Not an auspicious start

Well my first day in the new year did not start off well for my TV viewing life, I spent a great deal of the day at the auto mechanics trying to figure out why my car wouldn't start, and rotating my tires. So at about 2:30pm I was able to sit down in front of the boob tube and get my watch on.

Here is a list of what I was able to watch Monday afternoon and evening, in no particular order.

I watched the ending of Evolution on DVD, I bought a copy of it at Wal-Mart for $4.44, can you believe it? Such a great movie for such a low price. When I saw it on the rack I could not pass it up. Other than The Replacements this is probably Orlando Jones best work.

I also watched Madea's Family Reunion on DVD. This was one of about 8 DVDs my wife (God bless her) bought at Blockbuster during a used DVD sale they were having. Madea is a great character and one of the funniest on stage or screen, I first got to see her when I was in prison one weekend (I was working there, not staying there). The inmates were watching videos of the stage productions of Madea and I was hooked.


I watched a few items on the DVR: Two episodes of American Dad and an episode of Scrubs. I recently discovered (within the last two weeks) what a great show Scrubs is, I wish I would have started watching it years ago. Hilarious!

I did watch some regular TV as well. I watched parts of the Mythbusters marathon on the Discovery Channel, and parts of the 100 Greatest Discoveries series on the Science Channel. I also watched Modern Marvels: Distilleries 2 on the History Channel, this episode covered distilleries and spirits that were overlooked in Distilleries 1, such as Cognac, Absinthe, Moonshine and liqueurs. I ended the evening by watching a great episode of Futurama on The Cartoon Network, Roswell that Ends Well.
