Super Bowl Commercial Round-up

Last night’s Super Bowl was one of the most exciting in recent memory. For this New-Englander-at-heart, the New Orleans Saints’ trouncing of the Indianapolis Colts was the best all-around game since the Patriots upset the Rams a billion football years ago. With all eyes on the field, the toughest competition for the uber-expensive commercials was [...]

24 Season 8: 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Last week’s episode was definitely a filler show, but there were flashes of entertainment embedded in the plodding narrative. This week? Just barrels of slowness and tedium.

Supernatural 5.12 – Swap Meat

This show was clearly made as an energy-saver for the actors, prepping them I’m sure for some long work days as we enter the home stretch.

24 Season 8: 8:00pm to 9:00 pm

This episode was a filler show, but I was still compelled. So far there aren’t any dead weight storylines, though the ex-boyfriend extortion plot is real close to getting on my nerves.

And now the second half of the four-hour premiere. Where we left off: a powerful president of a nameless “Islamic Republic” is ready to forge a groundbreaking peace treaty with the United States and, of course, someone is gearing up to wipe him out. Enter Jack Bauer and the high-larious ineptitude of CTU! [...]
