Season Finale Reviews - (Warning: Spoilers)

By now, everyone has caught up with their favorite TV shows in their Tivo Now Playing List, and I can comment on stuff....

LOST was.... AWWWWWWEEEEESSSOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE
That's AWESOME, for the ALL CAPS deficient readers... I got a little glassy when Charlie put his hand up against the glass and floated away.... Here's an interview with him about his thoughts on leaving the show... This was the BEST episode since the pilot.. Hurley running the Others down, Sayid snapping the guys neck..! I've wanted the Others to meet their doom in horrific ways, and they did! And the FLASH-FORWARD of Jack caught me off guard....
--------------------------
I will miss The King Of Queens, consistently the funniest show on TV, but I understand everyone needed to move on.. Douglas Heffernen was quite the character... let's wrestle!
---------------------------
I will also miss THE CLASS... I forgot to mention that show when I ranted about all my other shows getting cancelled... How the hell do you cancel a show that is either 2nd or 3rd in its timeslot and is from the Producers of Friends? Frakking idiots!
---------------------------
Heroes was above average, but still a letdown...
--------------------------
Desperate Housewives was nice, and it wouldn't kill me if that uber-slut was still swinging from the rafters when next season fires up.
--------------------------
24... All I can say, is they cleaned up the slate, so Jack Bauer could end up ANYWHERE next season... Even Chloe could be gone.. That's fine... The show needs a new set of problems and characters.... Jack is just fine..
-------------------------
There are a few good shows coming on this and next week in case you go into TV withdrawal.... First and foremost is Traveler.. I saw it back in September (I have a client in the show)... The pilot was almost as rivoting as Lost.. It's on Wednesday nights on ABC... FIND IT..
ON THE LOT was pretty interesting.. Creature Comforts looks like a fun show.
Monk will start up again in about 3 weeks, as will Entourage (HBO). I'm beyond hooked on Battlestar Galactica... Now I know why it won a Peabody Award.. It's not a sci-fi show this time.... it is a drama that just happens to be in space... Netflix it to catch up.... Savor the last 5 episodes of Studio 60, on Thursday night.. We won't see writing this good again until ???

Open Letter To CBS, NBC & ABC

Dear Dipshits!
You've screwed me over for the last time... I've endured cancellations of Surface and Invasion, both excellent, riveting OFF-BEAT dramas in 2005, lived thru HBO cancelling Deadwood,
wept (on the inside) at NBC being too freaking stupid to put Studio 60 on, on its NATURAL night, (WEDNESDAY AT 10!!! Same as West Wing..OMFG smell the coffee!!) and now find out CBS nukes Jericho, because they've "overloaded on serialized dramas."

For years, everyone yammered on about how every issue in life is neatly wrapped up in 30 or 60 minutes, and accuse the networks of dumbing down their content for us, and demand more challenging programming... So you suits at the nets give it to us.... and then, when we miss a week here and there, making the show drop 2% week to week in viewership.... you panic and pull the plug... and replace the show with a show that ALWAYS fares worse!!
You don't have the slightest clue what the hell you are doing... Admit it.

Go ahead and put new dumb-ass shows back on that insult our intelligence.. We have no attention span... Fans of Drive, Threshhold, and other non-typical shows should realize NBC WILL CANCEL current darling Heroes next season, when it drops more than 10%, because they are chicken shit suits... nothing more...They do NOT care about quality, they only care about numbers. You risk getting the rug pulled out from under you when you watch a series on an alphabet net... Super glue your tuner on the SCI-FI CHANNEL and USA... They stand by their shows...Yes, bring us more SKATING WITH THE CELEBRITIES...
