amazing Division III football finish

2 seconds to go, needing a TD to win, ball on their 40... a pass and 15 laterals later they get the win! Wild stuff!

Fall TV musings

Well, fall tv is officially upon us. Along with some of our old favorites, we've got the new shows out in full force. What is everyone watching these days? Here's what we tried the past couple weeks...

Monday

Chuck: probably my favorite new show thus far. It has already made the "season pass" list. Think "Alias" meets "Scrubs" -- a loveable dorky guy caught up in a spy story. Week 1 was funny and week 2 didn't disappoint. Hilarious line from week 2 was when the NSA doc was tapping into the secrets trapped in Chuck's mind and he begins spouting off assassination plots and, among many other things, a comment about "Oceanic flight 815 shot down by a surface-to-air..." Funny that an NBC show would make a pop culture reference to the ABC show "Lost".

Heroes: well, week one was a snoozer, but week two was better. If season one had started this way I wouldn't have kept with it. That said, you can tell this is all storyline-builder and hopefully future episodes will continue to get better. I can't help but think of Lost and how you inevitably run into some build-up episodes that force you to wait to see the good stuff. I'm intrigued to see where the Hiro and Peter storylines go. "Yuck" moments thus far -- Claire cutting off her pinky toe with scissors, and Maya's black blood eyes.

Tuesday

Wow, no show on the itinerary!

Wednesday

Bionic Woman: This may be a guilty pleasure, but I loved it and have got the season pass set up and I'm ready for more! This show is dark and the action is great. Throw your preconceived notions of it out the window, because this one isn't your 70's model! That said, I don't expect many surprises with this one, because thus far it seems pretty predictable.

Pushing Daisies: this hasn't started yet, but I've got the DVR ready to roll on it as it seems intriguing.

Thursday

The Office: Thank Goodness this show is back. I about spit up my drink when Michael ran over Meredith in the opening segment.

Friday

Moonlight: I tried this one, but the jury is still out on it for me. It was intriguing enough for a 2nd visit this Friday, but we'll see.

Numb3rs: this one isn't new and it's not critically aclaimed, but it feeds my need for a CSI / Law & Order type of show, since the rest of my schedule is packed.

Saturday

Nothing on the tv plate for Saturdays except college football and catching up with everything on our DVR!

Sunday

Sunday is another day of catching up with everything on our DVR, in between watching NFL football. Sunday nights, though, features one of my favorite shows these days -- Dexter. I already blogged about how great this show is here.

That's it for now...
