What I’m Watching – Fall/Winter 2010 Edition

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Sons of Anarchy The 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy just ended this week. I had planned on posting this before any of the shows ended but these days there isn’t really “a fall season” so shows tend to start and end at random times. This show reminds me of of early seasons [...]

There is only a week or so left for most of these shows so I better squeeze this post in while I can.
Because I know you care, here is what I’m watching on TV these days.
Mad Men – Now in season 4 and still the best show on TV, as far as I know (but [...]

Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson Dead

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

2 legends that shaped popular culture from my childhood until today… Farrah’s death was expected due to her known cancer but Michael, the only man who should ever be called The King of Pop, died with no warning.
Respect.

Time Warner Drops HDNet, sirshannon Drops His HD Tier

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

When I signed up for cable in my current home, I ordered an HD tier (not sure which one) by requesting “the one that includes HDNet”. I just received a letter from Time Warner yesterday stating that, as of tomorrow, I will no longer have HDNet because they will no longer offer it. [...]

Mad Men Season 2 encore (and Breaking Bad Season 2) begins March 8

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Beginning Sun., Mar. 8 at midnight (following the premiere of Breaking Bad), Mad Men Season 2 returns for encore presentations.
I’m interested in seeing how Breaking Bad continues after its very short first season, but I am more interested in rewatching season 2 of the best show on television, Mad Men.

Benji Hughes – The Mummy – on Jimmy Kimmel Live Video

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

The Jimmy Kimmel Live site is the most annoying site I’ve seen in a while… every frakin click causes another video ad to play before you can do anything. This vid is kinda small but not bad. This is “The Mummy”, the 2nd song Benji and friends played that night; the song they [...]

Why Does HBO Hate Me?

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

HBO, for a few years, was home of the best original programming the small screen had to offer. But then Six Feet Under grew so annoyingly bizarre that I had to stop watching it because I disliked (or hated) every single character. I never watched Sex in the City but I guess it was [...]

Mr. Wizard Dead at 89

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Don Herbert (aka Mr. Wizard) was one of the biggest influences in my early years as a nerd-in-training being raised by the teevee. His show on Nickelodeon, Mr Wizard’s World, was one of my favorites; it was cool, it was fun, it was smart, it was educational, and it had girls my age on it…
He [...]
