Fringe Groups

Fringe: Pilot

JJ Abrams had some great pilots; Felicity, Lost, What About Brian, and Alias.
Then there are the stinkers Six Degrees and now Fringe.
It's like Ghost Whisperer meets the X-Files but in a bad way. Little was interesting about this show so I'll give it one more episode before I get into to details.


The Shield: Snitch
This was a great episode with the best scene was when they arrested two Spook Street gang members and then the thugs proudly walked down the street while the neighborhood yelled "Spook Street Ayea!"

.

It was reminiscence of Republican National Convention when the group yelled USA!USA!USA! to drown out anything else they found objectionable. Just seeing such a scary mob mentality in the name of pride is something.

Kids, Cops, and U.K. Stereotypes

90120: We're Not in Kansas Anymore
So was it me or did that kid from Degrassi have some odd conversations with her adopted brother. I mean in a bikini, on his bed, and about naughty sex. They do make a cute couple.
The show was slightly interesting but typical of a soap. The acting was one of the worst I've seen in years. Okay now I can just wait for the series finale to see how it ends.

The Shield: Coefficient of Drag
Intense acting plus tons of blood equals series finale.
It was good but the names of the bad guys are incomprehensible.

• Zadofian
• Luis Aramboles
• Beth Insardi
• Ellis Rezian
• Cruz Pezuela

Autumn Chiklis is the actual daughter of the star of the show and plays his daughter on the show, freaky.


Bones: Yanks in the U.K.
Bones goes to speak at Oxford University and wouldn't you know someone dies. The first half of this two hour episode was nice and sweet with love blooming and life amongst death. Then the second half started and every lovely moment from the first half was destroyed.

The shows jokes consisted mostly of the rude Americans running around making fun of the British. It was funny plus I learned a truck is called lorry??? Who knew...well maybe some British people knew.

Daily Show: September 3, 2008
I'm not watching the political conventions since it's just hot air blowing used to elected. What was great were all the hypocritical moments shown on today's episode.
Nice to see so many quotes directly contraindicating themselves just because of the new VP candidate.

Sad Kathy

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List

Kathy is back in season 3 of this reality show. One of the few reality shows I watch only because she is funny. Although she did have a teary outburst when talking about her ex-husband and how he betrayed her.

It should be great to watch her date but I think she has a friend with benefits in her new roommate Tom. By the way aren't all her assistants annoying TV whores.


The Shield: Spanish Practices

Well not what I expected for a season finale but it leaves you with a smile as now Vic has all the power for next season.

It will be great to see Vic in control not having to do side deals.

The Shield

The Shield: On The Jones

I was not a fan of this until my clever little TiVo recorded the pilot episode and every episode after that for two seasons. I got hooked and with TiVo's help I watched nearly every episode.

Yesterday was the season premiere and it was good.

Detective Vic Mackey is on war path after the grenade death of Detective Curtis Lemansky. Mackey is having all kinds of problems as Lt. Jon Kavanaugh is framing him for the crimes that he should be in prison for anyway.

They used the word S**T at least a dozen times every 15 minutes, making the show edgy. Well that and all the dead bodies.

It is a great show and it is the only new thing on while I'm on my crappy spring break.
