Flashpoint is a very under rated show.

I mean it when I say that if new episodes are as good as the pilot, this will be my new favorite.
I missed the pilot. But I do want to see the show. The previews looked good. I'll have to DVR it this week adn watch it.
Canceled after 3 shows...it was awful.

Have been watching The Borgias on Showtime. Don't know why I find it interesting, but I do.

To be honest, the first episode was best because they tortured the new guy, but the following episodes were more serious since he became a full member of the squad and it wasn't so funny anymore. Horrible ratings. Oh, well.

Just finished up the last 2 The Event episodes. Man. I really hope it gets cancelled. It gets on my nerves too much, but since I watched every episode, I don't want to stop now.
Spoiler:
1. The President's wife confesses to him... and... drumroll... she's not from Cuba... she's from... drumroll... The Dominican Republic. Duh. I still think she's an alien, but if that was the entire secret of hers, then it was silly and stupid and ridiculous, all rolled into one.

2. The scientist gets scared by the ship's horn, jumps, and accidentally "cuts himself" on the hand, becomes infected, and dies. They need to fire everybody. The writers, the director, and most of the actors.

I think we are 6 eps behind now. Maybe 7.

I had The Voice on one TV and the Flyers/Buffalo game on another. It wasn't bad. I'll probably watch next week. I would hope these judges will be better than the ones on A.I. who are more interested in giving compliments to people: "You hit a few bad notes, but it's OK because I enjoyed the overall performance! I'm honored to be in your presence!". Steven Tyler is worse than even Paula Abdul in that regard.

I think the show itself is great. But everyone kinda knows (or can easily find out) what happens in real life, and I don't see them deviating too much from what really happened, so it loses some of the intrigue.

Still, I'll definitely be watching.

Top Shot Finale
Spoiler:
Glad George didn't win, but I'm pretty sure he threw the second challenge to get Chris in since the money would mean more to him. A glimpse of non-dbaggery from him when it's least expected... still hate his guts. :pop:

Anyway, the final challenge was awesome and I was happy that Chris won.

Could have been much better. Right idea, poor execution.

If you have HBO on demand, check out the "Talking Funny" special while it's still available.

What is it with all those shows on HBO or Max lately with so much nudity and love scenes? I'm talking about all those Greek/Roman shows. They annoy me. If I want some of that, I'll put a real movie in. I see it as a way to draw fans in, you know, the ones who can't get any.

Then you have that Vampire show. And Shameless.

Everyone's running around goddamn nude on the TV.

Sexuality and nudity was a big thing back in the day and in those cultures.

Plus, I get some, and still don't mind.
