Ohio Connections

Maybe I watch too much TV to write about TV? Let's see......... Monday there's House, 24 and Heroes. Tuesday I watch NCIS and Fringe. Fringe is currently on hiatus, thank God I don't know what the hell's going on on that show. Wednesday, well Wednesday is "holy hour" LOST night. Thursdays Survivor is back on and The Office too. Nothing is ever on Friday's and Saturday's and Sunday I started watching The Amazing Race even though I said I wouldn't. I haven't seen American Idol yet and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do when Dancing With the Stars starts up again in March.
On the last episode of Survivor they voted Candace off, it was only afterward that I found out she was from Ohio, bummer. I'm surprised they voted her and her big boobs off. And we found out that Taj is married to Eddie George, an famous Ohio State football player. I don't know who Eddie George is but the husband does, huh. Oh and there is a couple from Ohio on The Amazing Race. Go Ohio! I will make a concentrated effort to start posting about these crazy shows and the Ohio connections.

Dancing With The Stars Finale

Hey Brooke Whatshername won Dancing With The Stars. She's who I would have voted for if I still voted. But I haven't voted since Mr. Do Wap Diddy Do kept lumbering around the dance floor a few seasons ago.
Again I'd like to thank Dancing With The Stars for entertaining the hell out of me and bringing re-cap shows to a whole new level. There is no way you can miss anything on this show because they know how to re-cap until you're cross-eyed.
I watched just about the whole two hour season finale, usually I just watch the last 4 minutes of the results show, but being the finale, I thought it warranted my full attention. I dropped a few EntreCards during Miley Cyrus, not even sure if I spelled that right and don't even care.
I managed to watch House last night also, record NCIS and Fringe, watched Fringe this afternoon and will watch NCIS with the husband this evening. And I wonder why I have no clean socks.

I'm Not Joining the Fringe Cult.............Yet.

I'm still watching Fringe, but haven't joined the cult. I know there are secrets and clues but I'm resisting getting involved. I only have time to be entertained, not start a full blown, obsessive investigation to the inner workings of a TV show. I am being entertained, that's why I continue to watch. I'm intrigued on how the relationship between the Mad Scientist, Walter and his son Peter will develop. Walter is stealing the show with his Mad Scientist/Repenting Dad/Kid in a Candy Store character. He can be talking about something as serious as reconstructing some one's DNA while shuffling his feet on the carpet so he can touch Peter on the ear to shock him. "Wool socks." he says. He's exhausting Peter and it's funny as hell.

My View of Fringe

I can think of no better to way to grab an audience than to show them a plane full of people as their faces melt off, awesome. I'm calling Fringe my new kookamonga show. Why? Because Fringe has government cover-ups, fringe science, unexplained phenomena, the creepy black guy from LOST, a half dead guy with transparent skin, a mad scientist and JJ Abrams is involved. All the makings of a cult show.
The mad scientist, Dr. Walter Bishop, played by John Noble, seems to be the only doctor that can save the transparent skin guy. The problem is, he has been in a mental institute for 17 years. It's amazingly easy to spring him out and start up his basement laboratory, but hey it's TV right?
The show moved at a faster pace than, oh I don't know, LOST? Another JJ Abrams creation. Like LOST, there were symbols and clues and I suppose Easter eggs to delve into, but I refuse to get that involved.
If you missed the first episode Tuesday, it will be on again Sunday night. I plan to watch the second episode, probably the third and so on, we'll see.

Fringe, I'm Watching It Tomorrow

After conducting little or no research I've decided the new show I'm going to watch this premier season is called Fringe. It's on Fox, tomorrow at 8:00pm. So really the research I did was to see if it conflicted with any of the multitude of other shows I already watch. And it looks freaky enough to hold my interest. Freaky enough to drive the husband crazy too. Oh and it will keep me occupied while America's Got Talent is on, because Lord knows I've lost enough brain cells watching that show.
Fringe is on a Tuesday on Fox, so I'm fully prepared to be totally into the show and then have it taken off for weeks and weeks to accommodate American Idol. That's what will happen, just so you know.
