Gone but not forgotten…

What else is better to do at 5 a.m. then to clean out my Season Pass Manger on my TiVO box.  It’s amazing how many shows have been cancelled that I have enjoyed throughout the years but have never removed from my Season Pass Manager:

Journeyman, NBC – Cancelled Fall 2007

Scrubs, NBC – Moved to ABC and will have to make change to Season Pass

Arrested Development, Fox – Cancelled Spring 2006

NASCAR Drivers 360, FX & FSN – Cancelled 2005

The O.C., Fox – Cancelled Spring 2007

That 70’s Show, Fox – Series Finished Spring 2006

Queer Eye, Bravo – Series Finished Spring 2008

Blue Collar TV, The WB & Comedy Central, Cancelled ????

Blow Out, Bravo – Cancelled ??? Last Episode 2006?

Out of Practice, CBS – Cancelled Spring 2006

Reunion, Fox – Cancelled Fall 2005… I’m still mad that they didn’t at least finish the series and show the viewers who was involved.

E-Ring, NBC – Cancelled Spring 2006

Adam Carolla Project, TLC – Ended Fall 2005

Roush Racing: Driver X, Discovery – Ended Fall 2005

Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy, Fox – Ended 2007

NASCAR Driven To Win, Biography – Ended Spring 2006

Jericho, CBS – Cancelled Spring 2008.  What is up with these networks?  Don’t you see you had a GEM, CBS? Grrrr.

I Pity The Fool, TVLand – Cancelled/Ended, 2006… Come on, if Mr. T can’t motivate you, no one can!

Standoff, Fox – Cancelled 2007

The Class, CBS – Cancelled Spring 2007.  This was cancelled in favor of Big Bang Theory?!! Come on, CBS.

The War at Home, Fox – Cancelled Spring 2007.

It Takes a Thief, Discovery – Ended Spring 2007.

NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop, ESPN – Don’t know what happened to the series.  Easily a Rip-Off of NASCAR Drivers 360.

Hopefully now my TiVo will be happier and will be a little more zippy…

Britney to cameo on How I Met Your Mother.

According to an AP article released today, Britney Spears is “having a blast” with her cameo appearance(s) on How I Met Your Mother.

AP Story can be found here

All I can say is UGH.  Please Britney, please don’t take down my favorite show like you did your career.  I will try to give her the benefit of the doubt since it could be entertaining.   My only hope is that CBS doesn’t decide to cancel the show and that she ends up being the mother.  I don’t think I could live with that outcome!

The Land of Wii…

This month I was fortunate enough to pick up a Wii. It has been a remarkable gaming system, but accessories have been hard to find for it. I have been very careful with the Wiimote so far, but I found a site tonight that shares stories of other Wii users who have had mishaps while playing their Wii systems. It’s amazing what kind of damage could be done playing this system.  Everything from damaged TVs, hurt pets, and hurt significant others (especially girlfriends). Check out wiihaveaproblem.com!

The TiVo prayer…

Almighty TiVo

We thank you for all the gifts you have given us

The power to freeze live TV to go take a leak is nothing short of godlike.

Let’s not forget fast-forwarding through commercials.

It seems greedy to ask anything more of you

Oh magic box…

But if you malfunction and miss the Super Bowl

We will destroy you in the alley with baseball bats.

Amen.

Have I ever mentioned how much I Love the show “How I Met Your Mother”? It’s just the best show on TV, folks!

TV Nostalgia

I was excited today when my package from Amazon came. In it contained Knight Rider Season 4, which is the final season of this great series. I’ve already watched half of the first DVD and it brings back a lot of memories. KITT is made better than ever with a bunch of new goodies. Why did they ever cancel this show? I know its cheesy and it would be almost impossible for a car such as KITT to even exist. But it is a fun show to watch.
The universe will be whole once the last few seasons of Dukes Of Hazzard are released. There is just too much junk on TV these days. At least they are now on DVD so I can enjoy them any time I want. Maybe I’ll start collecting the A-Team series next. :)
