What an incredible week in TV, boy let me tell ya! Season premieres, new episodes back on......every night had something to offer. While I have a couple of shows recorded that I still need to watch, I'll give you the rundown on what I had time for.
24- This episode was standard for the series, but still entertaining. There's a closer look at several of the newest characters, but the best moments come from well-knowns Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida. The highlight was the end of the episode where they took an old idea back from Season 1 and put a new twist on it. Brilliant.
Monday Night Raw- Great for developing storylines, but lacking in real intriguing matches. The spotlight was definitely on the Cena/JBL/Shawn Michaels story, and but real surprise came with the return of Vince McMahon and the involvement of Chris Jericho and Randy Orton in it. Hard to say where this will all go come Sunday's Royal Rumble event.
Dirty Jobs- This episode had difficulty keeping my attention. While the first job of working a a tar pit was decent, the second job involving recycling animals was interesting at first, but then lacked any real appeal. It's tough when you have some real interesting jobs, but have a hard time making it true.
Lost- The premiere delivered as promised. Two episodes were shown in a row, and both were worthwhile. A lot of "What the hell?" moments from start to finish, making it great. Hurley got his stand-out moments in the second episode, but the most entertaining aspects came from those left on the island. They're going through the more "interesting" events in their place and time.......or times, however you want to put it.
My Name Is Earl- A few laugh-out-loud moments, but not much else. They concluded the story set by last week's episode, but now it's uncertain where they'll go from here. Are Joy and Darnell going to disappear for a while? If that's true, will they be able to carry the show with the remaining characters? Tough call.
The Office- A simpler episode with some great comedy. Michael and Dwight get the best moments in their part of the story, while the rest of the cast get involved with something easy, yet funny. Always good to get a relaxed episode like these.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars- Good conclusion to the story started last week. The action was slightly toned down, but still cool to watch. The series continues to give the Star Wars universe some variety, this time with a new alien race and way of life. Definitely a hidden message about the strength of beliefs in war.
Smallville was the only show I didn;t quite get to, but as soon as I see it, I'll have a brief spot for it. Also my next post will be a look at the WWE Royal Rumble event. That's all you need to know. Just like I don't need to know where you'll go for entertainment after you're done reading this. I have it planned to watch The Dark Knight..........feel free to do the same, or find an appropriate substitue. Doesn't matter to me.
