Tracy something is the Baywatch bimbo. If memory serves - she is a doorknob.
Sigh, Dennis Rodman desperate enough for CBB? Sad - cause he is so ugly sexy.

Dennis Rodman makes for great celeb reality TV. He even managed to make Celebrity Mole seem somewhat trashy.

Sic Feet Under started to suck after Season 2, Season 4 was totally unbearble, and it was somewhat redeemed in the 5th season. But the crackhead story doesn't stop in Season 4, and it was a HUGE misstep in Season 5 to reintroduce the idea of it. But overall, Season 5 is much, much better.
The Sopranos starts in March and I'm fucking excited. This season is supposed to be really shocking. We've been buying the seasons slowly, so by the time it comes back on I hope I'm completely caught up. I might skip Season 3 where the only person they killed was retarded Jackie Jr. That season was lame. Any season with a lot of Meadow being annoying is too much for me to take.

My mother has returned to the habit she perfected a few years ago of waiting until the moment a good TV show is about to start to enter into a deep discussion with me about something important to her. I don't know how she does it - she'll babble about irrelevant stuff for a half hour, and then three minutes before a show is about to start, just as I'm about to say I have to go, she gets all deep and I"m stuck. Has she never met me to discover my world revolves around TV?
So anyway, she did that to me last night at 9:57PM. So I missed the first 20 minutes of ER. How did Ray end up working at the hospital again? I think I figured everything else out by watching without hearing the dialogue and watching the last half. But I wasn't sure about that detail.

Well, I think it was the last episode that the guys in his band decided to can him, right?
I dunno. I don'tthink there was any sort of along explanation for it. He was just there.
Good episode.
And yeah, I do agree that 6 Feet Under's 4th season was probably 50-50...speaking of the notable deaths, how about the helium-filled sex-dolls causing that holy roller woman to run out into traffic when she became convinced it was The Rapture?
Interestingly, a similar helium-filled mannequin thing was mentioned on ER last night too. At the VA hospital...by Galant. Crazy bastiche.

Thanks Doc. I got the full rundown from a different discussion forum. Ray showed up for work just like normal, Carrie said something about his having quit, and he told her he didn't know what she was talking about, that she must have hallucinated his quitting when she was on medication for her fall. She looked at him strange, and left it at that.

Regarding ER, I must add that I was ready to punch Neela's lights out. Not even a few months into marriage, and she's so painfully self-centered?

They said this season of 24 would hit the ground running but taking out TWO major players within the opening minutes?? My mouth dropped open at the first and my jaw hit the floor at the second.....
oh, and still NObody can point a gun with such a hardon like Kiefer Sutherland

Yeah, they opened with a gut punch and didn't let up. If the rest of the season can hold that momentum it just might be the best season yet.

Dammit, I had totally spaced that 24 was coming on immediately after that Bears game!
I didn't provide to record it on the DVR at home and I was way the fuck up north at a buddy's house for a 'football day' (a most excellent Bloody Mary day by the time it finished)-and I was supposed to head home right after the Bears ended...then I see that 24's coming on right now within minutes and w/out me preparing the recorder.
And then, I can't call home because Matas' bathtime can fall anywhere betw 6:30 and 8 PM and he gets his bottle and the usually drops off to sleep...and if I wake him with a phone call that way, I'm dead meat...so I sat with my phone in my lap waiting for my wife to call...so maybe I could get here to program recording what's left of the 2 hours...and I could bust outta there.
Bottom line, I watched both episodes there, and then my wife calls me at about 9:30 when I'm already more than ½ way home...
Guaranteed I'll have the DVR programmed tonight....
Yeah, last night's bang-bang-bang (so to speak) was pretty extreme...but again lots of times in the past, a 'necessary' character pulls a recovery out of a hat.
Prez Palmer's got to be a done deal being shot through a window and through the neck...Tony's wife demise, I'll still say I'm not thoroughly convinced of...and of course Tony's going to pull through...
I thought for sure that the Russians' helicopter was going to get blowed outta the sky...of course now the Chechens (I'm going to guess) are taking an entire airport concourse hostage....

Has anyone seen Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, on Showtime? I'm slowly becoming obsessed with that show...

24 is so good. While it's much too early to compare this season to past seasons, this one is starting out on the fast track....I'm really bummed President Palmer got taken out, as he was my favorite character....and Michelle, she's so hot, I'm really upset they killed her off.
I'm really surprised that the show has made it 5 seasons...I've been watching since the begining, and nobody seemed to watch the show during seasons 1 & 2, I'm glad it's still around, but I wonder how much longer the show can go on and maintain it's cred....

Bit suprised myself that the quality of "24" seems to be hanging in there...sometimes Jack just seems to have ALL the luck getting out of shit huh? But you're so wrapped into it that the farfetched-ism of the show just goes aside...
Tonight Fx and "THE SHIELD" which is just as amped up and well-acted as "24" -- plus I do believe that this IS its last season so if you haven't caught this killer show, jump on board NOW!

The question is whether they can keep up another believeable premise where Jack Bauer again simply becomes another out-in-the-field sort of a guy, albeit a ridiculously over-competent one...after dire dire DIRE situations pull him out of cushy executive branch employment (well-deserved considering he's THE super-agent saving everyones' ass) or out of 'witness'-protection programs designed to keep him out of a Chinese prison bloc...all things said, they probably need to start grooming a new Jack Bauer, seeing that this guy has literally been raised from the dead at least two times. Realism demands that this guy's heart is just going to fall apart sooner or later.
More likely sooner seing that he's honestly already overdue... with the physical pummelling his character has taken.
The writing generally is of a pretty high level AND with the world situation being the way it is, we're always going to have a good baseline of paranoia to feed off of, regarding terrorism (usually involving The East/Muslims) fueled by realtime events...it's close enough to 'real' that, as long as the scripts, the pacing and plotting are tight, there will probably always be an audience for this sort of thing.
2 more requirements:
- Kiefer Sutherland is NOT to direct any more segments
- that idiot (but gorgeous, yeah) daughter of his never gets involved in any of the storylines again
