I’m in the market for some better TV.
BJ and I have just about had it with our cable provider.  One of the channels we like to watch regularly for weather reports near the camp has been available for only a single day in the past six months or so.  (That’s not to mention the availability [...]

I guess watches, cell phones, and other clocks around the country are set to ring their alarms at 9:00 Eastern Time tonight.
That’s when CSI: picks up on the Warrick Brown shooting on CBS during last season’s cliffhanger.
Gary Dourdan’s legal issues have been well publicized, and it’s never been a secret that his character would be [...]

It’s taken a lot of willpower to wait before writing this post, but just in case somebody is running behind on watching the Tivo, I didn’t want to ruin it for you.
I’ve been a big fan of CSI: since the very beginning. The original one set in Las Vegas, I mean. It gets [...]

Hi. My name is Tammie, and I’m an addict.
I’m not talking about caffeine or nicotine, the two chemical dependencies I hold onto tightly with both hands. No, this is a different type of addiction. I’m hooked on “America’s Next Top Model.”
Have you seen it? “ANTM” is the CW’s top-rated show, so [...]

I’m pleased to see that Paige Davis is back on “Trading Spaces” on TLC.
She left the show three years ago, and it just wasn’t the same without her.  They tried all sorts of gimmicks like extra money bonus rooms, but nothing really worked for me.  Paige was there to both stir the pot and reign [...]

Did you see the Tournament of Roses Parade this morning?
There are just some traditions I can’t do without, and watching that parade every New Year’s Day is one of them.  Those floats are amazing, and I still have a real soft spot in my heart for the marching bands.
One float in particular really struck my [...]

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the end of the writers’ strike.
When did they start calling reruns “encore performances”?  I hate it!!  Oh, sure, I understand how and why bean counters and paper pushers can and do spin everything under the sun, but c’mon!  I’ve already seen this episode seven times.  It’s a rerun.
A&E is [...]

I think I might just have to gag.
There are certain holiday classic movies — Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” and the version of “A Christmas Carol” with George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge, for example — and I even like Bill Murray’s “Scrooged” at this time of the year.  But I gotta tell ya, between [...]

All things considered, it’s been a rough year for sports fans.
Everyone knows certain baseball players were juicing themselves with anabolic steroids while MLB and the Players’ Association turned a blind eye, but until the Mitchell Report came out this past week, I don’t think anyone realized the scope of the cheating.
Bill Belichick and the New [...]

Do you watch “Criminal Minds” on CBS Wednesday nights?
It’s a great show about FBI profilers and the horrifying things they go through to catch serial killers. It’s gritty, graphic, scary, and all too real. But they went too far this week.
If you’ve TiVoed the show and haven’t had a chance to watch it [...]
