Rescue Me From the Boredom of a Wedneday Night!

Well, whaddya know. I'm actually going to recommend a show that's not a reality program! Rescue Me airs at 10 tonight on F/X. I think one's enjoyment of it will have a lot to do with one's tolerance for Denis Leary. I actually like him just fine, due in part to his former stint on a weekly series, The Job, which was woefully neglected and ultimately cancelled.

Anyhoo, the hour-long drama takes place in a New York City firehouse. Leary is a thoroughly screwed-up firefighting veteran in the midst of a divorce. His only comforts are booze, and a best friend that he talks to a lot. Problem is, he died during 9/11. If you're one of those people that won't watch an hourly drama unless it's on HBO, don't worry. There's plenty of cursing, sex, and violence to keep you interested. Gotta love F/X!

Will he float?

For those interested, Bill Clinton is scheduled to be a guest tonight on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Ahhh. Remember when Clinton was President? Thems was good times...

Fish eggs, fish eggs, roly poly fish eggs..

Tonight is the TV night I live for. There is no show on right now I enjoy more than The Amazing Race. I've given up trying to convince every one I know to watch it (but if you miss it tonight it's repeated on Saturday night at 8!!) If the Emmy awards, rave reviews, and rabid fan base haven't convinced you yet, my pleading probably won't either. And frankly, I don't know if anything can top last week's visit to Russia and a challenge that involved eating TWO POUNDS of caviar. I think tonight they may be journeying to Egypt. And while the prospects of a challenge somehow involving a camel are exciting, I seem to get the most thrills out of watching the contestants try and book airline tickets.

What. THAT didn't convince you to watch?

I promised myself I wouldn't cry!

Thanks to all you wonderful people for visiting and bringing the funny by posting to my little blog. You rule like no one has ruled before.

James Bond Smash!

Couldn't they just kill two birds with one stone and turn the Hulk into a suave superspy?

Gotti See TV?

Growing Up Gotti starts tonight on A&E. (Warning: Link includes video.) Yeah, another freakin' reality show. Dame Gotti kinda looks like Donatella Versace, whose life could make a good reality show. But only if she's exactly like Maya Rudolph's SNL impersonation of her.

"That Was a Cool Episode of Colonial House!"

Had to quote my Mom--that's what she had to say coming out of The Village . Here's what I have to say: Hey, Night, you know that trick some people can do, where they pull out the tablecloth from underneath a fully set table, without knocking anything over? Yeah. That's cool. You know what else is cool? Sitting down to a nice dinner.

OK. Maybe I'm stretching the metaphor a little there. I just think he should try making a movie that isn't dependent on the fact that there's a twist in there. Move on, man. Move on.

Six Feet Under and Over and Over Again

So, I've caught up with this season of Six Feet Under and I just have to ask: Am I supposed to be entertained by this? Seeing characters make the same mistakes over and over again for four years? I mean, if they were making *different* mistakes, that could be fun. But seeing people make the same bad decisions repeatedly is tiring, both in real life and in my entertainment.

The begining of a new era!

look at me everybody! I have a blog!

One of these days it'll actually be a real grown up site, but because I'm a bit of a tard when it comes to the whole "Internet" thing, I've gotta start here...
