More about last night

I didn't get to watch as much as I would have liked last night. I watched two episodes of Stargate SG-1 I recorded on DVR: 48 Hours and Solitudes. 48 Hours was the first introduction of Dr. McKay to the Stargate universe, he was even more annoying in this episode than he is on Stargate Atlantis.

I watched an episode of South Park and the first half of Dogma on Comedy Central.

Quick update

Haven't got a chance to watch too much so far today, here it is...I watched bit and pieces of a few old British comedies on PBS, I started watching the beginning of an old SG-1 episode, and I watched half of an episode on Grey's Anatomy the my wife recorded.

For all of you Futurama fans check out this clip for the return of Futurama.

Well I am off to spend the next few hours watching TV. More later...

A few things

A few things from last night. Another good episode of Survivor, the 4 team were merged into two teams. I think the Yul will win it all, unless his decision to tell Becky that he found the immunity idol on exile island comes around to bite him in the ass. After survivor I watched CSI, what is happening with Grissom and Sara they kind of just forgot about that after last season's finale.

I also watched the last half hour of The Mummy on FX and ended my night by falling asleep while watching Futurama again on Cartoon Network.

Not Much Last Night

Didn't get a chance to watch much on TV last night. I watched two shows off of the DVR. I watched the season 1&2 recap of Lost and an episode of Stargate SG-1, Enigma.

I haven't seen all of the 2nd season of lost so I was grateful to have a recap, now I can watch season 3 right away without waiting until I get a chance to see season 2 on DVD

Sara survives another week


I wasn't able to watch Dancing with the Stars tonight, but I just got the word that Sara Evans made it through to next week. Way to go Sara!

Wild Amish Parties


I watched a documentary on DVD about amish teenagers and how on their 16th birthdays they are allowed to basically go wild. They can drive, smoke, drink, screw (not necessarily in that order) and do anything that the "English" teenagers do. Only the Amish kick it up a notch or two. Devil's Playground is the title, it was originally made for PBS, so you can probably find a copy at your local library.

Their is also a book entitled Rumspringa: To be or not to be Amish by Tom Shachtman. It expands on the documentary.

Last night

As you can tell from my two previous posts I watched Dancing With the Stars (ABC). I also watched an Episode of Stargate SG-1 (Sci-Fi) that I recorded, episode Absolute Power, not the best episode I have ever seen, probably the worst.

I also watched a great episode of Futurama (Cartoon Network), Love's Labors Lost in Space. It was the first appearance of Zapp Brannigan. There were some great quotes from tonight's episode"

"The Jackass wants to see you in his quarters." --Kif Kroker talking about Zapp
"The Fatso says you are free to go." --Kif Kroker talking about Zapp
"Brannigan's law is like Brannigan's love, hard and fast." --Zapp talking to Leela

Vote Tonight!!


Don’t forget to vote for Sara Evans tonight on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

What I Watched on Monday



DVD of Ultraviolet (pg-13 theatrical version) I am a big Fan of Milla Jovovich (pictured left), but this movie was less than thrilling. I am not going to pass final judgement on it until I see the unrated extended cut. From what I have read on the internet the movie studio did a real hack job on the editing and cut out quite a bit.

One of my favorite movies of all time stars Milla, The Fifth Element. If you haven’t seen it, please rush to your local video store or library, you won’t be disappointed. Also get your hands on a copy of her album The Divine Comedy, quite mesmerizing.

I really enjoyed the performances by U2 and Green Day during the Monday Night Countdown on ESPN. After watching those festivities at the Superdome their was no way the Saints were going to lose.

Watched a couple more Stargate SG-1 episodes the I recorded, Company of Thieves, and Flesh & Blood

Rounded out the night by watching Futurama (Cartoon Network) and falling asleep watching Monday Night Football (ESPN)

Weekend Watching

Here are a list of thing I watched over the weekend:

Saturday
My Name is Earl (NBC) DVR of the Season Premier
Stargate Atlantis epsisode The Return part 1 DVR from Sci Fi Channel
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (Encore)

Sunday most of the day was spent watching NFL. I watched the Washington Redskins beat the Houston Texans (well I slept through most of this game). I also watched the Baltimore Ravens beat the Cleveland Browns.

I watched the Simpsons, American Dad, and Family guy on FOX.

I watched an episode of Futurama on the Cartoon Network, The Blitz on ESPNEWS.

Stargate SG-1 episode The Quest part 1. I think that the the episodes with Ben Browder and Claudia black are among the best SG-1 episode. When I first saw them I thought that the show was going to turn into a lame rehashing of Farscape. These episodes are fresh exciting and best of all no Richard Dean Anderson phoning it in. Plus Claudia Black is easy on the eyes.

Tim Burton and Teeth

Watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today at 12:00pm on HBO Family. I prefer the Johnny Depp version to the Gene Wilder version. As I was watching I was beginning to wonder what Burton's fascination with teeth is. Teeth are featured prominently in the film. Wonka has the biggest white teeth in a movie since Matt Dillion in "There's Something About Mary." Other instances in which teeth were featured: Mrs Bucket (Helena Bonham Carter) has large teeth; Young Willy in headgear; Wilbur Wonka is a dentist; and the very sexy Missy Pyle, as Mrs. Beauregarde, has a close up of her teeth covered in cherries.

What I watched last night.

Thurday night was a great night for TV. I watched Survivor (CBS) at 8pm, CSI (CBS) at 9pm, ER (NBC) at 10pm and then topped off the evening with Futurama (Cartoon Network) at 11pm.

The Asian team will be the team to beat on Survivor. Was is just me or did anyone else's creepy factor go up when Billy started talking about being in love with Candice.

What the F?

My wife says I watch too much TV. I on the other hand would say that with the ever increasing cable television bill I am only trying to get my monies worth. Who is right? In an effort to see if I am obsessed with TV, I am going to keep track of everything I watch on broadcast and cable television. I will also post TV related tidbits as the mood strikes me.
