I fell in love with the CMT show Gone Country last season. Hosted by John Rich, who just happens to be my biggest country music crush, the show takes celebrities of various backgrounds and talents and attempts to turn them into country stars. Last year’s winner was Julio Iglesias, Jr.
I just watched the Season 2 [...]
Gone Country is Back!
Too Many Assholes to Count
My mission to count the number of times the word “asshole” appeared in Rescue Me was a failure. I realized about halfway through Season 1 that my total was grossly understated. It was like trying to count the number of times I blinked my eyes.
I finished up Season 1, and I’m now [...]
A Whole Lot of Assholes!
As I mentioned a few posts ago, I just ordered Season 4 of Rescue Me. As I anxiously await its arrival, I have started watching the earlier seasons again. If you’ve ever watched the show, you know just how prevalent the word “asshole” is. Well, curiosity got the better of me. [...]
Going Digital
For the last couple of years, there has been a lot of media coverage about the nation’s upcoming move from analog to digital television broadcasts. But to tell you the truth, it never seemed “real” until I just recently started seeing messages scrolling across the bottom of my TV. It’s hard to believe [...]
Andrew Rises to the Challenge
My buddy Andrew is the King of Shopping. If there’s a deal to be found, he will find it. As I mentioned last week, Season 4 of Rescue Me was released this week. I usually spend $40 - $50 locally for the sets. I challenged Andrew to find me the best [...]
Denis, C’mon and Rescue Me!
There are only two television shows that I never miss - American Idol and Rescue Me. As I’m sure you all know, David Cook became the new American Idol just last week. So no more Idol nights until next year! Fortunately, the new season of Rescue Me will soon be upon us! I’ve heard conflicting [...]
I Love My HDTV!
I was a little late to jump on the HD bandwagon, purchasing my TV just over a year ago. My old TV died a tragic death during American Idol season, and I just couldn’t bear to watch the show on the little 19″ box in my bedroom. So I made a trip to Best Buy [...]
Tears of Joy
I cried my eyes out tonight when Ryan Seacrest announced that David Cook and David Archuleta will be battling it out in the American Idol finale next week. I can’t think of two more deserving people. Both are incredible singers and such down to earth guys. I think this is going to [...]
The Long Awaited Return of House, MD
Tonight marks the first of four all new episodes of House, MD! I just finished watching Season 3 on DVD recently, so I’m all ready for this new season. Only a few episodes have aired, and I’ll be able to catch up by watching those online.
Season 3 was great. House spent a short period of [...]
My TV is Possessed!
You may recall that I freaked out back in October when my TV came on by itself - two days in a row! Well, since that time, this has become somewhat of a regular event. The TV usually turns itself on between 3 and 4 AM, at least every couple of weeks. [...]
