OK, I just thought I would share this random thought with all of my TV friends. There's quite a bit of talk about NBC's decision to put Jay Leno on each week night at 10 p.m.
Some say it's killing NBC because the ratings are in the crapper. Others say it's killing any of the actual good programming NBC had left, such as Southland.
The argument being that programs that normally have the 10:00 slot because of their more graphic, hard-hitting content, must either soften up to fit in the earlier, family-friendly time slots or get cancelled as was the case with Southland.
Well, all that aside, let me tell you why I'm happy that NBC has taken this huge, somewhat asinine, risk. With Jay Leno on every night at 10, I can cut one whole network from my list when trying to decide what to record on my DVR. There's nothing I hate worse than having 3 shows in the same time slot that I really like. I record two and then, God forbid, I have to actually watch one in real time. Eventually, I end up having to choose between the 3 shows because I don't have the patience to sit for an hour, commercials and all. So with Jay on, the pressure's off! NBC is out and FOX has news. That leaves just CBS and ABC. **poof** Decision made! If not for Jay, I may have never recorded The Forgotten.
It's a much better show than I thought it would be. There are probably a few more I could name, if I sat to think about it. Even better, if I don't like something on ABC or CBS, I can actually expand my horizons to TNT, USA, Lifetime... the list goes on and on!
So thank you NBC for making my life just a tad bit easier at 10:00 each night!
I could not let this day pass by without stopping to remember the men and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
I live in the shadow of NYC and so many people around me where impacted by this horrific crime, including a close friend who lost her brother in the tower collapse.
I think of those men and women, who are now home with their Father, and I think of their precious loved ones left behind to pick up the pieces.
I also think of the brave men and women of our armed forces, who took up the fight eight long years ago so that my family and I could be safe.
Eight long years later I still feel sad and my heart still breaks for the senseless loss of life. I will never understand how anyone could commit such horror and say they did it in God's name. My God is an awesome, loving God. I pray each day that he brings justice to the monsters and solace to all those who suffer.
We will never forget...
To all my friends and those who like to submit to the guides I edit.....
I am off for the weekend!!! I will be gone from 7/31-8/2! I doubt I will be able to get on-line, so be patient my fellow TV addicts and I will return!!!
