After season three's shocking conclusion, everyone's curious what's going to happen in season four from Fringe. While information is obviously quite limited, I do know that Joshua Jackson will be back to play Peter Bishop. What Peter does and where he is still not known. The writers took quite an unusual step in the way the season ended and made Peter vanish from existence, making his character's role a little unsure. As for the room inside the Statue of Liberty, ...

After adding several channels to the local cable system earlier this month, Charter has added even more this week. I'm glad my Tivo has the pop-up screen alerting me of the new additions to the lineup. What a beautiful feature to include.

I caught the second half of last night's second season premiere of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on ABC and I really wasn't impressed. It seems Jamie Oliver doesn't have a clue what others are thinking. He's unable to see both sides of an argument, only making for a frustrating show. The bulk of the second half of the season premiere had Jamie trying to work with an independent fast food restaurant owner, Dino Perris or Patra's Burgers. Oliver wanted to ... Read More

Tuesday night was Deadliest Catch night on Discovery Channel. I've been a regular watcher of this show right from the beginning. I've seen crews come and go as the roster of boats always changes year to year. I've even see guys get seriously hurt and mourned the loss of Captain Phil Harris, by far one of the most colorful characters I've ever seen on television. Discovery elected to go with a two-hour season premiere airing and I was psyched for ... Read More

By all accounts I'm not a very big golf fan. I watched considerably more golf when Tiger Woods was playing like the Tiger Woods of old. However, this is the Masters we're talking about and I wasn't going to skip the entire four day event without watching some of golf's best. I didn't watch more than a few minutes of the first three days of the event. I caught some of the highlights on ESPN, but that was pretty much ... Read More

Merge time always brings about a nervousness among the Survivor castaways. Every year people vote one another off and then two very different tribes are forced into one, essentially bringing two groups of enemies and forcing them to live together. This Thursday, we saw nothing new in the "This Game Respects Big Moves". Ometepe and Zapatera may not be part of Murlonio, but the division is obvious. It was even discussed briefly at tribal council. To make things interesting last night, ... Read More

It isn't often that I blog about something that only affects myself and a small region, but I felt it's worth noting considering the demand for new HD channels. Cable companies are often asked to add HD channels but with bandwidth at a premium, it's often a difficult thing to do well. Bryan Cranston as Walt White on Breaking Bad My local Charter branch added a bunch of new HD channels after upgrading the network to Switched-Digital-Video (SDV), which will help in the ...

With Discovery Channel's Shark Week of programming grabbing the lion's share of publicity over the past twenty-something years, it didn't surprise me when National Geographic Channel elected to come up with Expedition Week, a special week or programming which features two premiere documentaries every night. Every couple of years Discovery's Shark Week has a bit of an off-year in terms of the quality of the lineup. This was certainly true of this past Shark Week which was pretty light on substance. ...

With Food Network gearing its network more and more for competitive cooking shows, it doesn't surprise me that they're running out of room for some shows. We've seen a few cancelled, but when I saw the horrible timeslot they're giving Good Eats, I was shocked. For Good Eats to be relegated to an 11:30pm EST timeslot, it left me with one conclusion: they're trying to kill it. Plain as day. Watching Alton Brown has been a real treat over the ... Read More

I've been a fan of Survivor since the very beginning. I remember watching either CNN or Fox News one or two years before it began airing as creator Mark Burnett told viewers all about his idea for the show and I was intrigued right from the start. I've been a relatively loyal viewer for all these years, even through the truly awful seasons. I've missed an episode here and there, but I'd estimate I've seen approximately 98% of the shows and ...
