Lost, 24, The Office etc.

The footballs were located on aisle 8 and 15.

Boone found Heroin and Charlie is a junkie.

"There were no survivors of Oceanic flight eight-one-five." The voice on the other end of the radio transmission.


The Diversity training on the Office was hilarious by the way. I think the show will be around for the long haul.

24: This is the best since season 1. Non-Stop Jack Bauer Power Hour.


P.S. A few other people think the voice on the other end of the radio transmission says "WE ARE the Survivors...". I'll have to re-watch.

The Contender

Help!!!

So weeks ago I began Tivoing the Contender and got the first 2 episodes before they moved to Sunday night and conflicted with Arrested Development. Not knowing the errors of my ways I let a few weeks go by until I actually had the time to weed through my Tivo. OH MY GOD it is SO GOOD and I am HOOKED! I cried through both episodes and am dying to know what has been happening and please tell me it isn't Manfreddo who committed suicide. Does anyone have the other episodes? Or should I just wait until the DVD comes out? I don't know what to do! I HAVE to see the Ishe/Ahmed match up. Ahmed is such a MORON and Ishe is a pussy for letting his team down to begin with after all his trash talk. See how far behind I am???

The Office 2

I watched the Office and it's not even close to the original. However, the original creator and star of the British version Ricky Gervais has said a few times that the AMerican version gets better as it goes along.
We'll see.
Some funny stuff...but not enough.

The Office on NBC

The British version of The Office is one of my favorite TV shows of all-time. Most remakes don't come close to the original, but I have read three or four articles that suggests this at least comes somewhat close. If that is the case, it should be great.
Warning: it's character humor and the pace is very off-beat.

Set your TIVO season pass to record THE OFFICE now...

Pool Table

Hey remember my pool table? Some of you might remember the hours of fun we add playing on it.
Well, I can reclaim the rights to it if I want to. However, I won't have a spot for it until I move to a larger unit. Would you like to have it for three or four years? The only thing is I need to know ASAP or it will fall into the dark side.

The Wire

HBO RENEWS THE WIRE, ACCLAIMED DRAMA SERIES FROM DAVID SIMON, WITH FOURTH SEASON TO AIR IN 2006

LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2005 - The critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning HBO drama series THE WIRE has been renewed for a fourth season, it was announced today by Carolyn Strauss, president, HBO Entertainment. The 12-episode fourth season will begin shooting in late 2005, with debut set for 2006.

"THE WIRE just keeps getting better, so we're delighted that David Simon and his team will be returning for another provocative season," said Strauss. "We share the critics' enthusiasm for this unique and challenging series, and eagerly await the new episodes."

Created by David Simon, THE WIRE wrapped its third season last December. The first season looked at the national drug war through the microcosm of a West Baltimore housing project, and the second season focused on a longshoremen's union and its struggle to survive. In its third season, the drama developed its portrait of a fictional Baltimore by exploring the place of the political leadership in addressing a city's problems.

With the Barksdale investigation concluded, the fourth season of THE WIRE will expand its focus to include a look at the role of the educational system in an urban environment.

The third season of THE WIRE generated wide critical praise. It was named the best series of 2004 by Entertainment Weekly, which called the show "the smartest, deepest and most resonant drama on TV." The New York Times observed that the series is "one of the smartest, most ambitious shows on television." TV Guide hailed THE WIRE as "smart and subtle, yet also brutally powerful," while New York Newsday declared THE WIRE "the greatest dramatic series ever produced for television," and Daily Variety called it "brilliant" and "meticulously written, superbly acted."

Survivor Update

WOW! This is only my second season of watching Survivor but that wasthe best episode I've seen. The dynamics and strategies run deep.Angie was a broken soul, old man Williard is gone...Stephanie made asmart move by not voting for Bobby Jon the second round, Bobby Jondoesn't take kindly to that sort of thing or would he just say "that'sthe way the cookie crumbles...". I was very impressed with Trisha'smain man's (Ibreham), last speech, after all they're not playing forSTEW. Brandi, Cale the tribe has spoken.

Rave about FX channel

Anybody here watch The Shield?
That show is SO damn good. I'm excited it's back on. Glenn Close is going to be a huge addition to the cast. Don't worry if you missed the first three seasons, I think they are going for a larger audience, so you'll be ok if you start now. It's on Tuesdays at 10PM. They'll replay last night's episode a few times this week probably. Check it out, let me know what you think.

How good is the programming on FX?
They can get away with so much more than regular network TV. They have three great shows in: The Shield, nip/tuck, and Rescue Me. I just saw previews for another new FX Original Show that comes out this summer called Over There. It's about Iraq and it looks pretty damn good too.

The Contender

With the exception of Survivor (and that's only because betting is involved), I'm not a big reality TV fan. Now there is something for me. I just saw The Contender, and if you like boxing, you will like this show. I know, boxing sucks nowadays, but this show could help. The first episode had the last 30 minutes featuring a 5 round fight between a scrappy underdog who calls out, and chooses to fight a 21-0 ranked opponent. It was a better fight then you might imagine.

Also, for those morbid individuals (and I just found this out looking for the website), one of the boxers killed himself last month during the taping of the show. I have no idea why, but you do get a good idea of the type of pressure these athletes put on themselves when you see this show, as many times, success leads to bigger things in life, and failure leads to a life without boxing (and that's all these guys know how to do). Side note - it's also hilarious watching Sly interact with anyone. I think he thinks the Rocky fights weren't fixed.
