Re: CAP S1: Caprica Canceled

Now that you have nothing to review, perhaps you can do Star Trek the animated series. I would love to hear your take on it.

Re: Better organization is costing me too much time

I have an idea to put things in order.
Get your self a DVD recorder.

Then when you can’t watch a show,
Save it to a DVD for when things get slow.

That’s what I do and it’s pure heaven.
I can watch shows 24 by 7!

But more often than not I find it’s neat,
Just to hit the remote button called “delete”!

Re: Rotating Christmas trees: Why?

Actually the tree is not rotating. It is suspended and still in the universe while the rest of the universe rotates around it.

Re: Stolen newspaper saga update

I would be happy to hide in the stairwell with my beautiful new camera, take a picture of the thief so that you can post it on YouTube!

I also have a laptop motion alarm that could be put in the paper and when the thief moves it it makes the worst noise! I can see them running away in a panic!

Re: So you're the son of a bitch who's been stealing my newspaper

Hide in the shadows with an electo-atomizer (or a camera with a bright flash) and blast the dude!

I think Mappo has a great idea.

By the way, only in a "STRICT LAND" would a BACK dated newspaper FROM weeks ago a use in THE FUTURE.

Re: Get a life, you iPhone-crazy fools

Knucklehead newscaster on one of the cable news channels pointed out that the iPhone could show videos, connect to the internet, play music, and make phone calls. I have an LG VX8600 cell phone and it does all of these things plus it has a camera that does videos and still photos!

But it doesn’t have a flat, can’t see in the sunlight, multipurpose, all in one, fancy, can only use ATT, cost too much, crackable screen!

Re: Jammer's '24' Day 6 debriefing

YEAH, Yeah, yeeh....

Re: Jammer's '24' Day 6 debriefing

Jammer, Jammer, Jammer…
You missed the point again.
Wayne Palmer was on a drug trip
So his collapse was not that thin.

He was blowed up real good
Internal injuries it appears
His head wasn’t made of wood
And there are no Dr. Bashirs

Daniels the ambitious VP
Like most backups wanted more
But he found that a real catastrophe
Might force him into war

Commanders in Chief at wartime
All change when duty is due
So to seem him finally climb
To the office is a story so true

The real villain it appears was Pop Bauer
Killed his son early that day
And disappear he did for some hours
Reappearing at the end (No cliché!)

After all villains have done this for ages
For that’s the way the story goes
The writers must produce more pages
On the action of the plot’s heroes

Nadia’s is not a bad tech
Who forgives petty behavior of men
When Doyle showed her honest respect
She returned it in kind to him

As for Milo, well he loved her for sure
But Nadia took the professional stance
She resisted his manly allure
And rejected his office romance

The Russian President was a hostage
Of generals that were hateful war hawks
So he could not mimic an ostrich
When cornered he mouthed some tough talks

And then we have hapless Audrey
Her brain in total disarray
Before you say it’s all phony
Change places with her for one day

Jammer, Jammer, Jammer…
You focused on trivia I fear
You dropped a large heavy hammer
But missed the setup for next year

Who’s the father of Chole’s baby?
Edgar, her husband, or Jack
We’ll find out in hour 23
Next season when 24 is back

Re: To ABC geniuses: An ad campaign is not a sitcom

Come on. How can we be against a show that has not even hit the airwaves! After all, the caveman adds have proven to be very popular. And look at all of the free advertising that Geico will get!

What if I proposed a prime time cartoon about a dysfunctional family where all the people were yellow and had bug eyes. DOH!

What about a show based on a TV cowboy series called “Wagon Train” that takes place in outer space at some time in Earth’s future. I doubt there is a star in this trek much less any spin-offs or motion pictures.

Try this. A reality show where singer wannabes compete for a recording contract. Nah. That’s just an idle thought of a foolish American.

Or this one, a show about a comedian who lives in New York City that has no plot! Forget it. What am I thinking? Perhaps my mind swelled.

None of these ideas are any good. But I have some that can’t fail.

How about a Dr. series with Andre Braugher playing a sensitive oncologist. With numerous nominations for Emmys, Golden Globe and Image awards, the show can’t miss. It would last for years. NOT!

Let’s try getting some amazing stories from Stephen Speilberg, with some big name actors and a new story each week. With John Williams doing the music and Amblin producing, it is sure to become a long term staple en every household. For a while at least.

I have an old saying, never judge a book by its cover. Never judge a man by his looks. (Even if he needs a shave and a good set of eyebrow tweezers.) But never judge a show based on its premise. No matter how sound or ridiculous it seems.
