more cleaver and funny as

New SOUTH PARK (com)

CHUCK (nbc) continues to be a great

I only saw 2 of the CBS comedies tonight due to bad vhs-ness,
watched on web HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER the tv new girl
buddy gets close to a new man, yet she hates one thing he has,
a child, not his but all of them. BIG BANG THEORY has one

Friday (October 12)

Women's Murder Club (abc)

beutiful gals with guns and not
trannies.




•Thursday (October 11)







Tonight all NBC regulars Earl which has to do with a
past roomie who is now in jail with our hero & learning
all about their beginners being of all the regular characters brings
30 Rock
ups the subject of obesity,
and the hour Office, which delved into the company
changes adding a website and the office must compete.

CBS had Survivor which is always the same except it's in China

THE ABC is UGLY BETTY WINNER on old boyfriends keep
returing, the father is looking a gun in the eye down in Mexico
were he waits assistants go DNA wild and does the wheelchair fit.

...and I forgot all about 5th Graders and Lyrics on FOX


• Wednesday (October 10)


ALERT !
BONO HAS THE BIG ONE


South Park (com) has
one of the boy's fathers
to dare to compete with
the world's savior rock
hero & universal traveler.


...continuing with the bum jokes Sarah Silverman (com)
tastes the good life, of her doggie.

...The Kids Nation (cbs) are still OKAY out in the desert town
and growing, certainly nothing like the pre-panning.

...while Back to You (fox) SHOULD BE and
'Til Death
(fox)IS HILARIOUS
and The Chef continues to fix and make well another
restaurant caught up in its Kitchen Nightmares (fox)

The two dramas of this night that shined so brightly were
Pushing Daisies (abc) & Bionic Woman (nbc)
Jamie Sommers continues to try to figure out her bionic
powers while another cyborg taunts her for... well, good
or evil we shall see as this saga grows, on us.

Finding out who killed a scientist
working for a 'future design' car
maker winds the trio up in a
crash dummy nightmare in Daisies


• Tuesday (October 9)



Tonight I watched Carpoolers (abc),
REAPER (cw) which I still can not
figure out what the 'Devil' is going on,
and MY FAV Cavemen (abc). The
one who works at the department store
gets a job for his cynical roomate
and then panics when his friend
abuses the job in all ways. Another
roomy trys to get to know a girl in his
apartment, who is afraid of him.








• Monday (October 8)


Everbody Hates Chris (cw)
continues with the bully,
or is it many bullies, at junior high,
and Dad works on his vacation.





Alien in America (cw) is again a very
good and funny show, this week instead of
bullies bothering the star as in Chris,
the new friends find out that saying
they are friends in public does lead to
the usual school tauntings one would
expect from all their classmates.


Drama newbie K-Ville (fox) shows how strong
it is mingling real flood history, like the officers
that fled with the torture of the flood, and
one officer-excon with more of his story.



• Weekend (October 6&7)







Except for a repeat of Chuck(abc), Saturday was just college football.

Sunday had all the great Fox cartoons & Abc had
Desperate Housewives
, which continued with
the usual, and the new neighbors, or are they new,
or why did they leave so fast those years ago?
New marriages and offshore monies add this week,
and remember KATRINA !

• Friday (October 5)







First, a preview of Sunday's
Metalocalypse
(swim)
Ultimate Metal group finds newest recording system, water.
They record in their power reactor and cities and forests burn
as they play, there are the forces against them, and the
cliffhanger ends with them farting in a hotub full of their recordings.


Maybe tonight's PUSHING DAISIES (abc)
may just be the MOST ENTHRALLING series of this year.
Before telling the plot so far, we must go thru the rules,
so you won't think it's a scare film...


1. people die

2. touching renews life

3. touching again,
....reneges the last rule


4. if not touched after relife,
....someone nearby
....dies after a minute





S
o here goes, boy sees his dog get hit by a truck, touches him
and his pal gets up and runs off. Bewildered the boy thinks
about it at home when his Mom has an aneurism and dies,
yes, he touches her and she 'must have fallen down',
a minute goes by and his girl nextdoor's Father dies,
because he's nearest, he then has his first
and only kiss
ever
with the girl at the duel funeral, as an adult noting
these facts, he still has his dog whom he never 'touches'
physically, and when his childhood 'girlfriend' dies
on a ship, he revives her 'just to get the killer's information'
for the REWARD MONEY and thus the premise evolves...
(do not like the constant ENGLISH BUTLER VOICE narration)



• Thursday (October 4)

Tonight we had SURVIVOR (cbs) UGLY BETTY (abc)
along with MY NAME IS EARL (nbc) & 30 ROCK (nbc)
all in the same time spot and an hour The OFFICE (nbc)

Survivor
, great locations,
fun games, cute women, and
nothing else that's new.
Earl's in Jail helping
interracial gang love affairs




BETTY's
troubles envolve her Dad
in Mexico waiting to leagally coming
back here and her secret to her boss.
30 Rock, Liz Lemon buys a wedding
dress after waning back to her old bo.





