Election, what election.... does it ever end??

I watch American TV/radio quite often but can not get over the fact that they all have constant coverage of the election race, over and over. Did anyone in the US think of just having everyone vote in one week and the the election decided in one month instead of 3 years? It seems to me that the media is spearheading the coverage, telling the public they want to know instead of the other way around?? It may be the public is interested, but not me, well I'm in Toronto, Canada so that makes sence. But with CNN/Fox all they cover on the news channel is their biased accounts about the election and it gets overwhelming to me anyways. But in the meantime I think I'll change the channel, or listen to a lot more music on the satellite radio in the car. What do you think? Is the mdeia telling YOU what you want to know or do you tell them?

What's worth watching in the new fall lineup?

I'm hoping they got some half decent new shows, but I did like K-Ville on Fox last year but I think that may have been cancelled. But the Black guy with the beard is my favourite and I'm sure he will get other work, he also plays a detective on Law and Order.

And what's with the cop search lights on most American cop cars? Here in Toronto none of the cop cars have spotlights on their cars. Is it that they don't patrol at night up here?

I think it's a great tool.

Also why does the font size and family font keep going back to default everytime you write a sentence. Can I set it up so that this is my default Font?

It seems evertime I hit return on the keyboard it goes back to the default font. I guess I won't hit return, but how do you set the font to stay the same? And I'm still wondering what's worth watching in this fall lineup. Any comments would be appeciated.

American Idol final last (WED) night.....Any opinons?

I thought it was pretty good just thought the whole year they have been on air far too long. The first show should be 1 hour and then the results show half hour max. And keep it going with giving us the numbers of who won what. Add some credibility to the show and give us some trust.

thats ALL

Just some thoughts today.....

Ok I found it, the way to post a blog. Now that I'm here not sure what to say only that I'm glad I found this site it great fun. As I said earlier I watch a lot of TV so know most of the good shows that are on TV. I guess my all-time favourite is all the Law and Order shows, there's so, so many. I usually know the episode after the first few minutes, but the problem I have is I forget the ending and usually end up watching the full episode because I can't remember the ending and how they catch the bad guy.Does anyone know if that show called "CANE" has come out with a DVD of the first season? I may be in minority but I did like that show but I think it is cancelled. I love Kelsy Grammar from Frasier and that new show "BACK TO YOU" has also been cancelled but I wasn't surprised by that but he'll start something again. And what about that show I think it was KATRINA about the cops in Louisianna after the flooding. It was on Fox and I kinda liked it. Wondered if it is still in production?

I saw the first show and it wasn't the best but it's ok. I was walking downdown today near the Royal York and looked up and saw this guy at the window with a gun, and then relaized it was the actor for Flashpoint which is all being filmed in downtown Toronto. The nice thing about it is they are actually showing scenes of Toronto like the CN tower etc. which they usually try to hide. They still try to make it look like an American city but we all know it's Toronto. The other one their filming here is Fringe which will be on Fox this fall. Saw them filming a few months ago downtown.

I liked a few parts of it but the majority was just plain crap. Overall I liked the series and last nights (Tues) show was much better and only 1 hour. But is this the first time they have ever announced numbers? They did say the winner got 57% of the vote? I think they should tell us every show what the numbers are because I would like to know how close it really is, and I think most people wanna know the numbers. And now they have an accounting firm? Does that mean the rest of the season they did not have an independant accounting firm, and has anyone heard of this so-called accounting firm.... Telescope?
Sounds very suspicious to me, why did they have to tell us that there was 12 million difference in the vote?

The opening song is fabulous and the actors are great and that head guy Gary Sinese is a producer of the show too and such a cool guy. Each and every episode is such a great story with lots of immagination and when you think you have it figured out they throw in a twist which I like a lot. The overhead shots of NYC are very cool too. Despite their problems and the awfull smell when you drive into NYC it is one of the greatest cities in the world. But it has always been one of my favorite shows and I'm sure it will have a long life.

I don't know if anyone watches a show made in Canada called Corner Gas, a comedy of people living in a small town in Western Canada and I think 30 Rock got some ideas from them. When their talking about something on 30 Rock they do this "flashback" about something they are talking about, and they then show a scene from three weeks earlier when one of them did a stupid thing. I first saw that on Corner Gas. But 30 Rock is by far the best comedy on TV now and never miss an episode. I've always loved Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live and she just keeps going in 30 Rock. Well done.

I guess in all fairness it is a little sexist, and then I feel like I will never watch this again, and then they do something later in the show which makes the show one of the best. This Denny Crane is the best and a real jerk but damn does he even look good. They say he is a real jerk in real life and I believe that. just until recently he was hardly ever on one of the talk shows because they never knew what he was gonna say. The MAD COW thing has gone a little too far and I wish they would get off that but it is kinda funny. But I would say it is one of my top ten shows on TV easily.
