Has Big Bang Theory Lost Its Bang
I think the post writer’s strike slump that seems to plague all of television these days has finally hit my favorite sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. The last two episodes where Sheldon’s twin sister visits and Leonard’s birthday party were just lacking that extra spark of geekiness I have come to love since this show…

Football, Baseball, and Basketball Oh My
Sports. Some of us hate them and some of us love them. I fall on the hate them end of that scale. But I am surrounded by fans so I see more than my fair share of sports without even wanting to. At least I am luckier than most as I only have football to…

Boo to CSI’s Two and a Half Deaths
I don’t know about you but I hate TV that tries to incorporate TV into the show. Tonight’s CSI really kind of sucked. The regular cast had horrible dry puns that did not work and were very tired. The guest stars all of which are pretty decent actors seemed as if they were given the…

What Are You Watching?
Fellow blogger AlyCat posted a question asking what movies you watched over and over while growing up that wore out your VCR. Good question. Unfortunately, being a child of the seventies we did not have a VCR. In fact we did not have a VCR until I was almost out of High School and then…

Star Trek References on Numbers
Catching up on my DVR recorded TV shows this weekend and I spotted some more Star Trek references on a CBS show. Any chance CBS/Paramount moved the new Trek movie date from Xmas 2008 to May 2009 so they could exploit their TV series for additional exposure and try to make Trek more hip? Geek…

Me and You Like Rubber and Glue
Last weeks episode of The Big Bang Theory had Sheldon arguing with Leslie Winkel. His response to her insult follows. I just loved it. Sheldon: Yes, well, I am polymerized tree sap and you’re an inorganic adhesive. So whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns in its original trajectory and…

Why Vulcans Have Green Blood
It looks like CBS is making sure that we all remember Star Trek. Tonight’s CSI had a fun conversation between Hodges and Simms discussing a case with green blood and the agent that caused it which turns into a talk about Vulcan blood and Mr. Spock. Liz Vassey who plays CSI Wendy Simms just happens…

Meat Loaf Hams It Up In Go Phone Commercial
Looking for answers to some questions brought up by my friend about the ATT Go Phone commercial featuring Meat Loaf and got no where with Yahoo Answers. Not that it was my first choice. [This is a good example of how user supplied content can go awry.]  Yahoo Answers, what’s the point? I assume they…

Toys and Time Travel
The guys of Big Bang Theory buy the prop time machine from the film The Time Machine. Leonard jumps in and sets the machine to March 10, 1876 the date of the famous first phone call. They proceed to argue over the fact that they all want to go but they would not be able…

Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 2: The DVR
I have gone through three Comcast Cable DVRs since I have first had them and last night mine started acting up again! Last night’s problem had something to do with the hard drive or the software. I could watch TV, but god forbid I should try to pause or rewind. When I did that all…

Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 1: The Channels
Comcast needs to do some re-organizing of their channel line up. That way they can give us some channels we want. Some of the newer ones out there like the Chiller Channel and some long awaited ones like Boomerang. (The Chiller Channel is so much better than that Fear Net onDemand crap we have now…
