TV Thoughts

A few things I've been wondering about.

1. Will Tom Welling, who is now 32 years old and plays Clark Kent in the series Smallville, ever look his age? He was 28 at one point playing a 20 year old. Impressive.

2. Will Smallville ever end? Apparently Tom Welling is contracted for a 9th and 10th season according to a co-worker who reads the rumor mills.

3. Why does network TV continually get rid of good shows? NBC cancelled the Black Donellys, which was a fantastic show about the Irish and Italian Mobs, ABC cancelled Big Shots, which had Michael Vartan from the show Alias and Dylan McDermot, who was a badass, and finally, FOX in all its stupidity hasn't decided if they are bringing back Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles yet for the fall lineup. All I know is that the Terminator show is phenomenal. It made Brian Austin Green relevant for the first time since 90210 in the mid 90's and had incredible action, acting, and story lines.

4. Speaking of Brian Austin Green, how did he ever land himself Megan Fox? She is either a huge fan of 90210 re-runs, or she is dumb. I refuse to believe someone as hot as her (and not that Olivia Wilde (formally of the Black Donellys show mentioned previously) isn't hot, but Megan Fox should have been #1 in Maxim's Hot 100) is dumb, so she must really love 90210.

5. If you aren't a Transformers fan, but you are a fan of hot chicks, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is a must see, just to see Megan Fox curving herself ever so nicely on a motorcycle. I'm stating that it will be one of the most iconic scenes that no one will ever forget. And you don't want to be the guy (or girl I suppose) who has never seen it, but pretends they have, cause trust me, if you don't start drooling while talking about it, you haven't seen it.

6. I never watched 24 until this season (thanks go to my friend Jimmy Patterson for showing me the light.) Jack Bauer is a badass who will do anything, and I mean anything (including knowingly infecting himself with an incurable bioagent to stop mass casualties), to win. Prior to the two hour season finale, I predicted to my wife that Jack Bauer was going to kill a lot of people, most of them by either snapping their neck, slitting their throat, or karate chopping their trachea. Well, Jack didn't kill a lot of people, only 3 actually, but all 3 were neck deaths in the manner previously mentioned. I'm glad the writers were on the same page as me. I might have to buy the first 6 seasons just to see Jack be a badass and kill lots of people (and even the 7th season since it was released the day after the season finale. Genius)

7. There are a lot of quality TV Shows out there right now which I will now list.
1. Friday Night Lights (the best show I've ever seen. And I mean ever.)
2. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (saved the Terminator franchise since T3 was atrocious.)
3. Lie To Me (I now profess to be a human lie detector)
4. Fringe (some crazy shit goes down and makes you wonder if it could actually happen in today's world)
5. Supernatural (A vastly underrated show. Dean, played by Jensen Ackles, is freakin' hysterical)
6. How I Met Your Mother (the only half hour tv show I watch, cause Neil Patrick Harris is the man, even though he's gay in real life)
7. Grey's Anatomy (hot lesbians now in the show with other hot chicks. Can't beat that)
8. Smallville (been around forever, but I think it's on its last leg.)
