I'm in another Larry King mood!

It's been quite a while since I've updated this blog so I probably need to explain the "Larry King mood" to the kids in the audience. (like Alton Brown said on "Good Eats", " My favorite Pizza Peel (google it) is Emma.....Emma Peel!? ...You kids are just gonna have to look that one up!) Larry King used to do a column for USA Today where he just wrote random thoughts about various topics, here is an example....when a baseball team (let's say the Giants) were on a roll he would say "How 'bout those Giants!?", and there would be several of those that comprised the column. Ok here we go!!!!!! Hey Moff & the BBC....6 episodes of "Doctor Who" per year is not enough for us Yanks! The show is too damn good for that. (I won't even bring up the marvelous "Sherlock" that only gets 3) Best NEW show of the year.... "Arrow" (the CW's adaptation of DC Comics Green Arrow). Funniest shows on TV: The Big Bang Theory & The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (Craig is the funniest SOB on TV). To break a recent (5 year...I'm guessing, it could be more) tradition, I am actually going to see a film in a theatre, (IMAX) "Skyfall". Great reviews so far. The real test is if I walk out of the theatre with the James Bond theme running through my head and I am walking out feeling taller & feeling cooler. I haven't had that feeling for decades. So far the Daniel Craig films haven't felt like "Bond" films. More like "Bourne" films ("Quantum" was really mediocre, Casino Royale was a nice start though). The last Brosnan film that was any good was "The World Is Not Enough" (Tracy references...see "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"). "How 'bout those Giants!?" Wow!!!!! Kung Fu Panda hits 3 home runs & an RBI single and Verlander loses game 1 of the World Series. Team of destiny or are the Tigers just victims (like the Rockies) of too many days off waiting? One of my favorite memories was when I covered the Cards beating the Braves in the NLCS (yes, champagne in the eyes stings) and my girl friend was pissed that she wasn't thrown out of the locker room when another lady (trying to disguise herself as a guy) was thrown out for being there. Hey....you got to stay didn't you...It was fun! More to come! (Thanks Johnny....look it up kids)
