Simon Night on American Idol

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 27, 2010

The American Idol finale was the background soundtrack while I was studying last night. I haven’t watched the show all season, but I figured at least it would mostly be music while I crammed in more Project Management info before my test next week.

Sure, it was mostly music, but it was also mostly a big love fest and goodbye to Simon Cowell.

Review: Happy Town

Posted by Cynical Sarah on April 29, 2010

ABC has a new show that debuted this week – Happy Town. I was mildly intrigued by the previews I saw and curious to see what a TV show that Sam Neill has attached himself to would be like. (For those who don’t know, Sam Neill is the guy from Jurassic Park, and how a rugged palaeontologist was going to fit into a small town in Minnesota was beyond my imagination.)

I set the show to record on the DVR last night and fired it up this morning during the dead hour on TV when then only thing on the HD channels are Dr. Phil, Maury, Dr. Oz and things getting killed or autopsied for nature/learning shows. I guess the first good thing I can say about Happy Town is that it filled that hour of my life much better than the regular programming on TV would have.

Series Commitment Challenged

Posted by Cynical Sarah on March 5, 2010

I’m about to commit blasphemy in the eyes of many TV watchers that I know. I didn’t enjoy watching Heroes; in fact I didn’t even make it through the first season. Similarly, I really only make it though full seasons of 24 because Helper Troy enjoys the show (and because of Keifer Sutherland).
