Tracy Morgan Is A Jedi!

So, I've got a few extra minutes in the day suddenly as I find myself working a 6AM-3PM shift for the next two weeks. Whatever shall I do with all that extra time at home.

...

Which brings us here.

Lots of stuff I could write about... lots of topics "in the news."

The Dodgers' season is tragically over... and I've got no real excuses for them other than, "Damn, the Mets are pretty good."

The Lakers' season is about to start... and half the team is injured already including the coach. Not a good sign.

Cinemax is showing all six Star Wars movies in order... AND IN HD! That's definite cause for celebration and likely a sick day if I had my druthers.

Kurt Angle in TNA? Weird.

Rich Franklin destroyed? Neat!

Ahhh... the new TV season. That seems Post-Worthy.

My viewing schedule is pretty cramped this season thus far... even without a few early drops [Smith, Jericho, Justice].

Monday is crazy... take a look...

How I Met Your Mother is off to a great start for their second season. You have to wonder in the back of your mind how long they can really go before introducing the mother but as long as NPH is there in his brilliant greatness, I'm along for the ride to find out.
The Class - What's this? A second CBS show on my viewing slate?! This one is... interesting. I haven't decided how much I like it yet but it's been good for a few laughs in the first few weeks.
Heroes - Sodding brilliant! I'm enjoying the hell out of this one so far. Curious to see where it leads.
Studio 60 - My absolute favorite new show of the season. It's a damn shame that the ratings suck because this truly is Sorkin's return to brilliance. It seems to be one of those "too smart for the mass populace" shows that die a painful and regretful death [see: Arrested Development] because the people who watched Everybody Loves Raymond for ten years can't keep up with it. Tis a shame. I think it's not long for this time slot at minimum... maybe not long for this world which will make me angry.
Weeds - Love it. Love, love, love it. I adore Mary Louise Parker to no end. Showtime could put on 30 minutes of her doing her nails and I'd be riveted. And in HD? Ohhhh, lawd have mercy.

And somewhere in there, I still manage to find time for Raw. When 24 comes back? We may have a problem. I'm running out of TVs. Oh, and I forgot What About Brian which made its return last week. A fun show but I'm going to have trouble squeezing it into the viewing pattern every week.


Tuesday
-------
Damn all of you! All of you fuckers not watching Veronica Mars religiously and making me afraid someone's going to rip it off my TV! WATCH! PLEEEEEEEASE! You so won't regret it. I promise. I swear. Would I lie?

Other than that, Tuesday is my "catchup" night to watch everything that I couldn't on Monday.

Oh, and ECW gets squeezed in there somewhere too usually to be watched in fast forward on the weekend.


Wednesday
---------
I watched 30 Rock last week. I was surprised at how funny it was. It bombed in the ratings though so I probably shouldn't get attached but any show that had an underwear-clad Tracy Morgan running through traffic with a lightsaber screaming "I AM A JEDI!" gets my support for the moment.

I DVRd 20 Good Years... haven't watched it yet. Don't know if I will.

LOST!! I'm still a Lost junkie. The first five minutes of this season absolutely floored me. I adore this show and a curse on all of those haters talking it down. If you're not watching Lost, you should be... you still should be.

The Nine has been DVRd twice... and hasn't been watched yet. Not sure it will either.

Thursday
--------
After giving up on Earl three eps in last season, I've decided to try it again. I haven't been disappointed so far. It's a funny bone tickler that warms me up for...

THE OFFICE! Whereas The Office won the "Funniest Show on TV" title last season sorta by default when AD went belly-up, it really earned it towards the last half of the season. This season has been great so far as well and is easily one of my most eagerly anticipated shows of the week.

Ugly Betty. Eh. It's okay.

Gray's Anatomy. Not really feeling this season of this. It's too much of a downer.

Six Degrees. This one's okay. It doesn't make me want to turn the TV off so that's a good thing, right?

The Ultimate Fighter. Oh, this season blows but Matt Serra makes me tune in every week for his comedy-filled cornerwork.

TNA Impact. Taped for a very, very, very fast forward later in the week.

Friday
-----
I tape Smackdown out of habit. I usually visually skim it very quickly on the weekend... but sometimes just end up deleting it. Lately, it seems like I've been watching wrestling out of force of habit moreso than any kind of enjoyment of it.

Saturday
-------
Nothing! It's catchup day.

Sunday
------
Desperate Housewives is it. It's been better than last year. Pretty entertaining.


And that's that!