THE OFFICE
hour has an open affair, more dead cat,
old people, gift baskets and gps guiding into the lake.





• Wednesday (October 3)

Kid Nation (cbs), BIONIC WOMAN (nbc)
and Fox comedies and Kitchen Nightmares (fox)











Also a new SOUTH PARK (com) & Sarah Silverman (com)
The 'fourth graders' have a 'bout with Tourrett's Syndromn,
Cartman has it he says, or doesn't he say ? Sarah becomes
an activist but as always she is liberating in all aspects,
and terrifically funny.











Part Three (3) of Kid Nation (cbs) the highly criticized
reality show about children 'on their own' in a desert town.
I found this intriguing and as opposed to us adults
the kids do all right.
2nite the show starts with a well deserved party time
with boiler-makers of soda water in root beer,
"a kid needs his root beer".










The Bionic Woman (nbc), for me, was a freak accident
that I watched the first one last week.
I was never into that kind of I thought girly show,
but am I mistaken, this is a well done sci-fi show
with lots of professionalism in the shooting
and post production values. Like I said, I never
got into this back in the last century (1976) as I
did the OG Superman in the fifties, and I find
the newest Jamie Sommers incarnation as wise,
modern and human, that is,
superhuman, and she fights evil.











VHS is still great stuff so ended up having to tape
KITCHEN NIGHTMARES (fox) for later in the evening,
or shall I say early the next morning like 3:30 am...
This series by the English chef is just as intriguing
as his reality show last year, this time fixing real
restaurants that are really messed up, like
Super Nanny the chef makes all well and better.
Tonight was the third installment seeing as Fox started
some of their new shows then. The dirt, bugs, fighting,
poisonous food, and as the title says, the nightmares
of a food business come to a crashing halt as he
screams and yells at these people to realize the fortune
that he inspires them to produce.










The taping the 2 comedies at 8pm being
Back To You
and 'Til Death.
Back is BAD (& I love CAVEMEN).
'Til is very funny employing another
Raymond ex.


• Tuesday (OCTOBER 2)


CAVEMEN (abc), I saw the pilot already,
my opinion it is a comedy HIT !
Porterhouse came first tonight,
so
I have to wait to
see the show and give my reactions...
well, I'm going to watch it later,
(more 3¶ down)









Did see CARPOOLERS (abc)
which I found like DESPERATE,
it revolves around different lives
of not Westeria Lane but the carpoolers, funny.









Watching REAPER (cw) now which is comedic & interesting,
lot's of hocus pokus here,
the Devil wants this guy to do a job, which is catching the
crazies from Hell and getting them back there, at least I think
that's it, in this happy adventure. (he works in a depot type store)









" YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BITE ME, ARE YOU ? "
... and thus we have those left over CAVEMEN in the World
living with us. They date our girls. They are our TV weathermen.
They are cynical, hard working even in an IKEA type store.
(it is funny that all the new shows have characters working
in geek places like this) the 3 roommates struggle to match-up
or down to the 'sapes', that being us HOMOsapians.
Again, I have watched the pilot also, and I'll apologize now,
because I LIKE IT !
... as THEY say " keep your penis in your genus ".



• Monday (OCTOBER 1)










K-VILLE
(fox) proved a drama winner,
great story, great local Louisiana locations.
and K-Ville which is my new fave police action series.
Cops gangs music all Southern Style in New Orleans.










M
onday
I also saw Everybody Hates Chris (cw)
with
Chris Rock as a school counselor, coundn't
be better, the family action is the greatest.










The the premier of Aliens in America (cw) which

I vote as winner of the night.
Cute show centered in Fargo speaking
Wisconsin with a family taking in a
foreign student from they think London,
but really came through
there from Pakistan and he is an orphan
and a moslem. There is a
quick rejection and just as quick acceptance
to this very odd person,
especially to these way middle of Americans.










I
taped, yes VHS, all the CBS comedies,
all continuing
good as usual like
How I Met your Mother










And the new one with the geeks...
... again in Big Bang Theory which somehow grew
on me. A few nerds living across from a babe, say no more.










I watched Weeds (sho)and Californication (sho)
unexplainable now see for yourself because
they
are my cable hot loves these days.
Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll.










A
nd let us not forget another newbie

that being CHUCK (nbc) the computer
funny Get Smart but classier
geek now secret agent of sorts.










G
REAT TV if you record everything

that overlaps, and I messed up
and thus missed 2&1/2MEN (cbs)
and it is NOT on the web.
I'm happy happy joy joy.

All in Living Color and Stereo,
and HD if you got it I DUNT.
A great Monday.



• Sunday (SEPTEMBER 30)



















Sunday night I saw The new FOX cartoons
Simpsons, King of the Hill,
Family Guy & American Dad.
all great as ever and watched









Desperate Housewives (abc)
with the newest neighbors.
BY THE BY THIS SHOW
GOES KATRINA SOON; tease!




Louis

Be Aware: I saw CAVEMEN (pilot)
already and
I LOVE IT !
The FALL HIT !
you can base anything
I say about TV shows by that ...
