I Feel Nauseous, Quick To The Hospitals

House: Whac-A-Mole

A kid comes in with vomit and two kids and leaves with the vomit. A teenager is raising his brother and sister because their parents died. He chooses to stay sick and the kids go to foster care. Not a bad episode but the formula of make a patient sicker to cure them is getting ridiculous.
In this episode the little sister was played by Cassi Thomson and ends up in foster care.

Grey's Anatomy: From A Whisper to a Scream
Dr. Yang seriously screws Dr. Burke but not in a good freaky red pantie way. Everyone else besides Meredith is all mopey and depressed. Great extra long episode.

ER: Scoop and Run
This was a Dr. Abby Lockhart centered episode. She is a heroine and inspiration during a bus crash over the cliffs of Chicago??? Dr. Tony Gates and Dr. Neela got it on but I think he only did it to make it clear his live-in girlfriend/friend that their relationship is over, very scummy indeed. Everyone else in the ER was falling in love left and right.
In this episode the foster girl was played by Cassi Thomson coincidently.

General Hospital: 11/??/06
Luke and Laura had their last wedding but I found it interesting that in the backyard where they held the wedding were palm trees. No big deal you say. Well since it is in upstate New York in November I think it is kind of retarded of the director of that episode to show them so many times.

Before I Forget: Reba

Reba: Let's Get Physical/Just Business
One of the last sitcoms on TV is back for it's sixth season and it's damn funny. I was laughing out loud throughout both episodes. The episodes dealt with Barbra Jean Booker Hart (Melissa Peterman) dramatic weight loss.

The scene where she was exercising with her trainer had me rolling. Reba was jealous of her and playing the "straight man" is always funny. Scarlett Pomers is back in the briefest of appearances making slightly odd jokes about getting something to eat. For those who don't know she was sent to an eating disorder clinic for being too thin. Yeah.

Reba and Julia Louis Dreyfus are the funniest people on TV and it's sad they don't get more credit for it. Meanwhile Micheal Richards and others are constantly on TV for being idiots.

Out Damned Box! Out!

While my TV time is being cut in half it's not really for lack of trying. It is lack of watchable programs.

Time to rant.
The sitcoms are almost dead according to network executives since they are too expensive and reality shows are more popular. I hate all reality shows but I occasionally watch the first season. Now people who love these pieces of audio/visual crap also hate real documentaries. A real documentary are those things on PBS that have lots of old nerds talking over real videos and non-CGI special effects. I happen to love Nova, Frontline, This Old House, etc. and think it's a slap in the face to say they need to compare it to Survivor.

Next rant we have "Fall Season Finales" which is just a lazy way to stretch out a season for those who don't understand why shows have repeats.

Then there are "Bonus Content Online". For the Sci-Fi channel it requires 40 minutes and a secret password. For NBC it is posted a day later. Now I want to sit on my couch and relax while my brain goes numb. I don't want to rush to the computer to see 4 extra minutes of boring dialogue that didn't make on the tube.

What do all these things have in common? They are done to bring in people who are not regular TV watchers to catch an episode or two. Watching a season on DVD is not being a real fan because those episodes are not exactly the same as the first run episodes. You can easily tell the comments of fake fans because they complain constantly of whats wrong with the shows they watch instead of just laying back and escaping for an hour or so.

Sure there are certain characters I don't like, The Cheerleader, Dr. Grey, Charlie Sheen, or the bad-wigged-TA(who may be a woman) on Veronica Mars, but I accept them as annoying and focus on the other parts of the show.

It's like reading a book you don't start in the middle and then quit right before the end and call the book stupid, meanwhile your going online to read what others said about the book. You either read the whole book or you don't.

I'm done back to the Star Wars Marathon on Cinemax.

What's New

My head is about to break with all this useless engineering formulas. Trust me when building a bridge no one wants the work submitted in by hand. In real life you use computers and modern measuring equipment.

As for TV...

• Jericho is the best thing on now.
• The Cheerleader should die.
• Don't get arrested around J.J. Abrams.
• 4 of the 20 shows I watched had Halloween episodes.
• My cable box has the hiccups and keeps changing to channel 1 on it's own.
• I understand why Doogie spent more time with his "best" friend then Wanda.

Is This Sad?

