The Show Must Go On...

I guess that was the week that was.  Hmmm.... I was off from work all week with the knasty knee and... what was on?  Nothing much!  Argh!

Pardon my rant, but:

Okay.  I had a whole week of weekdays off.  What show do I like to watch if I'm home on a weekday morning?  You got it -- 'Ellen.'  What show was preempted for Wimbledon tennis almost every day this week in the NYC viewing area?  You got it!  'Ellen'!  Grr.  Of course, once I saw the one show which seemed to air, it was a repeat and one of the few I've previously viewed.  :::thumping head on keyboard because it feels good when I stop:::

Then I watched the 'Dancing With the Stars' show which is garnering all the hubbub.  HUH?  What's that all about?  Where are the stars?  Do I know these stars?  Yeah, I recognize Elaine's boss from the 'Seinfeld' series.  Oh, and was that Joey guy in a boy band maybe?  I know it has an audience and more power to the folks who enjoy it.  But I found the only time I was paying attention was when all the couples were waltzing.  I wanted them to crash.

All right.  My vicious evil ranting is over.  I'm ready to mumble a bit now.

I wasn't as impressed with 'Fire Me Please' this week.  Previous episodes gave me at least one hearty giggle.  Nada this week.  Not horrible, but no rating on the Giggle Meter at all.  Not a great sign.

I also watched 'The Cut' although I was feeling too icky to do a Blog 'n Watch on it.  Now, it's too bad Tommy got booted, but I can understand the reasoning behind the decision.  He didn't work with the team and, as they say, there is no "I" in team.  I was a bit amused at his reaction.  All in all, it wasn't my favorite episode, but I was recovering from a knasty knee doc appointment where horrible ghastly stuff was done to my knee.  So, it could have been my mindset.

It was surprising that the 'C.S.I.' repeat shown Thursday night was one I actually never saw before.  Yay!  Whoopee! 

Well, after a basically dismal TV week, at least 'Letterman' was new shows all week.  Phew!  There is hope for us all!
