funny.

Oh and I am home today for a dentists appointment, “fun, fun”.
