I'm starting to think that with the new content in these blogs, they'll get longer than they previously will. Oh well, can't help it if I have a lot on my mind! Anyways, I thought I'd go over the TV shows I watched this week. How this works is that I'll run through the new episodes of shows I genuinely watch, and just give little blip of what was good to watch and what wasn't. If you'll notice, I'll start with this past Sunday, and work my way to today.
The Simpsons- Any Homer-related episode is fun to watch. Of course I loved the little salute to "24" in it. As usual, I'm never interested in Lisa's story. Still, a decent episode overall.
American Dad- So far this show has actually been better than "Family Guy" this season, but American Dad kept it simple this week. Some good jokes, and most of the cast was included at least. But not a lot of jokes were funny. Not their worst episode, but not their best.
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles- Great episode for Summer Glau's character. She continues to impress. John Connor has been disappointing this season, but hopefully they'll do something major soon to change him up. I can only hope because as an avid Terminator fan, I want to see this show keep going.
Prison Break- After the best episode of the series last week, they of course had to tone it down a little. At least they did good in setting up how the rest of the season will go. Upset that the character Mahone disappeared during the end, and I hope they still keep him around as he's one of my favorites. The show's still going strong though.
Heroes- Still continues to go downhill. They finally returned the character of Sylar to his roots, but it may be too late, and even that wasn't handled properly. Still tired of Hiro's current angle. Glad to see the Haitian back, and to see some more development of Claire's character. Overall though, the events of the last couple of episodes have been pointless, and hopefully they can turn things around with the showdown they're promising this Monday.
Dirty Jobs- I still can't believe they keep coming up with ideas, and can still be fun to watch. Can't help but enjoy Mike Rowe's wit and humor. Getting more entertaining now that they involve the crew more (last week's episode did that great).
My Name Is Earl- Another general episode with some decent help with a guest character. Not too many laughs though. I'm waiting for the show to have some continueing storylines, and maybe even some major changes to keep it fresh. I used to love this show, but now it's getting absurd.
The Office- Still funny as always. Glad to see they're making things interesting between Jim and Pam. Dwight and Andy continue to get the most laughs. While nothing major, this week was still entertaining. My current favorite comedy for sure.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars- Yes, I watch a kid's cartoon for crying out loud. It's Star Wars, I cant help it. Glad they bring in various Star Wars characters that are known and liked. It was good that Asajj finally got some time since she hasn't been seen much since the movie. The episode was a little more adult too, so for me this ended up being a good episode overall.
The Soup- I'm glad this show catches the funny things we don't catch during the week. This episode was funnier than some of the last ones, and had a funny Clip of the Week involving a male soap opera star's thong sneaking out. Plenty of good clips overall, and some real good jokes about them.
Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling- The finale for the season came, and Dennis Rodman is the winner. At first I was a little peeved because he had actually wrestled before, and is kind of friends with Hogan. But after watching the matches in this episode, he did deserve to win. Still, the episode itself suffered from some quick cuts in the matches to make them seem better when you know they probably sucked. It's a reality show! Still, I want to see the show come back since they do have something to work with. We'll have to wait and see.
That's it for this week. Next week you'll see most of this same lineup, though I may check out something different here and there. As for tomorrow, you'll see a recap of the Giants/Eagles football game, and maybe I'll throw in a little something extra. Until then, you'll have to entertain yourselves before I entertain you again...........Does that sound dirty?
