writers block
Now that the writer’s strike is over, I think it has been worse waiting for my old shows to start up again. One show that I truly miss is ‘The Office’. I was watching some old episodes on my PC last night from Season 4 and even though I had seen the episodes before I was cracking up. Like Episode 1 when Michael hit Merideth with his car to open the show. It was unexpected, which made it so much funnier. So I cannot wait for shows like this to start up again, but at least we have Sarah Connor Cronicles, Jericho & Supernatural to tide us over.
If you haven’t started watching any of these, I highly recommend all three of them. If you enjoyed the Terminator movies, then Connor Cronicles is for you. It is starting to get good after picking up speed with the first few episodes and the storyline is beginning to make sense. Start watching Jericho NOW! It always keeps you guessing with every episode (especially about Robert Hawkins). Supernatural has been a big suprise to me with brothers Dean & Sam who are ‘hunters’ of demons & ghosts. They throw a great bit of humor in the show now but still keep it suspenseful.

Jericho Returns!
I watched the Tuesday return episode last night and I must say it’s got a wierd feel. (continue reading…)
Antennae… Antennas… Whatever…
In about 13 months all analog signals will cease, what does that mean to you? It means that bunny ear antenna you have on your television set will be nothing more than nostalgia if you are currently using one. On February 17, 2009 all tv stations will cease to broadcast their analog signal, after which they will broadcast in digital only. Viewers who receive their signals through an antenna instead of cable or satellite and don’t have a digital-ready TV will have to buy a converter. Many companies are stewing over the possible demand of digital-ready TV converters, and imagining much demand over this. Amazingly to me, the Nielsen Co. estimates that 14.3 million households rely on over-the-air television broadcasts for programming.
These converter boxes are expected to cost between $40 and $70. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration is going to take requests for 2 $40 coupons per household to be used toward the purchase of these boxes. The current link for the coupon seems broken.
In my opinion this will boost the sale of Satellite television immensly for those with hunting camps or remote locations where Cable companies cannot provide installation. Stores like Circuit City & Best Buy are sure to reap the benefits from this upgrade also.
