I tried watching The Unusuals a couple of times and it didn’t seem to grab me. I think LIFE on NBC is a MUCH better show, but yet I always seem to forget about it. I wish NBC would stop changing days shows are on.

There’s no excuse for watching Idol, my friend. My GF likes the show, but I make her watch it when I am not around. LOL…BTW, she is a music teacher and HATES the guy you are talking about. She’s ready to give up on the show…..she’s learning….

I do believe no one is watching THE UNUSUALS and their ratings are proof…

I gave the show a go at it a couple of times. It did nothing for me either time. It felt too contrived and I don’t think they have the right cast in the right spots in the show…

But that’s just my take on it.

I really did give it a try!

On the other hand, I just saw my first epi of FLASHPOINT… and wow… that was fun.

Another show that got my attention was THE BEAST, but it’s not on my ratings list because I only cover the primary networks and I don’t want to have to put up list where RAW and WWE are the No 1 and 2 shows week in and week out.

‘Nuff said on that one!

In the words of a famous “pilot”, “It’s not my fault!”

My wife watches… and I happen to live in the same house with her… Coincidence? I think not!

And I’ve trained her to fast forward through most of it…
We can watch 2 hours of drabble in about 20 minutes. And it’s funny to watch the judges talk and gesture in FF. Or on my DVD recorder, sound like chipmunks in FF1 mode.

But really, this Adam Lambert guy IS good. That’s all … I’m done… tough house here. I have to be fair and give everyone a decent shake. Don’t I?

Someone flog Bruce for actually CARING about what happens on American Idol.

Game Of Thrones Update, I only have a few tidbits -

The pilot will start to be filmed in October, in Ireland.
Word on the steet is that Peter Dinklage will be playing the character of Tyrion Lannister.

I’ll start looking around and pull together the new news for either next weeks article, or a stand alone update.

Keep your eyes peeled everyone and thanks for the great question Dennis.

It’s one thing to see an actor in a different show. You think, oh, there they are, playing a different character.

For example, I watched Alessandro Juliani (Felix Gaeta from BSG) play a scientist on Smallville. It was Mr. Gaeta, with a different job… (By the way, Juliani is going to be in Riverworld on Sci Fi).

But O’loughlin was so completely different in his portrayel, that I did not realize who it was. Fortunately, I had reported it some months back that he was going to guest star and some fuzzy spark kicked in.

It was amazing. I watched a true actor portray a character, rather than an actor fulfilling a role with a slight twist on their personality…

And yes, it was a very emotional scene, watching the serial killer understand his mistake and lament about it.

I just became an admirer of the man. Wow.

And about that Slusho report, I think it is a great idea. I mean, I really enjoy reading about those “unnatural phenomenon”s in some shows and I think it would be interesting what else you could find.

Always interesting post. Great job Bruce
