DVD Pick: Pillars of the Earth miniseries released in November!

Just a few months ago, I was rather bummed out that I couldn't watch this awesome miniseries that aired on the Starz network. But looks like I won't have to wait much longer now that the dvd is going to be released in late November! The Pillars of the Earth is based on the bestselling …

TV-Watching Mondays: Chuck, The Event & Hawaii Five O

With the Fall season upon us, all kinds of new shows are coming out of the woodwork. For some reason, my TV watching has dropped significantly the past few years. In the 90s I watched a ton of 'em: Wings, Frasier, Friends, News Radio... man, those were fun! But last night I spent a whole …

Gerard Butler on SNL: Fun despite some lame skits

I got an extra dose of Gerard on Saturday nite after seeing him in Law Abiding Citizen on Friday. It's always great to see the funny side of him, but it's extra amusing after watching him play a furious and brutal character the night before. The show opens with The Rock Obama skit. I don't …

The show I’ll be watching this Fall: THREE RIVERS

I haven't been a TV watcher much, if at all, lately. I can count with my hands how many times per month I turn it on to watch a scheduled program. When I do, it's either to watch the news, weather, or whatever happens to be on when I get on my elliptical machine. Somehow …
