Tivoed.

Watched Lone Star and it might be alright.  Better than the Hawaii 5-0 pilot, but I'm not sold yet.

Yeah. I'll give it a couple more episodes. We all owe it to Hurwitz to keep this one on the air for awhile.

Nobody owes Hurwitz anything unless he makes an Arrested Development movie, in which case we all owe him the price of a movie ticket and our butts in the seats. He got three seasons out of a show that was lucky to get a full order for one in the first place.

I liked Running Wilde. It's not AD right now, but it's funny. "I'll go get my thing," is a great line and Peter Sera-I-played-Darth-Maul was super funny.
Check out my blog of many topics

ESPN 30 For 30: One Night In Vegas.

Another impressive documentary in this series, following on from 'The Two Escobars', 'Straight Outta LA' and 'Jordan Rides The Bus'. This one follows the friendship between boxer Mike Tyson and rapper Tupac, upto Tyson's fight in Vegas September 1996 and the drive by shooting which would eventually claim Tupac's life. It features interviews with Tyson himself and a slightly incoherent (isn't he always), but well tailored Mickey Rourke.

Hopefully 'Winning Time: Reggie Vs The Knicks' will be shown soon.

I don't know. That last show he did, the animated one, was an unbelievable piece of shit, made more painful by the fact that I loved almost every one of the voice actors. I'm also probably in the minority of people that love Arrested but really am not excited about a potential movie.

I love Will Arnett, but Peter Serafinowicz is one of the funniest people on Earth. He deserves to have a big following in the US.

Thought this one was pretty disappointing. I liked the comic book approach but I feel like it really could've gone so much deeper exploring the link between the two. Also wasn't a fan of the spoken word dudes.

Who's pumped for Outsourced tonight?!?

That was my one thought. I could have/should have been 90 minutes, rather than 60 minutes or so.
