libbo likes to watch

libbo, being the nickname somebody gave to my libido (might have been me too) long ago with some influence from the marx brothers and the animaniacs (libbo is attracted to a sense of humour that finds them amusing, along with monty python and robin williams, at least), sometimes wakes up when glancing up al the tv and on lost girl i noticed emmanuelle vaugier and she was instantly was added to libboland (the online place where libbo keeps track of attractions... you'll just have to find a link to it elsewhere in my written gardens cuz this is background tv, after all... did i mention libbo likes to tease?)... anyway, i thought to myself, wow, how did i miss her over the years (she's been on tv for more than a decade in shows i've occasionally glanced at... now i want to rent some of her films, hysteria, for instance... nudity attracts libbo too when it's the right person)...

and then there's the olympics and that's probably going to be the predominent background tv for the next two weeks because jackson loves it and i enjoy it too... once upon a time i watched the entire olympics... i was very close to elvis that year, but that's another story... anyway, i was watching one of the commercials and have i mentioned just how adorably attractive sean johnson's face is?... as old people used to say about babies, i could eat her up... i wonder if those old people ever realized just how much double entendre is in that phrase... hopefully sean johnson doesn't mind that she's libbos favorite gymnast (and libbo loves gymnasts)...

you might think that the two looks and personalities mentioned here are far apart and perhaps they are in some ways, but for libbo, both possess the qualities for arousal... no wonder i have not found anybody nearby who moves libbo to want to share wild passionate sex or cuddling, even... even if porn was on tv, porn leaves much to be desired... there is a lot on tv that libbo likes to watch... in fact, most of my favorite shows have something or someone for libbo to enjoy, not just physical (faces, bodies, etc) but humor too (i mentioned that above in case you didn't notice... a bit of understated sarcasm does it for libbo too, by the way)... but libbo isn't always sure of what libbo likes, for instance libbo looks at the little chinese girl lifting more than twice her body weight and doesn't know what to think... anyway, one of these days maybe i'll tell you more about libbo, but for now, i'll keep glancing up at the tv for amusement, arousal, and assorted odd distractions...

how about you? :)

oh no, not bones

one of the most rational shows out there, one of the few shows with an atheist main character, and in one of the most critical episodes they go right for the jugular mimicking the biblical birth of jesus story - how could they destroy the character development so much in one simple episode?...

the story line was as stupid as stupid can get what with bones walking through a prison accusing people of all sorts of things while present and in the climax, walking through a prison cafeteria riot shouting out an accusation that one of the prisoners murdered another while the prisoners held back booth (other main character) and then, not ridiculous enough, she goes into labor as she is stepping over prisoners who are laying on the ground because the guards pulled their guns to quell the riot and that is just the set up for the next ridiculous manipulative pandering...

on the way to the nearest hospital, ten miles before getting there (so less than 10 minutes away) they stop at an inn, yes, an inn (was that brennen's inn?) and the inn is full, yes, the inn is full, but the stable behind the inn is available and the baby is born without any assistance, no one from the inn calls the hospital less than 10 minutes away, and not even booth (who was arguing the whole show for medical care at birth while bones was insisting on having the baby without medical care at home) calls the hospital and wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles, all is well...

next scene they are home, bones carrying the baby as if she didn't just give birth in a stable, and there's a surprise party... somehow the baby was cleaned up, cord cut, afterbirth cleaned up, and so on... absolutely amazing how this episode betrayed the character and theme of the show with such a far fetch, illogical, and irrational series of decisions, reactions, and coincidences...

but i suppose that's the leap of faith mentality that overrides logic and good consistent creativity, storyline, character development, and professionalism... so disappointing... so sad...

another show takes a nose dive off my list of top shows...

sigh, are we laughing yet?...

ok, so don't just take my word for it... a quick search reflects audience reaction... initially the tv news wrongly reported higher ratings when the actual audience share went down for that show and has been dropping since the show to the lowest (about 20% the previous 6 year average)... the episode synopsis tries to paint the show in a positive light, but looking at the comments from actual fans (as opposed to professionals paid to support the telivision industry), the fan response was not good which actually reflects the actual lower audience share...

.....

