Welcome

Let's face it, the TV viewing experience isn't what it used to be. With hundreds of channels, competing media (computers, game systems & heaven for bid you go to the movie - more likely you'll rent it) & and the greatest invention (I'll cut my own loaf thank you) TIVO.

Advertisers, the ones footing the bill for the hours of television that you watch, are doing everything they can to keep you watching and try to get you to think about buying their stuff.

This is important to think about. They don't care if you watch the commercials they care about ROI (return on investment) and they are finally figuring out that the landscape has changed (it's still changing but it is currently a very different place from the three network system that reigned for so long).

My blog discusses TV shows because they are still on air (and many are very good) but there are dozens of sites that will give you a recap or synopses. I want to give you a fresh take with a wider scope than most.

Enjoy!

Wednesday Night is Polygamy Night

I watch two Wednesday procedurals:
Pushing Daisies and Life(I think I already said this - sorry for repeating)

But Last night I noticed a funny coincidence both shows had investigations of men who were polygamists. OK the subject of Life was more of Bigamy than Polygamy but it's still pretty damn close!

So here's my latest idea for a network that wants to label a night.

Fox has their Action Monday with 24 and Prison Break.
CW and CBS have comedy Monday nights.
NBC has Thursday Night Comedy Done Right and they're trying to convince America that Sunday Night is football night. (I guess if the Real Housewives of Orange County say it, it must be true!)

So I think HBO should run with this. "Wednesday Night is Polygamy Night"

Not to step on any programmer's toes but you could move "Big Love" to Wednesday night and bring back two big hits to round out the night in a big experiment.

Sex in the House: The cast of Sex in the City settle down with Mr. Big as the perfect guy. The twist he's the perfect guy for all of them. Twist on the twist the girls ruin the orgy by complaining to each other while they are all in bed together.

Bada Bling-Bling: Tony Soprano brings in Dr. Melfi as a sister wife to Carmela but instead of toning Carmela down they both try to one-up one another and have a shop-off that ends with Tony seeing another shrink and having to sell the Bada Bing to cover their expenses.

Just a thought. HBO call me if you want to talk about this after the strike. (I'm not in the union but I'll stand with my brothers and sisters - not actual brothers and sisters 'cause I'm an only child but you know what I mean!)

BTW - Cheers to KT Tunstall who gave an impromptu performance for the strikers at ABC/Disney.
