TV musings...and other stuff...

Hi, everybody!....hope things are going ok where you are...starting to get those nippy temps in the air but still its glorious weather....they had the annual Windsor Pumpkin River race down in my neck of the woods where entrants paddle or motor giant pumpkin boats down a river. Sounds silly but when you think about it, its something that sounds a heckuva lot more interesting than a typical weekend in many ways...:D

- TV wise, I've been watching a fair bit of Survivor and Amazing Race this year and as far as Survivor goes, I'm getting a little irked at people recruited to that show who turn out to be nothing more than minor actress/actor wannabes who mug for the camera in hopes they get to launch a career out of it. Yasmin, who was just eliminated in this season, wore high heel shoes to Tribal Council for crying out loud!...and she's not the first in recent seasons. If anything kills reality shows in general, its the influx of actor/actress by producers looking to prop things up ratings wise. I want to see a real guy/gal from the US in a show, not a "model/bartender/hairstylist" looking to land more acting gigs.

- What else today?..hmmm..I've read where V might be shown in two blocks for the upcomng season with a break inbetween...oh, yeah, that'll work....go ask the folks behind the late Jericho or even Lost how that experiment went....:(

- Site wise, it's a little quiet though the forums themselves have looked a little squirrely at times. I've seen Dec. 31, 1969 as latest thread posting for all forums...strange but for here, its normal. Guide wise, I'll be finishing the recaps for Urban Legends this week and moving onto some other old shows I'm doing afterwards. I did assume editorship over some old Depatie/Freleng toon guides recently (same people who did the Pink Panther toons) and will work away on them.

- Real world wise, I see where RCMP across the country have been advised by the Taser manufacturers to avoid hitting a target in the chest with device as the voltage may lead to complications. Considering the incidents over the last twelve months in Canada, this isn't a surprise. Tasers need a bit more stricter guidelines for use in general, in my opin....

- That's bout all.....next season of Hawaii 5-0 comes out next week on DVD...always good to watch....

Have a good week, everybody!
