Well I have pretty much already beat this to death, but I feel it needs repeating. FEARnet is the only horror channel on comcast and quite frankly it is the worst one out there. Come on comcast give us something better please.
Oh, you can ask for channels but they never add them so why bother?
Additional reasons that FEARnet and Comcast suck can be found here:
Well if you have been reading my blog for any amount of time you know I have an ongoing issue with Comcast Cable and their crappy service. This time it is their customer service. I have already pointed out their enormous cost before so let me just tell you how shocked I was by my bill once my triple play pricing special ran out. So I grabbed a phone and gave them a call. I was put on hold then disconnected. Okay, so I call back this time I get some one who says they are going to look into it for me. Again I am put on hold and the call is disconnected! At this point my frustration has turned to anger so I decide I am going to wait a few days and call back.
A couple of days go by and I try calling again. This time I get some one who seems eager to help and isn’t hanging up on me. He supposedly tries to change my plans to reduce my costs, but every time he does his computer crashes. He reboots twice before telling me to call back again.
Well their ploy worked. I gave up trying and I continue to pay them way too much money all because I could not get any customer service.
Their commercials talk about how wonderful they are and how if they don’t fix something on the first call they’ll give you $20. Wonder if that guarantee works when you cannot get satisfaction from their call center?
Who knew that the game of rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock shown on the Big Bang Theory was and actual game? Not I. I found out the other day while poking around ThinkGeek.com they made a t-shirt (which is pretty cool in its own right) and they linked to the guy who came up with it.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock was created by Sam Kass with Karen Bryla. The rules are easy and the reasons for using it instead of the standard rock, paper, scissors makes pretty good sense. People that know each other too well will inevitably end up in a tie about 80% of the time. So by adding 2 new variables this will decrease those chances of getting a tie.
Here are the rules (Sheldon will also explain them in the video). Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitate lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. Rock crushes scissors.
Tonight’s Big Bang Theory had Sheldon wearing yet another way cool t-shirt. This time it was a cool Godzilla monster silhouette shirt from the folks over at Super7.
I will so be getting one of those.
But while I call myself a fan I don’t know if I can name all of the monsters pictured on the shirt. I may need some help with that.
So if you want to look cool like Sheldon go get this shirt. (but not until I get mine)
Don’t know if you are aware of this or not (and it might be too late at this point, but hey you have until 6pm est to head out to a store and find yourself the glasses) there will be a 3D commercial during the game.
Yep, 3D as in jumping off the screen at you.
I love 3D. Went to see My Bloody Valentine in 3D two weeks ago with my niece and I came out of that film thinking ALL movies should be released in Real D 3D. Even the non-3D-ish (meaning stuff poking out at you) scenes just looked cool.
So run out to the store and get your glasses. I have seen them at Target and the grocery store. But don’t just chuck them after the game, Monday’s episode of CHUCK will be in 3D as well.
Ricardo Montalban passed away. He died January 14, 2009.
As posted over at the Huffington Post, he is often remembered by things like: “Fine Corinthian leather,” Khan and, “Smiles, everyone, smiles.” The “Fine Corinthian leather” dates us all. Perhaps the younger generation better remembers him saying “carne asada” in a Taco Bell commercial a few years back.
Check out the very nice write up on Ricardo Montalban over at the Huff Post and be sure to watch the TCM movie marthon (7 in all) starring Mr. Montalban.
Not too sure how happy this year will be but since 2008 ended so badly 2009 should be better. I hope.
Here’s wishing everyone else a great new year.
I am sitting here watching Bugs Bunny and trying to remember better times.
So far I got to see some of my favorites like the little red riding hood screaming “TO HAVE”, the interesting monster with the interesting hairdo and little Ralph Philips and his imagination. I’ll have to dig out my Looney Tunes DVDs again.
Tonight’s Big Bang Theory wasn’t really an exceptional episode, but it had its moments. The best of those was at the end of the episode when Penny finally gives Sheldon (who I believe is quickly becoming the show favorite – I know he’s my favorite) an Xmas gift. (You will have to watch the episode to hear Sheldon’s holiday story).
Penny’s gift to Sheldon was a napkin. Not just any napkin. It was Leonard Nimoy’s napkin and not only did it have his signature on it, but he had used it. Therefore it had Leonard Nimoy’s DNA on it. Sheldon was so excited he was shaking. He even went so far as to hug Penny!
I am sitting here working on my posts watching Batman: Returns and Batman and Catwoman were in the middle of a big fight seen and my thoughts immediately go to Big Bang Theory. First I said something about counting catwomen and then I lower my voice and say “I’m Batman”. If you haven’t been watching Big bang Theory you might get either one of those jokes. They are both from the series premiere (I think it was three weeks ago). Funny stuff.
Sheldon and Leonard were talking about being a superhero as they were walking up the stairs and Sheldon said he could never be the Green Lantern without some one coming to him from the planet Oa and giving him a power ring but with enough start up capital and a research facility he could be Batman. Leonard just looks at him asking “You could be Batman?” Then Sheldon lowers his voice and says “I’m Batman. See?”
When we first saw this we almost died laughing. Especially since that was our biggest complaint about Batman: The Dark Knight.
In the season opener of Big Bang Theory we find Sheldon staying over at Howard’s because he cannot keep a secret Penny told him from Leonard. Once settled in bed Sheldon begins to ramble about Catwoman due to the Halle Berry Poster over Howard’s bed.
Here’s their conversation. After this I will give my list of favorite Catwomen.
Sheldon: That poster of Halle Berry is a little unnerving.
Howard: So don’t look at it.
Sheldon: She’s like my fourth favorite Catwoman.
Howard: No Kidding.
Sheldon: Yeah, Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eartha Kitt and then her.
Howard: What about Lee Meriweather?
Sheldon: Oh, I forgot about Lee Meriweather.
Howard: Well I’m glad that is settled.
Sheldon: That makes Halle Berry my fifth favorite Catwoman. It’s Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriweather …
Howard: Please I’m begging you go to sleep.
Sheldon: I’m trying. I’m counting Catwomen.
Sheldon: She did make a fine mutant in the X-Men movies, though.
Howard: Oh for God sake.
Sheldon: She’s not my favorite of the X-Men though. In order that would be wolverine, Cyclops…wait I forgot Professor X. Professor X, Wolverine, Cyclops, Iceman, then Storm, Angel, the Beast…No wait Nightcrawler. Professor X, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Cyclos, Iceman, then Storm, Angel, the Beast…
I have to disagree with Sheldon a little on the order of Catwomen.
My favorite Catwoman is Michelle Pfeiffer, then Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Halle Berry, Lee Meriweather. (And we’ll throw Adrienne Barbeau in there as well. She played Catwoman in Batman the Animated Series).
I was very sad to see that Boston Legal will be ending after this season. This was the only TV series I was really waiting for all summer. Bummer.
Guess I will have to enjoy Denny Crane as much as possible this season while I can. The premiere wasn’t all that special, but it was a good show none-the-less. Best thing about it was Denny’s worrying about his junk not working.
Worst Week was the worst series premiere so far. I think it just might keep that title too. It was actually painful to watch. It was very predictable and not in the least bit funny. The characters weren’t the least bit interesting or compelling. At least CBS thought ahead and stuck this at the end of a good line up instead of in the middle of it. Otherwise it would have ruined my TV viewing for the evening. As it was I switched over to ABC with 15 minutes left in the episode to sit through the end of Dancing With The Stars (another pointless TV series, but one that is still better than Worst Week) so I was ready for the Boston Legal season premiere. I hope that Worst Week gets yank soon and they stick something better at the end of the Monday comedy line because that show was anything but funny.
