Something about Nothing, come join in........

How about Entourage? We usually enjoy that very much, but this was another HBO show that just started off slow this season. Hmpphh.

So glad someone else thought it wasn't "all that".

I love Entourage and could not wait for this new season to start. It's one of the shows I will not wait for. DH would not watch at first but now he's hooked. So hooked in fact, that "I" got season's 1 & 2 for Christmas last year so HE could watch!

marciemi - CSI has been one of our favorites for a long time but this season I find myself TiVo'ing more often. The whole miniature thing does have me curious though.....

 

[loribell]

Well I can't comment on any of the TV shows. I seldom watch any at all. ays oAlthough the TV is always on in the background I pay no attention to it. Of course with an 8 yo it is usually on the Disney channel or Nick so there really isn't much for me to watch. Some of them I have never even heard of like Rome or Entourage.

patster - Be safe driving. You are probably going to run in to some pretty bad weather.

I love Entourage too....Johnny Drama just kills me

I am a total dork as well. Even on vacation we have to get back to our room to see LOST. Idol, not so much this year....it's OK, not as exciting or entertaining as pervious seasons. I would not go back to our room to catch it anymore.

It seems as though LOST is putting the puzzle together by giving us insight to the characters. Last night explained why they were kidnapping children and who Juliette is.....now the question is what has she become and can she be trusted????? It's very interesting how all these people are connected and thye don't realize it. Claire is Jacks half sister, Kate befriended Sawyer's gorlfriend/mother of his child, Hurley with the numbers, John and his father, Desmond and his time warp experience....even if we don;t get solid answers the show is very entertaining all by itself. I loved the episode with the "Diamonds".

OMG, Drama is one of the funniest characters on TV!

I am so not an Idol fan. In fact, there are a few of us at work that hate Idol altogether, and we're voting for Sanjaya. Go ahead. Yell at me. I don't care. You can't say or do anything meaner than my mom already has. I can't repeat in a public forum what she said to me when I told her we were voting for Sanjaya. I don't think I deserved the silent treatment after her tirade either, but that's just me....

JMC DAD: does my heart good to see another idol & soprano junkie
we have more openings for cabana boys. Dagny is taking the applications and doing the interviews.

Glendamx: glad you found your way here, be sure to come back and yak. did you watch the ellen show when she was in UO?

MOM of 3 disneyholics: a mini me of me......i lived that trial of anna nicole, and had E on constantly.

Melanie230: think i didn't get you in highlights yet so here it is now. she's really a 24 year old masquerading as a 36 year old..

Lovethparks: another CSI junkie like me and marciemi.....i'd include Lost but have never watched it..

patster734: in case your name was not in lights the first day of the thread, it is now. i bet you are going to canada just for the poutiine and to get milk out of a bag......eh

but, but, but, but, he's not any good........


i do have to agree, this season has been awful, i am getting bored with it this time around. i don't think the judges took the best of the lot when the auditions were going on.

 

[Motherfletcher]

I am so not an Idol fan.

I have never seen it. Is that worse than seeing it and not liking it?

 

[lovetheparks]

goofie4goofy Drama is DH's favorite! I have to say Ari is mine, love me some Jeremy Piven He's such a great actor.

What?? Claire is Jack's sister?????? Haven't watched that yet. I agree with you re: Idol this year. Yeah... not so much. I'm TiVo'ing and fast forwarding ALOT this season.

AlexandNessa - I can forgive a little Sanjaya lovin' this season because aside from Blake (the beat box kid) no one really grabs my attention and I don't want him to win - I think it's best that he not win. Hate on!

*Editing to add I don't vote, just watch. This season is like train wreck TV, don't nescessarily want to participate but dang'd if you can't stop watching!

 

[lovetheparks]

[AlexandNessa]

I have never seen it. Is that worse than seeing it and not liking it?

No, what's worse is having to manage it. Let's just say the telephone network was not designed for everyone in the country to pick up the phone at the same time and dial the same number.

I don't like Sanjaya. I just admire his hair. How could you not love the pony hawk? Tell me the pony hawk wasn't worth a vote? Go ahead, tell me. I know it's a singing competition, but that hair cut was the bravest thing on TV I've seen in a while!

I just don't get the hype. I mean it's a glorified Star Search. I wish more people would spend as much time voting in their local school board and school budget elections as they do voting for their favorite American Idol contestant. (Totally off soap box now. Go back to your happy Idol chatter! ).

