TV Newsy Bits - Saturday, February 17, 2007

Jackie's TV Newsy Bits Not really television news, but it's expected to finally get over the freezing point here in the NYC Greater Metropolitan Area. Yes! Okay, only three degrees over freezing, but it's a start. Sunny and 35... it's kind of like a tropical heat wave!

Again, it's a Saturday night full of mostly repeats, but I see that BET has The Wire on at 9 PM (unlike last week when I had to tape it at 2 AM Wednesday to catch it). Oh, I'm so into the show! It's like Homicide: Life on the Street done narcotics (and a bit rough) and is written by the same person who's responsible for Homicide.

In other TV Newsy Bits:

  • Sad news for the NYC news buffs... longtime reporter and news anchor from WNBC, Ralph Penza has died. For decades, he was the "hard-hitting" reporter exposing stories and he even had a creative edge about how he did stories from a sort of film-making angle.
  • The good people at Buddy TV have an interview with ousted castaway Erica, the latest to be voted off Survivor 14: Fiji. She credits her MySpace page for getting her on the show. Huh. The whole interview is an interesting read.
  • Remember Amy Crews from Big Brother? You know, the one who was smitten (so to say) with Marcellas Reynolds. She recently visited a chat at Jokers Updates and they have the transcript up.
  • Celebrity Spider has mild promotional spoilers for this week's Lost episode while the New York Post has an article about the show's declining ratings.
  • Anna Nicole Smith is still dead.

It was below freezing last night here in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. We're supposed to get near or below freezing temps the next two nights (Saturday and Sunday) as well.

I HATE THIS WEATHER!!!!!!! It has been below 20 since the beginning of Feb. and most nights it's in the single digits with wind chills in the minus 10 to 20 range. It MAY get up over freezing next week sometime,but will believe it when I actually see it! I would take the 48 it was in Orlando on Friday and run around in my shorts and sandals!AND we have piles of snow everywhere that are 4 feet or higher. It will be July before they melt!

Watched Mission Impossible III tonight,it was Netflix night,and caught an old Criminal Minds. I really like the girl that left,the one that played Elle. Anybody know why she left the show???
