TVme will be a blog about what is, was and will be on television, partly commentary, partly factual reporting. A special focus will be what's on regular TV (antenna). It will also have information about the impending transition to DTV.
Saturday Nights 11:00 PM Pac. Wanda Sykes is a fantastic stand-up comedian and a very good comic actress (The New Adventures of Old Christine), and she has been the "it" girl for a couple of years. She been offered two or three failed shows before, and I admit I haven't seen her previous shows, she's not going to have any better luck here. Sykes did not deliver with the brilliance and confidence that she is known for. The show is poorly produced and started out boring. It gained a little momentum at around 11:30 - but it was too late - Saturday Night Live was on NBC and I wasn't sold during the first half hour so I switched. I am very sure thousands of viewers did exactly the same thing.

I am enjoying a new station on regular TV - PBS World. I ran into it while trying to find something to watch other than cartoons on Saturday morning. The Show "History Detectives" is on from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM. The show is very interesting. It starts with a normal person who thinks they may have an historical artifact. The "Detectives" check it out and painstakingly research the items origin with almost always successful results. It could be a book, a letter a huge clump of steel that might be a cannon from an historic war ship. Along with the journey to legitimize the item they tell an interesting story about the possible author etc. I totally recommend finding PBS World network and History Detectives.

It is my sincere desire to catch up on Frihost points as soon as possible, so any time that I have for my Frihosted website will be used to contribute to the forums instead. My issue is - that for now - I'm only on-line at my girlfriend's house, so I have to be getting along with her (which is challenging) and part of what helps us get along is my not "spending so much time on that darn thing." So you see my dilemma. And she's a real good cook.

Patrick Swayze, three time Golden Globe nominated actor and People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 1992 has succumbed to pancreatic cancer on Monday (Sept 14, 2009).
Every young girl fell in love with him in Dirty Dancing. Every woman fell in love with him in Ghost. Every guy thought he was a stud in Roadhouse and Point Blank and everyone else not mentioned above loved him in To Wong Foo with Love, Julie Newmar.
He wrote and sang on a number one hit pop song and off camera he was just a regular guy, if not a hilarious regular guy.
Looking back I have never heard anyone media or otherwise say anything disparaging about the guy.
Losing a talented gut like him sucks. Cancer sucks.
We will never forget you Dude.