Epilogue:
ready for this?... i suppose it is a sign from jesus himself that the next show i found scanning the tv was angels and aliens, which combines not only accepting the bible as actual historical events and using it as evidence of alien visitation... robert klein sounds now as we collectively chant: 33rd parallel, 33rd parallel, 33rd parallel...

ok, taking the concept seriously for a moment... hey, if aliens were the source of the bible and they watched the reactions of the human beings they visited, i'd have given up on humanity for a while too... at least until the collective mental illnesses (paranoia, delusions, add, etc) and ignorant knee-jerk hostility subsided a bit...

human minds are amazing in their creativity to prove what they want to believe i find it sadly amusing (at least i am not offended, aye? :)

sports galore

it's been a high volume playoff sports season for a couple of months now and as it comes to it's conclusion, i ponder the relative addiction that so many have to watching others play physical games and wonder why so few actually play... not that everyone is so athletic, but almost everyone can run around and learn some skills to achieve some measure of proficiency in some, if not many sports... but the vast majority of people would rather pay huge amounts to a few rather spoiled, minimally educated, and quite elite athletes who, in recent years, seem to focus on egocentric individual performances and money rather than good team efforts, fan concern, and good sportsmanship... so i turn on some amateur sports to remember a bit of what sports is about, a bit because so many amateur sports are not team sports, but still, at least some (we can hope most) amateurs are striving for best team performance and not just money and ego first... of course if you know me at all, then you know that i view most everything from a rather different perspective... and then, as i watched girls gymnastics, i started wondering if girls gymnastics was developed by men who wanted to watch young girls flex their gluteus maximus muscles while secretly hoping for some virgin camel toes and mumblers (we won't ponder why men want to coach the sport then, oh come on now)...

and now for something completely different...

bad sci-fi

bad acting and worse writing has occupied the tv for the last hour or few... sci-fi channel movies can be so very terribly put together... i guess sci-fi fans in general have low critical standard or this station would never survive... cliche's like teenagers will save the world... there must be boy girl, cute and without excess body fat, of course... and clothing partially torn off whenever possible... and each have a parent lost and alone who fall in love with each other after the kids save them, naturally (or else we need the estranged parents who are brought back together in the end)... and this is especially good with brilliant misunderstood kids in trouble or in school detention cuz you've got to disregard rules and break stuff to save the world, right?... i mean, you really must be ready for the next extinction level event, right?... fear-based everything attracts most humans i suppose... i prefer hitchhiker's guide walkabouts and the less violent alternative perspective sci-fi found in some of heinlein, bradbury, and asimov, personally... but they did not need contorted reasoning and ridiculously illogical events to set up momentary visual effects (usually unnecessary and often that have nothing to do with the story) and actually had imaginations... for me, tv sci-fi (syfy, now) is a bit of eye candy in the background and an occasional interesting idea put into a story... tonight bad sci-fi distracts me from foot pain that keeps me stuck sitting here... elevate, ice, rest, bad sci-fi...

would rather play with you :)

dead navy guy

anyone who watches a certain tv show knows exactly what i mean and for better or worse, the obviousness of the opening of almost every show ought to make this show boring as hell, but i love the characters so much, i tune in whenever i can anyway... even if ziva did put on a few pounds...

yeah, i mean ncis...

meanwhile, i've been skipping idol the last few weeks and don't really miss it, but would watch if i remembered and was home or awake or whatever, especially if it was a shared experience, but that's personal and not background tv, now isn't it?... i have watched the ncaa tournament when i've been home and awake and remembering... surprises there, even if nobody is sharing these days... what?... i miss caprica, and that's not just libido talking... in fact, not much libido at that...

yeah, i mean g'nite :)

saturday night crisis

none these days as i am usually out somewhere away from a tv on saturday nights and i don't think there's anything i feel like i'm missing...

pity, i know... snurkle :)

sunday night crisis

none at the moment, thought sunday night football and the simpsons and other fox toon shows are on, i am often drifting away from tv on sunday nights... s'pose it's a good night for catching up on reruns and on-demand stuff...

yeah, i know, boring without all the conflicts and crisises... i'll try to make it more exciting in the future, m'ok? :)

friday night crisis

there used to be friday night crisises, but i don't have easy access to the friday night listings at the moment so this post will be like a kind of placeholder (as the others may be as well)... i recall dollhouse on fridays and there was eureka until this week and there is haven for the moment, but the other shows are not coming to mind so alas, no great dramatic crisis for fridays for now...

stay tuned, or something like that (snurf :)

thursday night crisis

not much to say, with american idol and so you think you can dance gone for now, there's just one show i want to watch on thursdays and that is fringe, though the mentalist used to appeal to me (and i am not sure what replaced it, probably something jackson chooses when we watch on thursdays, but there is thursday night football that takes me away most thursday nights so i will have to catch fringe in on-demand reruns)... and then, there is football season to consider as they hand thursdasy night games on quite often... but that's all thursday night offers for now and i'd rather be playing softball :)

wednesday night crisis

apparently i watch master chef on wednesday nights when i am home and in the living room cuz jackson (and pollack) really like the show and there's nothing else on i am interested in at this point in the tv year... there is a cute young cook on the show i would not mind in my kitchen (what?... i love to eat good food... whatcha think?)...

