HAPPY THANKSGIVING too all. I will be in Atlantic City Weds-Fri, but the VCR's are programmed. How I get out of cooking.
Jackie...that list must have taken a lot of time!!! Thank you for that.
Yes Jackie -- thank you! If you do decide to update as the next 4 weeks roll by, I will look forward to it. Did anyone see the Charlie Brown special on Monday night? Peppermint Patty sounded different :-)
And there was a Woody Allen movie -- the name of which we didn't catch, though I've seen ALL of his. Had a thanksgiving scene -- he meets a woman, introduces her to his mother in the sky, she approves and pops onto the couch. Ring a bell? Anyway, I got the warmest feeling from the two, familiar old sights and sounds going on in the abckground as I was preparing for a big Thankgiving meal I'm making for about 8 people... the holidays ARE here!
What are you doing for turkey Jackie?
Happy Thanksgiving all.
PS: Madonna tomorrow night!
You forgot to mention SURVIVOR.
And here's a little spoiler, so stop reading if you like surprises.
My TV info says the two tribes will merge in this episode.
Happy US Thanksgiving to all.
Don't forget - BUY NOTHING DAY - Friday November 24, 2006. Remember, we were not born to shop! Celebrate the fact by observing 24 hours in which you buy nothing.
I miss "Lost". I'm feeling it real bad.
"Heroes" barely fills the void.
Q-- I totally know how that feels! Have you been watching Heroes from the beginning? It really is getting good... Glad to see you back anyway.
Would something else like The Nine or Jericho scratch that Lost type itch? Didn't you say that you just recently began watching and quickly caught up on all the pervious eps on DVD? Guess it won't help to go back and watch a few of those? That helped me with Sex in the City and Sopranos. But I guess though there is a storyline in Sopranos especially, it's nothing as complex as Lost and if it's plot advancement you miss, then it might not help. :-(
I'm lost without Lost too Quistian. Prison Break was filling the void for me but it's going to be gone after next episode for a period...so there you go. I like Jerico, but it's not the same.
Jackie that is some list you've given us. I hope you have a scanner cause that's a whole lot of work. Thanks.
Delee - I hope you have a great time!
Sydney - I missed the Charlie Brown special. :-( I think the movie you're talking about is a short film contained in 'New York Stories' - three shorts from Scorsese (sp?), Coppola, and Woody Allen. His film was 'Oedipus Wrecks' - with the mother looming over the city kvetching at him. I have 'New York Stories' on VHS in my collection, but haven't watched it in years. I'll have to give it a rewatch!
As for turkey, a quiet (but satisfying) mini-feast at home. I have to work Friday, so I don't get to jet off across country or anything. But, I will relax! I was thinking of going into the city tonight to see the balloon line-up for the Macy's Parade, but it's supposed to rain, so... no go.
Anon @ 9:16 - Oh, I know Survivor! :-) But, since it's not holiday-related or a special episode, I didn't list it.
Quistian - I miss 'Lost' as well. But I'm really getting into 'Heroes.' (Save the cheerleader, save the world.) Glad to see you're hanging in on the blog despite the 'Lost' hiatus.
Meb - In a way, I cheated on the list -- some networks send me press releases of upcoming shows. I save them and skim through for the dates, then took a quick skim through actual listings for other shows. The press releases help for anything Turner Broadcasting related (TBS, TNT, CourtTV) and through my blogcritics.org stuff, I have access to other press releases. Someone at Turner got addicted to my blog during the BB7 days and they've been great at sending me screeners and press releases ever since.
Yeah, Heroes from the beginning. It *is* quite good. Jericho looks good, never seen it. Maybe I'll do a DVD run on that one. Sopranos: waiting to watch the entire season near the end, to save money on family's cable bill.
It's hard to cut back on TV. Mo' better stuff keeps coming out.
