Musings on ... Fall TV and Other Miscellanea
Mmmmm... Fall TV and my faves are back (minus ENTERPRISE) and I've found some new ones to like as well! That's a good season, especially if the ones I'm liking survive the brutal cockfight that...
Hi, waves the silly, sunburned poster. Why sunburned? I forgot my sunblock and enjoyed myself at The Temple (tm The HardLine), The Ballpark At Arlington or AmeriQuest Field. My Texas Rangers pulled...
Well, after an hour of ping-ponging across various football venues, the first officially televised NFL game has gotten underway. We sat through two numbers from the Stones, a couple of songs...
It is roughly a week since Katrina blew through a good portion of the gulf states ( ::waves at Floridians who got to be the Welcome Wagon:: ). Here are some thoughts about various topics, no...
Hi all! This time out I want to sing the praises of a very nifty series of philosophy books. I mentioned this series in an Off-Topic Fourum, and the series covers a wide range of movies and...
I was catching up on a few comics the other day. I must say, the comics industry is one of the more vibrant, diverse, interesting place to park your eyes these days, next to tv of course! :D ...
I've never been too great as anything other than an abstract-esque artist. Yet, until I find a picture that I can scan for my image, I thought I'd play around with the medium! I am a bit less...
Not a bunch going on, so it's bite-sized morsels this time out. A)Are the science fiction/science fantasy shows going to overload the US primetime audience this fall or is it going to be the...

Yeah, I said it! I just spent two hours, hoping against hope, that the big ol' ball of misogyny that ABC Daytime has become would die down enough for the two hours I picked to watch. Dumb! A...
Hey, again! A)The Texas Rangers were creamed 16-5 last night, Kenny Rogers' return to the pitcher's mound. He was booed to and from the mound. Thank you, Red Sox fans! And they just booed a...
Too bad baseball has become about the "at all costs" mentality. Kenny Rogers, of my hometown Rangers, has letdown many people. Not just children who probably don't know any better in the age of...
Like many here on this board, I will mourn the death of Peter Jennings. He was a premiere journalist with an amazing legacy. Yet, being a shy child with a,let's say, out-sized love of televised...
As much as I grumbled last night about "my" Britcoms not being on my local PBS station last night, I have to tip my hat to the tireless, thankless folks who bring those shows I adore to my town! ...
A) I hate when the late night repeats are from three months back after weeks of reruns from the last month. I even sat through two repeats three times each. (I liked the shows, but after 12 or so...
There was a mind-blowing doc on the children's mental health system in Texas, called "Are The Kids Alright?" It broke my heart many times,angered me, scared me, and left me wondering what I can...
"Deep Sea Invasion", an interesting documentary about the danger we are facing globably from an algae, had all the classics of a thriller: a lone scientific voice sounding an alarm that no one...
I was just watching WHALE RIDER, on my local PBS channel. I am still picking up the pieces of my mind, it was that good! Three cheers for WHALE RIDER!! Three cheers for PBS!!! PS- The US won...
I just took a sorta quick run around the FAQ and surrounding threads. Wow. I want to thank Snide and company, as well as CNET, for keeping a place for television lovers to congregate open!...
Hi! Glad to find a nice spot to remember and yak about tv with others who are excited about tv as well! I'm trying to get stuff settled some in my favorites, as well as rating and reviewing...
