Thoughts: 08-November-2009

Penn State lost to Ohio State 24-7. With Iowa losing, Penn State lost out on a great chance to win the Big Ten Title.

I have been catching up with my shows via DVR and Comcast On Demand. I have 15 shows over Thursday and Friday to watch, why the networks need to schedule all the stuff I like on those two days is beyond me. I described that I can watch Ghost Whisperer on CBS.com a few weeks after the telecast, and that website has not problems with a high quality streaming video, so I may start recording Law & Order instead of Ghost Whisperer. Be nice if some reruns could start and let me catch up with Law & Order.

American Chopper (TLC) is continuing to go down the tubes. They built an electric bike for Siemens which was very nice, SR. stayed away from the build, which is why it was able to get down. Did make cracks about Jr. cutting it close to deadlines. First, most of the deadlines are artificial on that show, second Jr. always made them, and third this is the first bike that they have built that was as good as what Jr. did. I really don't know where this show is going, time to pull the plug. C

Private Practice (ABC) is starting to go for too much artificial tension between Cooper and Charlotte. She can help him financially but he cannot help her get patients? And the story about the dwarf parents who wanted a dwarf baby regardless of the 40% chance of getting cancer by age 20. Did not make much sense to me. I did like the use of Electric Convulsive Shock therapy though I was worried about the wrong information regarding memory loss and was pleased to see that it was part of the story line. The patient was faking the memory loss, which would not occur in the way it was portrayed on the show. C

Looks like Eastwick (ABC) will be on hiatus for the next couple of weeks. Still does not look good for a renewal.

Oh well.
