That’s quite the combo. Especially at your back in a dark alley.

In football betting early in the week there is a release of odds for the game.
Those odds may change as the week goes on depending on injuries, sudden team changes, etc.
Tonight is debut night. New TV.
We watched the debut of “How I Met Your Mother”
A good episode that rocked in the last two minutes with a simple web site.
Then we figured we’d try “Big Bang Theory”… I’d read a review or two and the reviews sounded like there was promise. This surprised me since it’s from the people that brought us “Two and a half men”. This is the show that makes us forget that Charlie Sheen at one time could do Funny.
After a few commercials I decided it might make it half a season.
Please note the show started at 8:30 and I’m posting at 8:40. That’s right.
6 minutes. After 5 minutes I looked at shimmeringjemmy and said, “4 episodes and it’s gone”
After 6 we were tuned into NBC awaiting Heroes.
Now of course… I’m not a TV executive. I’m an idiot who would have kept “Farscape”, “Wonderfalls”, and “Firefly”… but then again… what do I know about what Geeks/Nerds are really like. This may yet become the linchpin of CBS’s laugh-a-million Mondays.
But I really hope not.
I’m not even going to explain what was wrong with the show.. becuase I’d have to remember too much of it as there was absolutely nothing ‘right’ with it.
But then again.. I might just be sugar coating my reaction.
I’m not… But I figured.. i should let you give me the benefit of the doubt.
My bet is that BBT is off the “Eye” within 4 weeks.
I like Family Guy… A lot.
But that being said.. the show just went up to another level with their season premier.
A Family Guy retelling of “Star Wars” and they nailed it. And by nailed it, I mean picking on almost every pet peeve that you’ve had about the film. And probably some you never really noticed.
With so many references (I will never be able to look at hyperspace without laughing ever again).. with more real voices than you’d expect.
This was an amazing episode. I will be getting it on DVD when released.
Wow.
When I was in high school, I did very well on the SAT.
I unfortunately did well because the questions were ‘coded’.
What this meant was that you could solve some style of questions without knowing the answer.
Here’s an example I came across tonight on facebook:
In Stargate-SG1, What was the SGC designation for the Goa’uld homeworld?
- P3X-932
- P3X-888
- P3Z-888
- P6Y-888
I have no idea what the answer is. But I can guess it.
Below the cut is why I guessed it and how to get this type of question right almost every time.
This a certainly a spoiler if you are not caught up on series three of the new Doctor Who, as per it’s American schedule.
If you’re caught up and are confused about the new character…
Behind the cut if a nifty primer someone did on YouTube.
