Shows That You Just Can’t Stand To See Cancelled

Posted on November 25, 2011 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

I watch TV quite a bit with my wife.  Over the years we have noticed more and more how a show just doesn’t make it more than 1 or 2 seasons if they are lucky.  Some of the ones that we liked a lot make it even longer, but end up being killed off by the producers.

The TV show LOST was a show that kept us hanging continuously each week.  The very ending was far from what we thought.  I personally didn’t like the ending, but after that many seasons they had to put it to bed.

Another show that we loved was Vegas.  They did a good job with the show in keeping it fresh.  I never did find out why they cancelled that one.

The other one that I thought would have made it far was the Playboy Club.  This show should have been a homerun in my opinion because it had crime, and women in sexy bunny costumes.

My wife was upset with how Heroes was ended.  I never watched it, so I can’t put my two cents in.

What is your take on how TV has become?

Beautiful Weather To Work In

Posted on October 30, 2011 by JMarsden| Leave a comment

The other day we were all privelidged enough to get our first “Snow”.  Well, in my area we got a lot of rain all day, and finally at night the hail came.  Our cars got a light dusting, and that is about it.

That was told to you so you could understand this…

I started doing a job at my neighbors home.  Because of her work schedule I could only start installing her DirecTV dish.  She had an antenna, and then she had cable.  The costs of cable got out of hand.  Antennas require some maintenance if they aren’t installed correct.  Last thing I said to her before she left for work was that I was concerned that we would get some bad weather on the following day.  The next morning it was ugly.

I can assemble DirecTV dishes rather quickly.  Installing them isn’t that long of a process either.  Trying to pin a DirecTV antenna isn’t the easiest thing to do in the middle of hail, rain, and snow.  I finally got the dish perfect.  I had to go and change because I didn’t want to get her house all watered up.  This was all to help my neighbor save some money.

I wish there was a way to schedule in weather based on the type of work.

Kitchen Nightmares Amazes Me Again

Posted on September 30, 2011 by JMarsden| Leave a comment

What would you do if you went into a restaurant, and your server came over to your table with an item that looked like a phone and was doing stuff on it?  Well I know that I would be questioning the ethics that were in play.

I ask this because I just watched the most recent Kitchen Nightmares, and Chef Ramsey installed a new retail POS system into the restaurant.  In addition to that the servers were given a gadget that looked like a phone, but it was part of the system.

I love how technology has moved along, but sometimes moving technology too fast is a bad thing.
