I love the Looney Tune cartoons (Bugs, Daffy and the whole crew) but for some reason I can't stand Tom and Jerry and I should at least like them. Both were directed (for the most part) by Chuck Jones, both deal with similar themes (cartoon violence) and both deal, for the most part with animals acting like humans. For some reason I would rather watch paint dry than watch T&J.

The same things go for some more recent TV shows. House for example. I loved Hugh Lowery in all the incarnations of Black Adder. I love the concept of a disabled, obnoxious, Doctor, but for some reason I find the show boring at best and annoying at worst. Same thing goes for Lost, when I heard all the pre show buzz I thought, "This is the show for me", but after half a season I wished the whole show would get lost.

Here my question to all of you: What shows did you think looked good on paper, but after viewing them you found they just weren't your cup of tea?

And by the way I won't slam anybody's opinion here and I hope every one else follows suite.

Well I started a new job this week. I am the asst. mgr. at a convience store/gas station. That's right I am basically a clerk. Kinda funny considering I just became the show editor for Clerks. I feel like Dante Hicks.

Don't worry though I will still be here on TV.com, just not as often.

Have you heard the news? There was an earthquake in Southern Illinois Friday morning (at 4:47 a.m.) People felt it from Atlanta to Milwakee and from Philly to Denver. Some historic small towns in the IL/IN areas sustain minimal damage and there have been 15 aftershocks and one other earthquake over this past weekend. The first earthquake measured 5.2 and the second was a 4.8.

Now your probably saying to yourself, "Gee, ssimonds1 really knows his earthquake s#$%." No, not really. It's just that ALL the local news programs, since the morning news on Friday till the noon news today, has had at least three stories per newscast on this one subject. Everything from "What is an earthquake?", to "Do you have (enough) earthquake insurance." thru "Possible scams related to earthquakes."

ENOUGH ALREADY. We get it. The earth moved. Nobody died and some old buildings may or may not have been damaged. St. Louis sits on a major fault line (duh). I almost expect the evening news tonight to start with all the reporter gathered around a dead horse with chains and baseball bats. Surely something else newsworthy happened this weekend.

Sorry but I had to rant
