TV recap rundown random thoughts thing post

Ugh, haven't posted in a while, work's kept me pinned down. But I thought I would mention a few items on the TV front. Not really sure why, maybe it's because I had a lot of TV catching-up to do after being gone for a week on vacation.

* I'm really liking 24 this season. Lots of good twists and last-instant turns. It worried me for a while to hear that the producer of the show might really buy into some of the right-wing fantasies of the show (e.g. torture is always reliable, so what if freedoms are being infringed, etc.), but in general they do seem to not make the show be too harsh in either direction. I hate to agree with Rush Limbaugh of all people, but hey, it's just a show.

* How is it that Paulina Porizkova and Leeza Gibbons have been booted from Dancing with the Stars, yet Clyde Drexler and John Ratzenberger are still on? I mean, I disliked the Miss USA chick that got booted, but still, she was better than those two guys in a heartbeat.

* In other Dancing thoughts, Cheryl Burke must NEVER wear hair extensions again. She looked silly. And Apolo's partner, Julianne Hough, is insanely cute. Oh oh, she's from Salt Lake City and has 10 siblings. Guess we know who's voting for Mitt Romney...

* I'm enjoying 30 Rock more and more. Yes, I think Tina Fey is cute, but the show is funny and current (I liked their recent Mitt Romney reference, wow, and here I am making two Romney references in the same post), and Alec Baldwin is hilarious in it.

* Lost is still dead to me. I'm still recording it but I haven't watched it in months. I read the synopses on ABC's website instead. Much more efficient.

I thought Cheryl looked good with the long hair.

As for Leeza and Paulina being out on Dancing with the Stars... Leeza should have been the first to go. She just had no flair for the ballroom dances. Everything looked stiff and wooden. Paulina on the other other hand was much better than Shandi Finnersy and was much better to listen to than any of those who have gone. On the other hand John Ratzenberger is not as bad as of them, but I doubt he will be in the final three.

Clyde should have been gone this week, but I suppose there are too many husbands out there who are voting to spite their wives. Laila Ali is good, but her partner seems to want to sabtoge them.
