Thoughts: 16-October-2009

I am off to Chicago tomorrow for the Society for Neuroscience meeting. So I will be off line until Oct 23.

Penn State takes on Minnesota this weekend. I like the Nittany Lions to win, 21-7.

Patriots are at home against the Titans, should be an easy win for them and a chance to come back after the loss to the Broncos. I like them to win, 35-3.

Heroes (NBC) has just been a so-so average show so far this season. After the exciting and creative Season 1, I have not really seen anything special about this show. Just average, which makes me think that all the creative juices were used up for Season 1. C

The Good Wife (CBS) is starting to fall into the same trap. After an interesting pilot episode, it has just become an average show. Chris Noth is making fewer and fewer appearances and once he is gone, I do not know where this show will lead to. C

NCIS (CBS) after a great season last year, is continuing putting out really good hows in its 7th season. Why can this show be so good after 6 years, but other shows after a couple of years feel really tired and boring. A

Grey's Anatomy (ABC) took some of the stupid pills that the Private Practice writers use and came up with a very bad show. The Mercy West doctors showed up, all wearing orange scrubs, and all competing with the Blue clad Seattle Grace staff. Izzie screws up another patient, costing her a kidney transplant, and finally gets fired. She has to be one of the worst TV doctors since Larry Linville's Frank Burns on MASH. She has left the show for now, but will be coming back.

Private Practice (ABC) had Bailey guest star from Grey's Anatomy, she brings the kidney transplant patient down to where Private Practice is based on, to get a kidney from her sister. Not a good match but close enough. Then we find out the sister is HIV Positive and they still go a head and put that kidney into our patient. Oh brother. We also find out the Peter is the biological father, Brian Benben, who plays Sheldon, leaves the room and one can see the happiness on his face as he races out of this show. Hopefully, he can get on a better show next time. D

Oh well.
