#1 Jeepers, Fred. You done teed off on that one! All I can say is the NBC execs are going to need industrial quantities of cocaine and Bag Balm(tm) to get through that season.

#4 With a lineup like this the only question I have is why HGTV isn't America's #1 network ...

'son of my mother the car'
Hah! still nobody brave/desperate enough for A-team, a beauchamp group of benniton lookers running around speaking truth to power...get cloony for hannibal, decaprio for face, rosie for murdock, kanye for BA - drive around in a prius hybred helping out kids who try to cut power lines with a circular saw.

#10 Oh, damn, what a vast unending expanse of desert wasteland... relieved only by "My Name is Earl" (which is pretty funny!) and maybe "Heroes" if it doesn't tank after a good first season.

Oh, well - as long as there is "Flip That House" and "Food Network Challenge"....

#16 ...hey, I'M happy - 'Hell's Kitchen' fired up again this week on Fox! There is nothing on television that's quite as much fun as good food and Gordon Ramsey verbally demolishing a bunch of cocky chef wannabes. Not to mention we get new eps of 'House' and 'Bones' next week (Tho have to admit House is getting a bit repetitive).

#17 I miss "Steamboat" and "Tugboat Annie". I watch "Cash Cab" (Jepordy in a Cab) and "Dirty Jobs". And sports. For any other entertainment I go outside to watch the animals or watch whatever mis-adventure my Bugwit neighbor happens to get into.

#18 As if anyone with half a brain gave a flying about what MSM TV put out anymore.

The notice this week that Newsweak was having deep staff cuts was the most cheering thing I've heard for some time. Maybe, just maybe, when the lefty bastards who run the MSM get their financial throats squeezed to the choking point, the near-death experience will bring them to the realization that AMERICA DOESN'T LIKE THEIR LEFT-WING, AMERICA-HATING GARBAGE!

Maybe. Hasn't worked on Hollyweird yet, though.

#19 Have to wonder about 9-10pm BlOCKBUSTER when most movies are roughly 3 hours long when you add in commericial breaks.
