Journeyman arrives at the end of the road

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Seriously, America, why didn’t more people watch Journeyman?? The series finale just ended and I am still in denial. I refuse to believe that this show will not return. It’s so good! Oh, but it’s not a reality show and it doesn’t involve anyone being voted off. Moreover, it contains no sex, guts, or gore, so why on Earth would anyone want to watch such a show?? I guess it’s too cerebral for the general television-viewing public. The shortage of shows like Journeyman is what keeps me from watching television, and when a show like Journeyman does come along, I should know better than to get hooked because, chances are, it’ll only get canceled. That’s what happened with another NBC drama that lured me in a few years back. Anyone remember Boomtown? It didn’t last very long and I was probably one of about seventeen loyal viewers… anyway, this sucks. What sucks even more is what’s going to be shown instead in Journeyman’s Monday 9pm slot: American Gladiators. Give me a break.

It’s over

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Today was my last day. Those of you who know what I have been doing the last 3+ months know what I’m talking about. Part of me is sad but, more than anything, I am exhausted. It will be nice to relax and reacquire free time; although, I know as soon as I let myself relax, I will probably get sick. Back to the old grindstone come Monday :-(

Save Journeyman

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007
I normally do not write reviews for movies or television shows, and this post isn't so much a review as it is a plea. Remember not too long ago I wrote about the HBO program, Rome, and about ... [Continue reading this entry]

Today is what I call a good day

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007
The Cubs won to maintain their hold on first place in the National League Central and my Michigan State Spartans stomped on the so-called "Fighting" Irish of Notre Dame to keep them winless this season. And just when I ... [Continue reading this entry]

Thoughts on Festa Italiana

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007
The long-awaited Festa Italiana has come and gone. I have mixed feelings about the event.... Friday night was a blast. The highlight had to be the Italian karaoke. When I first learned of it, I thought it would ... [Continue reading this entry]

It doesn’t please me, but…

It happened. We knew it was going to. It was inevitable. Whatever your opinion, the fact remains that Barry Bonds hit career home run number 756 last night. He is now at the top of the ... [Continue reading this entry]
