Hello to all my friends out there in TV.com land. AprilFox had some wonderful pictures on her last blog. My sister lives in Rochester, NY and it has been rainy and snowy already this fall season as well.
The last few days in the Sonoran Desert we have seen temperatures back up in the mid-90's Fahrenheit and they haven't got below 60 or so. Over the weekend highs will drop into the low 80's. Isn't it November?
SpongeBob Orangepants has his fur coat back for the winter and is looking more like himself. I think he may be thinking he grew it back too soon though!
Today is my 26th Wedding Anniversary and my wife and I are going to The Legends at Fransisco Grande Resort for dinner. Last year our daughter threw us a big 25th Anniversary party which was very nice, but it will be good to just spend a quiet evening together this year.
I'm not sure I mentioned this in the past but we live about three miles from Red River Ranch which was John Wayne's cattle ranch. He and Lewis Johnston owned it together for many years and then it was run by one of his sons. It is a huge dairy and feed ranch with thousand of cattle. Just the kind of place you would think John Wayne would own and live at.
The Legends sort of took their name from many of the stars like Wayne who lived and vacationed here. Fransisco Grande is also famous for being the Spring Training Resort location for the San Fransisco Giants for years in the past and now is the home of a new training facility for a new minor league American football league that trains here three months out of the year.
On the TV front, CBS' Accidentally on Purpose received a partial pickup for five episodes bringing the number to 18 for the season. It does look like Mercy will be the last new medical show standing with the back nine ordered for 22 episodes. Both Trauma and Three Rivers will probably show their remaining episodes and then be canceled.
Finally V debuted to a huge audience eclipsing NCIS for the time slot at least in the 18-49 viewer range. NCIS did have more overall viiewers though. It looks like V is going to be a big hit, but we will have to wait and see how it fares next week to see how big. It also did extremely well in Canada with a huge premiere there as well. Then there is the whole hiatis till Spring after showing the first four episodes this month. I don't think people will have trouble waiting though.
Personally, I enjoyed the show. I thought the special effects were very good, the acting and actors enjoyable for the most part, and the script looks pretty solid. If I was disappointed about anything it was all the borrowing from other TV shows, movies, etc. since the first series aired in the early 80's. Especially the Independence Day opening.
I hope everyone has a good week! Take care and thanks for reading...

It's 87deg here in central FL - waiting for the fall weather they keep promising. Usually have to head back to TX to get some cold weather for the holidays.
. It's crazy how hot it is over there! Amazingly crazy lol! Happy Anniversary! Thats a huge time and something to be proud of and to share it with her with a nice meal I really hope to get into V, it looks nice, original and interesting! Thanks for the headsup! Have a good week!
So is "V" ever going to be a real "series", or is it only a special event kind of deal? Four lousey episodes? The numbers will have to be sky high for ABC to bring it back with a big enough budget - after the damn Olympics! 
I could really do without the spoiled whiney kid bit - but it looks like he'll soon become something like Jack's daughter was for the first 2-3 seasons of "24". Ouch! Hope you enjoyed ... dinner!
CBS may have something scheduled to replace AoP after the 18th episode? Sorry to see Trauma go after the 13th. I was liking it more than Mercy. I really liked V's pilot, except for the fact they revealed so much so fast in an hour. Enjoy the coming weekend, Jeffrey!
I'm going to blog about the change soon. I don't really see myself following these new medical shows. I won't mind that AoP doesn't get renewed either. I'm still hoping more sitcoms come on with the same quality as TBBT or HIMYM. Right now, I'm enjoying Community and Modern Family among the new comedies.

Remember, I always admit that my thoughts are just my opinions and therefore may be just that. AOP may last for years. Thanks, Jeffery
26 years, is a wonderfully long time!
Luckily it was my wife's car who got hit by the other driver and in Arizona if you hit someone no matter the reason you get a ticket for failure to control your vehicle. Actually it's pretty ridiculous, but oh well!?! Jeffery
I want to visit NY soooo bad - it's first on my wish list! Congratulations, that's an awesome achievement! I haven't seen either tv shows sorry, are they any good? Talk to you later.
lol ya he might be! Happy anniversary jeffery! Thats amazing 26 years is a long time. I hope you and your wife had a great day, here is to 26 more years. I didnt watch V yet, I want to though. Im hoping to find time to watch it online today so I can be ready for the new eppy on tuesday! Anyways have a great week Jeffery!
Yay... I am back on your listing! The points system is frozen again. Third time since I've been on TV.com. The weather is still weird here in AZ. I'm not sure I love it yet, but V is going to be very popular I think. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for commenting. Jeffery
The last three days we've had temperatures that were in the 60's! So all our snow melted. I love Mercy but my hubby prefers Trauma he likes the Emergency! type shows he was mad when they cancelled Third Watch, he still hasn't gotten over that! LOL. I totally agree about V it did not disappoint and actually felt more like a motion picture, it was extremely well done.
