Fall Prime Returns

Wow...So I forgot how much I missed primetime programming...

And call me crazy...but I really like NBC's shows. I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to this but oh well. Kind of crazy but I've liked most of the dramas they've developed over the last couple of years. I don't know why but I think it's probably just some sort of blow-back in my mind against the gradual CSI-ization of TV. Or I'm crazy. Who knows.

But I still love me some Law & Order..

On Daily Habits

Going to keep this short(er)...

And only to personal stuff.

Wow... More than 2 weeks since my last post and I'm digging in again. I've been struggling to stay on my normal sleep schedule... which if you've ever worked graveyard you know.. can be a real killer. But because of that today I noticed something. My schedule besides being opposite in time of day working also lends itself to other oddities. For example, most people wake up, eat, go to work. I work, then eat, and go to bed. So strange. Just one of those little observations that make life great.

The Fancy Moving Picture Box Machine

TV People love TV for the most part. I love tv. Watching it. Reading about it. Talking about it. Making it. I'm head over heels when it comes to TV. The rest of the media too. Movies in particular always amaze me. I hate horror films and slasher gross out flicks. But it still blows my mind that special effects can do what they do.

So what you ask am I talking about? I'm talking about movies.. about TV. Yes. It's official I just blew your mind. Get excited. We TV people likes us some movies.

So without further painful waiting... My top 5 films about TV.

5. Broadcast News --> Yes. Intraoffice romance does happen.

4. Network --> Sometimes you do just get "mad as hell".

3. Anchorman --> Because TV people can take a joke.

2. Live from Baghdad --> How the Cable News Network got started & why it deserved James Earl Jones as it's voice.

1. Good Night & Good Luck --> The Absolute Gold Standard.

Honorable Mentions:

All The President's Men --> Not about TV but Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman crack a joke about CBS & NBC swooping in through the windows for a scoop. So true.

The Wire --> Again, not about TV News but the final season's focus on the dying Baltimore Sun and the state of the media is worthy of attention. Even if it's a TV show... It should have been a film.

Absence of Malice --> The @KTVBKelsey award for ournalism & ethics... Starring Sally Fields!

If you haven't seen any of these... Go out and rent one. Trust me. It'll be worth it. Scotch scotch scotch.. scotchy scotch scotch.

Terror Grown At Home... Right In The USA

ELF.

Who's scared? Not me.

Now paint those letters on a white sheet and knock down several radio transmission towers with a bulldozer... http://bit.ly/Zhrr

Who would have thought a little ole Elf could do all that?

Watch out for the Earth Liberation Front. Crazy enviro-terrorists. It's not confirmed that they're actually responsible for this incident but a sign at the scene included their signature acronym.

They're also the same organization which were thought to be responsible for an arson attack that destroyed several multimillion dollar luxury homes near Seattle in March of 2008.. http://bit.ly/TfvFB

What a crazy world we live in.
