Monday Notebook & Viewing Catch-Up

November 16, 2009

Local folks should have noticed that WJW is carrying the Browns-Ravens game tonight (which makes me shudder just to think about). Fox's new episodes of "House" and "Lie to Me" have been moved to 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. (I am double-checking on the exact start time, since "House" usually runs an extra [...]

A Couple of Weekend Argument Starters

June 5, 2009

Folk Alley has a list of the 100 essential folk songs, based on listener suggestions. You can find it here. The announcement of the list is after the jump. Many great/good songs on the list, but I would have made some other choices, including different songs by some of the artists included, and raised other [...]

"Survivor" Season Finale

May 17, 2009

After watching Thursday's show, I said: 'Of those left, I would be happy if either Taj or J.T. won. Taj is the most likable of the candidates, and J.T. has played the game really well (aside from the Stephen blindside this week). Stephen's been a smart player, too, only I've found him too nervous and [...]

Friday Notebook: "30 Rock"

May 15, 2009

"A guy crying about a chicken and a baby? I thought this was a comedy show." — Alan Alda on "30 Rock"
Lots to write about, including the above, "The Office" (lovely), "Bones" (weird) and "Survivor" (hooray). But we'll start with "30 Rock."

"Survivor" Thursday: Now, That's a Dragon Slaying

April 24, 2009

I was hoping against hope that Sierra would win on immunity on Thursday's "Survivor" just so we wouldn't have to listen to more of her begging for mercy from her cold-hearted foes (especially the very mean Tyson) in the post-immunity-challenge segments. But what the show had in mind was even better. Jeff Probst was also [...]

"Survivor"

April 16, 2009

The best episodes of "Survivor" usually involve one of two moments in Tribal Council. One involves an amazing blindside which we have watched being set up, complete with clips of the blindsided one smugly declaring his/her brilliance just before the fire gets snuffed. I hoped for a long time that tonight was one of those. [...]

Thursday Catch-Ups: "30 Rock," "Survivor"

February 27, 2009

 
 
I'm not sure who made me more annoyed on Thursday, Larry King on "30 Rock" or Tyson and Coach (left) on "Survivor." But probably Coach. Look at the preening in that photo…

Hunka Hunka TV Viewing: "Survivor," "30 Rock," "The Office," "Grey's"/"Practice"

February 13, 2009

I was glad to have "Survivor" back (and look forward even more to the return of "The Amazing Race") even though it added to the big steaming pile of viewing that is my Thursday night. That said, the season premiere did not offer much in the way of surprises, and I already fear that there's [...]

Thursday TV, Part 2: "Grey's Anatomy," "Survivor"

October 17, 2008

I thought "Grey's" was a pleasant little episode, not great but — indicating still more improvement in the show this season — not irritating. I am having a hard time remembering the last time Meredith ticked me off, or that Izzie was irritably insane. The Izzie-Kerev battle went on longer than necessary, but the back-and-forth [...]
