House Call Tonight
Monday night leftovers:
Last night’s episode of “Prison Break� was a rare miss in an otherwise thrilling season (albeit if you are able to suspend all belief and logic for an hour). Everything about last night’s show was predictable from Sucre getting Michael out of trouble again to T-Bag losing his hand for the second time. For the second time! Two more episodes are left before “Break� goes on a real winter vacation.
Hey Fox Sports New England: What was going on with the audio during last night’s HD broadcast of the Celtics game? The sound kept pausing every other second. Didn’t the station have a similar problem last year? Get it together, FSNers.
Hey “Lost,� take a clue from NBC’s “Heroes,� a show that poses questions and actually answers them within a couple of episodes. We’re still glued to our televisions despite the fact that many key plot elements have been exposed. Get a clue “Lost,� you can actually answer a few questions; rather than posing millions of queries that can never possibly be explained in the show’s lifetime.
All righhhty then, let’s take a look at tonight’s TV lineup:
“Friday Night Lights,� 8 p.m., NBC. Congrats to the network for ordering a full-season of the highly acclaimed drama. NBC stuck with “The Office� when ratings weren’t so good, and look how that turned out. Pretty, pretty good.
“Standoff,� 8 p.m. Fox. I’ll be taping this one, Ron Livingston.
“House,� 9 p.m. Fox. Hopefully, House continues to get pushed around by that crazy cop.
“3 LBS,� 10 p.m. CBS. Another new medical drama. Ho-hum.
Set your DVRs for the 1 a.m. showing of “The Constant Gardener� on HBO HD. Great movie and I’ll admit it: I’m taping this because I still need to sort some things out about the complicated plot.

I think it's interesting that LOST is so gung ho on not answering too many questions just to keep you tuning in. I agree, it's getting old.
Even the new Groundhog day drama that Taye Diggs is starring in, guarantees that all your questions about the mystery of the day will officially be answered by the end of the 13 weeks. (I heard this in an ad on the radio for the show) It may still turn out to be a loser show and get cancelled before then, but at least they give you a timeline.

Blondie,
Do you plan on watching that Taye Diggs show??

Honestly... I won't miss Lost one bit. It was stinking sooo bad, and how obvious was it with the sex thing? Argh. Prison Break, I agree, was bad this week, but it's a setup show for next week. And, admit it, you were all super-excited to see T-Bag take his hand off and beat the life out of that guy with that champagne bottle! Sweet!

Prison Break is a good show but this is getting strange. Can you rip off your hand like that? C,mon now. What happened to the crazy guy?
I can't watch LOST. When a show has this many unanswered questions and cliff hangers, I lose interest. Give me a mini-series anyday. At least that will eventually have a conclusion.

I am lost with LOST. Miss a week or ten minutes and you can just forget it

I love House, but his nasty disposition is getting a little old. I think he needs a new love interest to perk things up!