 

[macraven]

I have never seen it. Is that worse than seeing it and not liking it? Oh, and btw, do you have anymore applications for the job of cabana boys?

#1. tough question. looking at my magic 8 ball, it says maybe.

#2. see dagny for the application.

 

[JMCDAD]

macraven Thanks for the shout out

The idols are definetly not as good as last years group, I mainly like watching idol cause it one of the few shows you can watch and enjoy with your kids

Any Sleeper Cell fans out there, my wife got me hooked on it

 

[goofie4goofy]

That is the joke of Idol.....it has morphed into a popularity contest not a true competition. JMHO, I don't think anyone this year is "worthy" of winning. If Sanjaya wins, I think that is more entertaining than anything else Besides everyone knows you don't have to "win" Idol to be a star....the runners up are more popular in "real life" than the winners are.

Two words: Jennifer Hudson

Simon did not like Taylor Hicks either. Ruben is no where to be found....what the hell??? American Idol is becoming like "The Bachelor" .......it's on TV but who cares!

Oh Yeah, Back to Lost...Claire is Jack's half sister but they do not know it. It turns out Jacks father the drunk Dr. had an affair with Claire's mother. Claire and her mother were in a car accident, Claire was driving and they were hit by a truck. Claire's mother went into a deep coma and found out that her medical bills will be paid for the rest of her life by Dr. Drunk. Claire sees her father in the airport and have a cup of coffee and he explains everything to her. Sitting next to them was the Korean couple and the rich girl and her step brother make some kind of scene (forgot their characters names). It's one big weave.....

Afternoon Homies!!!

You know what grinds my gears???? The FAA. Yep. The stinking FAA. Why? Well the geniuses at work there have pretty much decided that my neighborhood would make a wonderful place for jet plane to take off over. Come September, my quiet little neighborhood could be a route for planes taking off at PHL.

I could have planes flying 300ft in the air over my house!!! For what?? To reduce flight delays......What????? 74% of the flight delays out of PHL are due to weather!!! And another 15-16% are mechanical delays. I am soooooo angry. As it stands, westbound planes take off over the Delaware River and reach the 3000ft altitude before banking right and turning west - if this new flight plan takes place, those suckers will be taking tops off the flipping trees around here !!!!

All of the politicians are fighting against the FAA. I am not sure if I can link an article from out daily paper, but to give you the highlight, the FAA is accepting/recording public comments at a meeting here May 1st, but they are not responding to them. So what, I go to this meeting to have these reps from the FAA just sit there nodding and staring??!!??

UGH! There are alot of schools, homes, etc that are going to be impacted. The noise decible levels in my immediate neighborhood are projected to increase 90%. I live in a small boro and our town hall has a petition that I need to go sign to try to keep this a "No Fly Zone". Its really sad that the FAA can only see possible decreased delays instead of the people they are going to negatively impact. But they are h@## bent on doing this reconfiguration no matter what.

I don't want to sell this house - we moved here almost 2 years ago - and of course the City of Philadelphia is all for "moving ahead to keep up with the other major airports." Guess what, have those planes fly out over the stinking City then!!!!!!!

Sorry about the rant.....I am just really miffed

 

[phamton]

Am I the only one here addicted to LOST???

Lost and Survivor are my guilty pleasures.

 

[patster734]

patster - Be safe driving. You are probably going to run in to some pretty bad weather.

Thanks! I've been checking the weather and its not suppose to be bad. We're taking I-29 from KC, up through the Dakotas. They're saying its going to be warmer up there on Saturday than here. Go figure!

 

[tlinus]

Top TV shows for us (in no particular order)

If there are no sporting events on the tube (Phillies Games now)

House
The Office
My Name is Earl
Deadliest Catch
Sopranos (have to watch the ending - didn't watch last season at all)
Food Network (especially Good Eats and Throwdown!)

other than that its pretty hit or miss with us

 

[patster734]

We're pretty much tv junkies. Amazing Race on Sunday; Heroes on Monday; NCIS and Boston Legal on Tuesday; Crossing Jordan and Lost on Wednesday; Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Earl (dvr), The Office (dvr) and Scrubs (dvr) on Thursday; Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Numbers, Monk (dvr) and Psych (dvr) on Fridays! Good thing we don't have kids to corrupt with tv!

 

[macraven]

tlinus, sign the petition, heck, sign it twice.
send letters to the editor of the local paper.

get involved and others will follow.
you don't want to be in a town where the planes fly overhead consistantly.


go to all public hearings and become a thorn into their side.