i'll let you know if the drama of crisis comes to wednesday night in the future, but without american idol or so you think you can dance (which is one of jackson's favorites) and nothing on sci-fi, wednesday nights are kind of dull in terms of critical decisions between tv shows... sigh, alas, we can't have a crisis every night i suppose (snarkle :)

monday night crisis

there used to be heroes on mondays opposite other shows i liked so i have not watched heroes in a couple of seasons, but at the moment the listings for this week do not show the monday night crisis of television that i seem to recall (can we get any more ambivalently dramatic?... whistful must be next, no doubt)... as it stands, there's the closer and rizzoli & ilses which jackson really likes, so that's what we watch cuz even though the lead character in the closer has a personality i would aboid like the plague in real life, i like to share shows and am learning to enjoy the storylines and rizzoli & isles is one i might watch on my own, say in one of the the reruns lists (what?... no sci-fi on mondays?... there was, i swear, and it was why i stopped watching heroes once upon a time... or wait, maybe that was 24... and there is monday night football know and then, cha know... my aged swiss cheese memory is so much fun :)

there is lie to me which i used to watch now and then and i would like to catch in reruns, so there's a bit of crisis for us... stay tuned for the next episode of the monday night crisises, aye? (snarf :)

tuesday night crisis

ah, the sarcasm in the title bleeds tears of irony, or something like that... so there we are, shows on tuesday nights that i would probably watch if they weren't on opposite each other and i actually had a hundred hours each day to do all i'd like to do each day... in no particular order at the moment, there's warehouse 13, ncis, and glee and returning for the fall season (probablly bumping warehouse 13 until next season), caprica and star trek: universe (further crossing the same time-space continuum as ncis and glee...

what to do, what to do (snark :)

probably similar crisises (crisises?) on other nights if i research the tv guide, so stay tuned for the dramatic series of nightly tv crisises as the tv blog returns to life for however long it lasts this time, aye? :)

fascinated, no doubt

while i am watching tv with half an eye and listening with half an ear and even watching with almost both eyes and listening with both ears more often than i have in a long time because my roommate enjoys tv and i enjoy watching with someone (but we both often are somewhere else on the computers or on the phone during even the shows we both enjoy just the same), i a still only sitting in front of the tv for an hour at most before 11pm and catching up on the shows on the (if i can find time) list when i stay up past midnight and find them on the on-demand channels... i do watch more since re-installing cable, so i'll make a note to myself to find time to come here to relate whatever the tv might inspire in me cuz that's what this blog is about and it exists to continue, not to end in forgotten obscurity... i mean, in case anybody other than me wondered, aye? (smirk snicker nyuk narf)...

watching, not much

though the tv is on a lot, i am not watching much except to glance up and sort of follow the re-runs listed in catching up on the revised lists on the left... though this week i caught the first new episodes of eureka and warehouse 13 and will probably catch those in first run cuz they are on at least a half dozen times a week and in free on-demand... i don't stay awake for craig as much, but can find him on youtube... wonder if he is on free on-demand too... actually, i am watching/listening to audio and video on youtube a lot more than on tv... anyway, since you are so fascinated by my tv viewing habits (is your name neilson?), i've revised the lists on the right and continue reporting just for you... and for me too, posterity, and the one, but until they get here it's just for you :)

take it to the limit one more time

that's what 24 seems to be gearing up to do... won't be surprised to see waterboarding and all sorts of tortures before the end... they can justify it with some logic like exposing the american people to the reality of what our government does in our name under the guise of protecting us might wake people up to the inhumanity we allow and support and cheer on while simultaneously condemning others for doing the same...

just watch the news with your mind open if you need more proof...

besides, it's fox, so they've got to made the bleeding heart liberals look bad, pathetic, even corrupt... will jack shake them all up by the end of the show?... will the show shake all of us up?... what sort of surprise is in store?...

yawn, pass the chocolate :)

commercials

are switching to geico commercials getting more and more stupid?

what do we expect?

with a theme song that includes you can always sleep through work tomorrow (which he co-wrote and even sings himself) the brilliance of craig ferguson's manipulation of nocturnal and closet rebel america with cute puppetry and clever irony and sophmoric fart jokes and best-friend secret winks, double-entendre smirks, intimate collective conversations with the audience, mocking sensuality, and are you serious? mugging at the camera all the while slipping subtrifuge in the way of intelligent incites disguised as irreverent sarcasm and comedy (which includes his nightly it's a great day for america everybody, naturally) and the sense of belonging and agreeing in his coyly pleading i know, we agree to be mocked as he mocks himself and forget how late it is...

or maybe i'm his only viewer?
