I'm In a Larry King TV Mood

Time for mini thoughts on parts of the new TV season. Heroes (NBC): Up to it's usual wonderful standards. It's a continued episodic program. It's great, like 24, which I haven't seen since Season 3, but I have problems keeping focused unless I can watch the whole season at once. Continued episodic television frustrates me. Bionic Woman (NBC): Pretty good. Heads & shoulders above the original but my jury is still out. Chuck (NBC): Not bad, sorta cute in a "Sledge Hammer" sorta way. Boston Legal (ABC): Still the best show on network TV. Journeyman (NBC): I love the premise but there is really a lot going on here. Hope I can keep up. Smallville (CW): With all the revisions on the Superman legend and canon, how long can it possibly be before he puts on the tights and why won't anyone recognize Clark as Superman after all is said & done? When he goes to the Fortress for his training will he morph into Brandon Routh? Samantha Who? (ABC): I didn't expect to like this but it really is funny and will be a hit just because of its time slot. Christine Applegate and Jean Smart are hilarious. Pushing Daisies (ABC): The weirdest show on TV. VERY frustrating comedy, but pretty cool..... I don't care about the girlfriend he can't touch, JUST DON'T KILL THE DOG!!!!!! The Price Is Right (CBS): Drew Carey is really a perfect choice to replace Bob Barker. He is still feeling his way but he will get it eventually. Survivor-China (CBS): This is really getting predictable and old hat. I'm bored with this. Torchwood (BBC America): I saw this early with thanks to a friend in Great Britain. I had forgotten how good this Doctor Who spinoff was. This is quality Sci-Fi.

It's gonna be a LONNNNNNNG October

Padres/Rockies.....WHAT A GAME..... Atkins shoulda had a home run early that was scored a double. WHAT AN ENDING. Two runs down, bottom of the 13th. Matt Holiday who missed a catch to give up the lead earlier scored the winning run and batted in the tying run. Holiday may not have even touched the plate during his collision with the catcher when he scored the winning run. Even he isn't sure. He busted his chops. The Ump hesitated on the final safe call..... GREAT PLAY, LOUSY CALLS, THIS ONE HAD IT ALL!!!!!!!! Except a decent broadcast venue!!!!!! If we must be stuck with TBS to cover the ALDS, NLDS AND the NLCS, PLEEEEEEASE get some announcers that sound excited to be at the game. The Rockies/Padres playoff is one of the most exciting games I have seen in some time. These guys wake up just in time to go to break & throw it to Ernie Johnson Jr. & Cal Ripken, who also have nothing to add. As far as Atkins double that could have been a home run, Fox & ESPN would have dissected that hit for three innings & replayed it from every angle & super slo motion. It barely got noticed by TBS. Also, I know there are people in the stands. I can see them. Why can't I hear them? Lets run a few mikes out there or at least turn up the gain on the one you are using.
