Travels
Anticipation as my day of air travel began
After a long day on 2 flights that included a toddler kicking the back of my seat for 3 hours, burnt pizza purchased at JFK airport, a missed opportunity to snag a pic with a contestant from Top Chef that caught the same flights as me, a near missed flight because of a gate change that I was unaware of until the last minute and a brief hostile exchange with a Richmond airport employee that wasn't too pleased that I wasn't in the mood to be friendly. however, considering she stood in my face and started talking to me to get my attention when she saw me engaged in conversation on the phone, I didn't feel so bad about telling her I was busy and she was being rude.
This vacation is gonna be GREAT!

The Verdict
I watched BET's SOB and We Got To Do Better last night. Did you?
Neither show was great. Both hosts were terrible especially Charlie Murphy. It was painful watching his segments. He looked uncomfortable. And DL wanted to laugh at his own jokes. Hell I think he did laugh at his jokes a few times. It was rather obnoxious considering his punchlines weren't even funny. Can someone explain the DL pop-up window during the middle of segments? That was rather dumb and more than a bit jarring. The shows lacked crisp, clean from segment to segment. Better editing would make the shows pop, in my opinion.
I can't say that I was disappointed because I didn't expect much from either show. However, BET needs to step it up. If that's the best they have to offer, its not gonna cut it.

TV, TV, TV, TV
Because of certain aspirations I now have, I watch exorbitant amounts of tv trying to get handle on what's good or what's bad, why certain shows make it on-air, why certain shows fail to catch on and I'm always dissecting a good show to get understanding of what makes it so good. As a result, I've been test driving loads of shows. Its tiring trying to keep up with all of the shows. Thank goodness I can download a few of them.
1. I watched Glenn Close's new tv show Damages last night and I don't know how I feel about it just yet. I'm still trying to process everything, the characters; tone; acting; plot. There was something intriguing about the show that drew me in, yet there was something that turned me off. I'm trying to figure out what's throwing me off. Anyone see it?
2. I've watched 2 episodes of ABC Family's show Greek and I don't get why this show was made. I certainly don't understand what ABC-F found interesting about the concept. An intelligent, likable nerd entering his first year of college wants to learn how to have fun so he pledges a fraternity.
3. Rock of Love is a boring carbon copy of FoL. It fails in all the areas FoL succeeded.
4. I might become a weekly Lifetime viewer after watching the first episode of Side Order of Life. ;-)
5. I love Lili Taylor but the first ep of State of Mind didn't make me want to tune in again. Her acting was on point but the storyline was muddled.
6. HBO should do us all a favor and pull the plug on John from Cincinnati. It's one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Oddly enough, it's so bad that I watch every week to see how much worse its gotten.
7. Conceptually, I think Age of Love is a fun idea. I don't know why but it doesn't hold my attention.
8. Flight of the Concords cracks me up.
9. I don't know why I watched the entire The Starer Wife miniseries. It stared with a little promise then it fizzled.
10. Ma.ki.ng the B.a.nd 4 has been quite entertaining.
11. Top Chef still has me hooked but a lot of the chefs look unsure of themselves.
12. My fav newest show is Burn Notice. The writing is smart and funny, and the performances are strong.
13. Did anyone watch The Next Food Network Star? Jag was something else.
14. I'm glad they finally replaced that son on the Dead Zone. The original actor was bland.
15. The 4400 is losing steam. The show has hit a comfortable plateau. They need to mix it up.
16. The game show Without Prejudice on GSN has piqued my interest.
