The Internets Have A Dirty Mind - Nebulous Programming Edition

Stupid cold weather.  What is this, Chicago in April? 

Oh.  Nevermind then.

Shhhh.... The internet seems to be sleeping today. 

Teevee

  • I just realized that I never did comment on the season finale of Battlestar that aired a week or so ago.  Here is my spoiler free commentary:  Meh.  Saw both 'twists' coming from a mile away.  The LA Times have a spoiler ladden article that describes the lengths the producers went to keep one of those twists secret.
  • The sixth season of The Shield premiered last night.  The previous five seasons were worth watching so I don't see why this one wouldn't be.  Sorry about the late notice.
  • Some mobster show returns for its final season on Sunday.  If what I've been reading is to be believed, the universe will collapse in on itself the second the series finale airs.   Does this mean I can stop stressing over my upcoming nuptuals? ( No -The Girl).  The House Next Door celebrating the end of creation with Sopranos week.  Like they did with The Wire they've got some nice, in depth character analysis going on over there:  Paulie & Janice are the first two to get the treatment.  Hopefully there will be no Artie filler.
  • Let's look at the titles of recent Bravo reality shows shall we? 
    • Top Chef - Title gives me all the information I need to know
    • Top Design - Ditto
    • Workout - Again, very to the point
    • The Real Housewives of Orange County - This title is just about as transparent as possible
    • Project Runway - Not as straightforward.  Could be either about fashion or air traffic controllers
    • Blow Out - A show about flat tires?  Oral sex?  No.  It's about ... a hair salon?  Ok, I get this one.  A little oblique but not totally out there.
    • Money Shot - Yeah, that's just wrong.  Even if it is about photographers.  (Note to self:  Do not Google Image search "money shot" at work)
  • 24 is a hollow version of its former self these days.  That doesn't stop this shirt from making me want to scream "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!" at the top of my lungs

Cheesy Charlie's is great. They have a game where you put in a dollar and you get four quarters. I win every time.

Blow Out might be one of the most ridiculous shows I've EVER seen.  Everyone should watch at least one episode.  When he's not crying over something the main character walks around telling people they suck, but have "a BANGIN' dew" (spoken like Putty).
