Somebody burn my eyes out and destroy my TV remote. I have watched this show since the premier, and for some reason I keep watching it. It is truly one of the worst shows on Television. Yet I watch. Why?

I think I am waiting for the show to get better. I like the general premise, however the writing is brutal. It is full of extremely cheesy moments, bad coincidences, and big continuity errors, and is more predictable than anything.

I will give you one bad example. In last weeks episode, The shapeshifter (who’s name escapes me – shows how memorable she was) tries to kill Jim Powell. She didn’t know he had powers, and so she shoots him. The bullet bounces off. Later she takes Stephanie Powell’s form and confronts him, at one point in the conversation he mentions “as long as you don’t kiss me with that lipstick and I lose my powers again”. Seriously? How lame is that. So she puts on the lipstick, kisses him, he loses his powers, and then, rather than shoot him again and end it easily, she then takes his form, and fights him to the death. She loses (no surprise here). Why didn’t she just shoot him?

I realize that he is one of the main characters and can’t die, but come on, make the battle a LITTLE bit more realistic. If the characters don’t at least use common sense, the show loses credibility to me. I don’t want to be frustrated watching a show.

What it comes down to is that the writing is really lazy. The stories are not developed enough. I will be very surprised if this show makes it to season 2. I say bring back Heroes. This show was obviously created to fill the hole left by the sudden Heroes cancellation, but was not given the budget, or the talent, to do it right.

I am not sure why, but I will continue watching for now, I am in this far, I may as well give it a chance, but if I miss an episode I certainly won’t be upset over it.

Not sure any readers here will get my reference, but back when I was a kid, right through to high school, every Friday morning at 8am, Vancouver Radio Station LG73 would play this song. (Bang On The Drum by Todd Rundgren). While it may not be the best song in the world, it brings back many memories, and as such I love it.

Here is a live version I found:

Of all the kids in the hall skits, for some reason I always remembered this one.

My wife and I started watching the latest season of Amazing Race a little late, with yesterdays second episode of the season.

One thing that I picked up rather quickly is the frequency of the cowboys and the use of the phrase “Oh My Gravy”. I think this would make for a great drinking game.

From now on whenever you hear the cowboys says “Oh My Gravy” Take a shot of whiskey. I dare you…. If you do, though, be warned, you may have to call in sick (or hungover) to work for Monday morning.

When I was a kid one of my favorite shows was the Muppet Show. One of my favorite songs is Bohemian Rhapsody. I am not sure when this video was created, it appears to be fairly new, but regardless of when it was released I only saw it for the first time today, and there is something about it that I love.

Enjoy.
