GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008

For those of you who don't regularly read Peter King's column at SI.com, this is where I throw out ten personal opinions based on the pure bullcrap that goes on in my mind.

10: Just started watching the Simpsons regularly. In case you were wondering, it was the Dennis Leary episode that hooked me.

9: I'm about to tear surfthechannel.com a new one for not posting the most recent Family Guy episodes in good qualiuty. Except that that fault is with the uploaders and upload sites.

8: Laurence Fishburne is almost enough to make me start watching CSI again. Almost.

7: Despite popular opinion, I actually like Joe Montegna as Agent Rossi more than Mandy Patinkin as Agent Gideon in Criminal Minds. Not that Gideon was bad, but Rossi is a very interesting character.

6: Celebrate: the death of Knight Rider. The concept always had potential, and some of it was realized with the TV movie, but the show reverted back to the days of Hoff, not something anyone but NBC wanted.

5: Mounr for: the death of Pushing Daisies. While not for everyone, including myself, I could appreciate the variety it brought to television.

4: Seriously, 10 months? The other day I suddenly remember one of my favorite shows hadn't aired for a while, Reaper. So I go to TV.com and see that it will come back...in March. What could possibly take so long?

3: ^^^ Ditto for Battlestar Galactica, except it started earlier and is coming sooner (only 1 month left!).

2: This show never ceases to amaze me. Sure, it doesn't have the gritty realism of the first two and a half seasons, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Still unparalleled in character development, would make an excellent KOTOR-like RPG.

1: a: Olivia Wilde is now officially the hottest actor on TV.
b: I would give limbs to switch places with Omar Epps for the last scene in last Tuesday's episode of House.

I'm a regular read of King's articles so I know where you're at. Don't watch many TV shows except I did get into Sons of Anarchy and I've been a lifetime fan of The Simpsons, even if it can't match the humore from the early years.

CSI hasn't been worth watching since Season 1. I don't know how it is still on the air. Not surprising that today it and most network shows received few Oscar nominations. Reaper needs to come back. It has such fun characters, although following up the season finale will be tough.

I wish SGA could end on its own terms like BSG. Maybe this last season will be good. Not sure about the KOTOR similarity.

I did an google search for Olivia images, she has some strange photos out there. But yeah she's pretty.

The only three TV shows I know from the list are CSI, Battlestar Galactica, and House. Anyway, I can't wait to see how Galactica ends! I'm not sure that I like the whole planet of the apes thing, but we shall see if the ending resembles the show's overall quality which is great. And I missed last episode of House, so I don't know what happened... I have an idea though.

@mgmeek: I'm not going to deny she has had some...strange...looks, but when she's at her best (usually on House) she's the hottest actress out there.

@smokey: go to surfthechannel.com to see old episodes of TV shows.
