Random TV Notes

- AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL: When Caridee loses, I don’t want to be anywhere near her. She’s psycho-looking. Take a look at her eyes whenever she’s in the bottom two. I’m pretty sure they’re cloned from Ted Bundy. Just scary.
- The only crazier looking lady on TV this week is being defended by Alan Shore on BOSTON LEGAL. I haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode yet, so I don’t know the final outcome of the case, but Sunday’s episode was beautiful, right down to the fisticuffs in the men’s room. Legal insanity!
- THE CLASS is less a sit-com and more a cartoon, but it made me laugh out loud frequently again this week.
Norm Duke needs work on the PBA BOWLING telecasts yet. In the last game this week, he predicted that Chris Barnes would throw a perfect shot in the upcoming frame because he needed to, and he has the mental game to pull it off. Aside from a couple of big money tournaments the PBA has concocted in the last couple of years, Barnes has a reputation for choking like Lonnie Walicek on TV. And, sure enough, the first shot in that frame was way high and not a strike. Unphased by this, Duke congratulated Barnes on making the perfect shot — even after a replay showed it wasn’t — and said he caught a bad break. No, Norm, he just made a bad shot on TV. He’s well-known for that by now.- And, yes, I watched all of these shows on the TiVo. Live TV is for the birds.

I remember Jonah telling me I needed TiVO and I proudly extolled the virtues of a VCR. One year later and I can’t imagine life without TiVO.

Tuesday night’s BL was pretty good. Although I think that they overhyped the episode on Sunday night.
It also looks like there might not be a new ep for a while - there was no “Next on BL” playing during the ending credits. Luckily, I have the first disc of Season 2 to keep me happy for a while.
Surprisingly enough, I’m all caught up on all of my TV watching right now. It’s amazing what happens when you only add 1 new show for the year. The one show that I am behind on is Studio 60 - there are 7 episodes still sitting on my TiVo. Does this mean that I am going to TiNo-ing this series?
Hey Augie, was it you that was pimping HU$TLE in your blog a couple of months ago? If so, thanks for the recommendation. I watched the first three eps of Season (err, Series) 1 this week. Good, good, good show. I will admit that I didn’t quite get the song & dance routine in the second episode.
