The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

Was That David Spade?

Was it just me or did I see David Spade in the background behind Randy spit out his gum and put in on the bottom of his seat?  I would swear by it.

New American Idol Tonight- iTunes Top 100? & I Pick the Winner!

Thankfully we are back on our regular American Idol schedule tonight.  We are down to 9 contestants, and some of those that were once thought to be front runners have faded away.  No one is quite sure what tonight’s theme is, but the rumor is that it’s the iTunes Top 100 Songs.  I’ve decided to [...]

TVontheDVD- March 31st

To be honest I was real close to not even doing a TVontheDVD post this week because of the lack of quality offerings, but I’m going to be professional.  After all one man’s trash is another man’s California Dreams DVD.

California Dreams – Seasons 1 & 2
The Fugitive: Season Two, Vol. 2- The greatest show about [...]

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Let’s be honest here.  I didn’t expect much from HBO’s latest offering, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, but it was on HBO so I watched it.  I figured I wasn’t going to be the target demographic of a show about an African woman solving mysteries in Botswana; being male, middle-class, hetero-sexual and white.
Maybe I [...]

American Idol- Motown Week, No Big Surprises Here

I don’t know what anyone was really all that surprised by the results of this week’s American Idol.

Michal Sarver went home last night, despite the fact that the judges really looked as if they might be considering using their save.  Michael had a great story, and seemed really likable, but he never really showed much [...]

Lost – Natural Born Killers

Well, after what seemed like two weeks off (last week’s episode was a little flat), we were once again treated to a great, thought-provoking, mind-bending episode of Lost.
Episode 5.10 “He’s Our You” was a Sayid-centered episode whose title came from the comparisons between Sayid and Dharma’s torturer Oldham.  However, the episode really drew more parallels [...]

Big Love, Party Down, and Eastbound and Down

Since the president pre-empted American Idol, and pretty much everything else on TV last night I’m going to write about a few things I watched over the weekend.  This was originally intended to be three separate posts, but I’m just going to make it one long one.
Big Love has it’s season 3 finale on Sunday [...]

TVontheDVD- March 24th

It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another installment of TVontheDVD.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series- this is the perfect example of a great show that never found it’s audience.  It was quirky and clever, but it’s ratings blew, so it went away too soon.
Animalia: Talent-O-Topia (DVD) [Blu-ray]
Charles in Charge: Season [...]

Top 10 Characters Not Named Simpson on The Simpsons

In honor of the 20th Season of The Simpsons we are going to have a Simpson’s related list this week.  I know it hasn’t been a great show in years, but it is still a classic.  Here are the top 10 Characters on The Simpsons Who Are Not A Member of the Simpson Family:

Millhouse Van [...]

Odds & Ends

Better Off Ted- The new workplace comedy had it’s premiere this week, and I really thought it was funny.  It reminds me of Arrested Devlopment, and it even has Portia de Rossi in it to make the comparison even easier.  It takes place in a large company that does a little bit of everything.  Ted [...]
