My wife especially says I watch too much tv. I happen to agree, but I also happen to not have a problem with it. I really enjoy my "idiot box". So with that being said, I was thinking of starting a new weekly blog style thread in which lots of different shows are discussed.

This is going to be shows shown in the United States, as.....well thats where I live. Sorry, I wont talk about shows I havent even heard of unless it peaks my interest.

I will try to cover as much news, topics and tidbits as I can, but I will clearly miss some stuff so feel free to add your comments below. The more views and replies the more likely I am to make sure I do it each week.

This will be in short news bullets as to not confuse the Daks of the board. Thanks for reading.

Don't worry about the sources. They are all 100% verified and legit, but I get them from so many different places and I don't care to keep track, just trust me on them. Thanks haha.


A recent poll in TVGuide asked:

Regenerate should have been the winner in a landslide. Bending time would also be badass. You could do so much crazy shit if you could even just stop time, let alone boucing back and forth.


24 Says NO to Jennifer Aniston.

Good. I like that its setup the way it is. That show creates stars, it doesn't take them in. Plus its all Sutherlands show in the long run.


More 24 News:

Season 6 will start as America has been attacked for 11 straight weeks with car bombs, suicide bombs, small bombs. Every American's nightmare. Jack will start the season in a Chinese prison. Hopefully the first 8 episodes arent just him in a airplane traveling to America. That would be kinda boring. har har.


Starting Feburary 7, LOST will move to 10 pm. 8-10 is now scheduled for 4 half hour long comedy type shows, including new shows The Knights of Prosperity and Case of Emergency.

America's Next Top Model is CariDee. She beat out 23 year old Melrose in the finals. I sadly, didn't miss an episode and was happy to see both girls in the finals. The deserving girl won. Yes, hate on me now, but I like that show damnit.

David Letterman signed an extension to remain with "Late Show" through 2010. One year longer than the Jay Leno deal.

30Rock has been given a full year commitment.

Rebecca Romin will become a series regular over time with 'Ugly Betty'

Masi Ohka will appear as a quasi host on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. He will retain his Hiro character for Studio.

and now the ratings.
