Weekend Watching

I was able to watch quite a bit of TV over the weekend. Here it is:

On Friday night I watched a DVR recording of the evenings Battlestar Galactica.

Saturday I watched the first half hour of the movie Antz. An episode of the British comedy Are You Being Served? on PBS. After that I watched a DVR recording of the Stargate SG-1 episode Gamekeeper. This episode guest starred Dwight Schultz. He is a fine actor and did a very good job as the keeper but this is by far the stupidest episode of SG-1 that I have ever seen. So after watching that dismal episode of SG-1 you would think that I learned my lesson and watched some quality programing, no not I, I watched the Battlefield Earth, winner of 7 Golden Raspberry awards including Worst Picture and Worst Actor(John Travolta) in 2000, on HBO On-Demand. If it wouldn't have been for Travolta's overacting this might have been a halfway decent flick, but he took his character way over the top. Now in my defense I could only watch half of it on Saturday night because it was putting me to sleep, I had to finish watching it on Sunday. As I was going to bed on Saturday night put on the History Channel and fell asleep watching Standing Tall at Auschwitz about a family of dwarfs survived at Auschwitz with the help of Dr. Death, Josef Mengele.

Sunday I watched the NFL: I watched the Falcons beat the Steelers and the first 3 quarters of the Colts beating the Redskins.

After football I saw bit and pieces of a couple of movies: Just Friends and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I have seen all of Mr. & Mrs. Smith before but this was the first that I had seen any of Just Friends. Just Friends is also on HBO On-Demand this week so I may take the time and watch all of it. I finished off the evening by watching the first 3 episodes Lost that I have been recording on the DVR.
