TV Shows

OK…some TV is in order. Pickin’s is slim with the strike shutting
down many shows, but I will talk about a couple of shows right now.
First of all, my biggest, guiltiest pleasure…and go ahead and laugh all
you want. I cannot miss American Gladiators! I loved it as a kid, and
love it now. With DVR I cruise through all the blah blah blah talk, and
get right to the competitions, so the hour long show is about 20-25
minutes long. But it is great. The finale was on this past Sunday, and
the guy I was rooting for won. In the semi-finals another competitor
was talking all about how he was a Christian, and god gave him the
strength to do this…y’know, the usual thing. And then he loses…badly.
So how does he justify that? He was not worthy? He had sinned? God
abandoned him? Maybe god does not give a rat’s ass if he wins AG at
all? Wonder if he a pagan now?

Enough on that. Another Monday show is Terminator: The Sarah Conner
Chronicles. Initially I really loved the show, and I still love the
lead actress, Lena Headey (she is hot).
But I have started to cool on the show a bit, and I am not sure why
exactly. However, it only got about 9 eps, and is almost over, so I
will stick it out. But the rating have been so-so and it is REALLY
expensive to make, so I am betting it will not be back.

One more show, Medium. Never a big ratings hit, I still enjoy the show
a lot. They mixed things up a bit the end of last season and this
season, but it came off well. The thing I like best, as been mentioned
by many a critic, is that Allison and Joe have the most realistic
marriage on TV. And those who are married, especially for some time,
can feel it and relate. My wife thinks Joe is pretty hot too, so she
likes the parts where he gets out of bed in his boxers. It still
provides tension and thrills, but I wonder if it will make next season.
Though they are making more eps for this season, a good sign.

We will get into a LOT more TV as we go along.
