DVR's

The DVR has got to be the best tv related invention ever. Even more so than the remote control. I could live without a remote, but could never watch all of this tv without my beloved digital video recorder.

We got our DVR through our cable provider, I'm so glad we did, because we've already burned out two of them. Guess what, they bring you another one for free, the rental fee is about the same as the monthly service on the Tivo, but no hardware to buy.

My only gripe about the DVR is not about the DVR itself, it's about the networks. They've evolved and now they start and end their programs at odd times. They know that DVR's are not capable of recording more than two programs at a time. This becomes a problem when you are recording two show at 8:00 and a third show starts at 8:59. It shuts them all down. So, someone come up with something to fix this, or maybe I'll watch less tv.

Life

I LOVE this show. I love the crazy eccentric multimillionaire trying to solve the crime that had him imprisoned for twelve years. I love his Zen-ness. Although I'm very decidedly Christian, I love the round about thinking he does.

I love the quirky accountant/fellow felon who is handling all of this mystery money, I love that the accountant is in love with the dad's trophy fiance' I just love it.

My favorite eccentric millionaire moments to date are the purchase of the orange grove, he likes fruit, not having access to it for twelve years would probably do that for you. I also love the "let's buy a solar farm." Loving the lack of furniture, and the closet full of clues.

Wondering who on the board set him up, wondering if the person who set him up is even on the board.

The Unit 11/13/07

Well, Hector is still dead, no tv salvation to bring him back from the dead. Betty Blue will pull through thanks to the fine field work that Hector did before he died.

Grey was sent stateside to heal, while Brown and Dirtdiver stayed behind to witness the autopsy of Hector and deprogram the journalist who was Stockholmed into thinking that we were the bad guys.

Mrs. Brown admitted to the Army Chaplain, that she prayed that if someone had to die, she hoped it would be someone other than her husband, and now was feeling guilty that she had prayed for the death of a friend.

Dirtdiver got the bullet that killed Hector, he brought it home to the Colonel who put it in a box with hundreds of other fragmented bullets.

Dirtdiver then went home, despite his banishment from, looking for his dress uniform. He and Tiffy, had some implied make up sex.

The whole thing ended at Hector's memorial service, they did roll call and everyone responded but Williams. It was sad.

Wondering who'll they replace Hector with. Should be interesting. Wondering if Grey will now get with Annie, no one can console a girlfriend like the best friend. Still thinking the Colonel had Hector killed. Probably be heading to reruns soon if that strike doesn't end.

The Big Bang Theory 11/5/07

It's Beauty and the Geek, with writers. Although you will never be able to write a funnier scene than ten guys who still think booty is a pirates loot. And the guy who finished it off with, "Rap makes a lot more sense to me now." You just can't make that stuff up.

Penny, the beauty across the hall, is hiding from her house guest in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. When the russian speaking geek finds out that said house guest will sleep with anyone he is over in Penny's apartment faster that you The Flash character they all wanted to be for Halloween.

This leaves the geeks with a problem. No fourth for their Halo night. Penny agrees to sit in, Sheldon says that Leonard will have to take her. Exactly what Leonard wants. Turns out that Penny is a Halo prodigy and kicks Sheldon's patooty.

At the end of the evening, Penny tries to go home and go to bed, only to find in occupied. Leonard offers her the couch, or his bed. She chooses couch and Sheldon then criticizes her choice for sleeping with her head on the door side of the couch.

Funnyness ensues, the three geeks cannot function without their fourth. Sheldon proposes the all march over to his house and make him choose between sex with a model or them.

So, this is replacing How I Met Your Mother as my first choice for Monday night comedy. I'm glad geeks know how to write. Hopefully the writers strike will be resolved soon and we can all get back to laughing.

The Biggest Loser

Good bye Amy. We won't miss you. At elimination she was crying, saying she felt like she'd been stabbed in the back.

"Hello, Kettle, this is Pot, you're black."

Looking forward to next weeks make overs, Kae looks smokin' hot. Look out world.

Anyway, I'm sure that Amy was probably edited to look like the (*()&@ that she was, and I'm happy that she's lost 100 pounds. Her final sentiment to us was that Karma is a bitch, yes it is and she just kicked your tiny little booty.