I recorded the return of Laura to General Hospital because it was supposed to be a big deal, it wasn't. Either way while I was watching which former Vulcan pops up. That's right Tuvok.


Tim Russ was playing Dr. Trent Alexis' cancer doctor.

A quick jaunt to IMDB and he has been doing this for a while now as well as appearing in Twenty Good Years on NBC and of course in some Star Trek thing.



I just wonder is this him moving up or down in the acting world.

There are also rumor of of another soap crossing over into the Marvel universe. Seriously.

Hell I've Been Busy

This semester has been tough not just the classes but the endless reports and projects. So infrequent updates for you!

Back to TV I've seen three new shows:
Jericho a great show about a small town apparently surviving a full nuclear world war.
Men In Trees a good show but in a bad time slot so I couldn't keep watching it so it off my TiVo list.
Heroes horrible first episode but I know it has been "retooled" so I'll keep watching.

Old shows return:
ER had the best premiere.
Grey's Anatomy is great.
Everything else is on tape or TiVo and I'll watch it during the weekend.

I'm looking forward to Dexter a Showtime drama about a serial killer.

Lately I've been annoyed with the state of TV. Mostly dealing with the damned logos on the bottom and news crawl during shows but that is a huge rant for another day. I understand the what really is going on.

To all the regulars I lost everyones blog addresses so that is why I haven't visited anyone so if you want to drop a line go ahead if not sorry.

Niether Gone or Forgotten

On this the 5th year after the attack on America by Muslim terrorist there is more videos of these modern day monsters planning the attacks.

Television captured the horror of the day and I hope the justice against these enemies of freedom will also be televised.Children did die that day but many more lost there center, fathers, mothers and loved ones.

It's anger that fills me today sadness comes later when looking outside the window with a skyline forever changed.

Addiction Recovery

Hello my name is Man and I am a TV addict.

For years I would watch up to 5 shows at the same time now I have a busy life and have only been watching what I actually care about.

Why the change? Easy because of great shows like Surface that only lasted a half season. Also good shows like The 4400 that turned to crap but more important most of this semester classes invovle computer assignments which leaves me little time to watch TV.

So my new policy is just watch returning shows and only a few new ones the others are probably going to cancelled and available for free on YouTube in case I every really want to watch them.

I look forward to watch Jericho on CBS, Men In Trees on ABC and any show I watched last season.

Now for some brief reviews:
House: Meaning
6 weeks after emerging from a medicaly induced coma House is fine and healthy he treats 2 patients, one of which was Claire Kramer better known as Glory/Glorificus from Buffy. Soon though House notices he has some pain and gets himself some pills. I was kind of disappointed that they didn't show his path to recovery or the results of the patients from the season finale.

Stargate SG-1: Memento Mori
Vala gets her memory wiped by a Goa'uld and becomes a waitress. The story center around Vala's trust issues and was nicely done. At the end she officially becomes part of the team.

Stargate Atlantis: McKay & Mrs. Miller
Very cool episode dealing with McKay's personal issues and featuring his sister. Which was played by his Hewitt's(Mckay) REAL LIFE SISTER. That was cool watch it again if you did not know this before and you'll see the brother-sister chemistry between them. We also meet a cooler version of Dr. Mckay from a parallel universe. Also a very touching episode about family and friends. Who knew nerds were so sentimental. I guess thats why it took the almost destruction of 2 universes to bring out the emotions.

Steve Irwin Died In Australia

According to news sources the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin was killed by a sting-ray when swimming off the coast of Australia. His wife has yet to be officially notified. The sting-ray bard is dedly and struck him in the chest.

That is beyond awful, he was so young and had such great energy and love for life. He leaves behind a great wife, two kids and millions of fans as well as a better piece of Earth then when he started.

Windfall: Series Finale

Sad ending everyone is broken up with there true loves and Frankie got kidnapped by either the evil Russians or her psycho dad.

Why now?

As some may see Blogger finally is allowing HTML but now I'm back in college and have little time to figure out there new HTML.

I still haven't got my Google back, I don't know how to Javascript in this new fromat.

School update I've spent $233.00 on two books and I need 3 more.

Rescue Me actual season finale was Tuesday and it was great. Everyone finally told the truth and decided to stay a unit then Tommy got ambushed by the crazy widow and him and her are trapped in a burning building.

Most disturbing scene was with a brother and sister doing the probie.
