The new television season: Casualty one

Jenn last night as we were watching The War at Home on TiVo last night: “DELETE THIS.”

The first episodes of Threshold and Supernatural were pretty good, though, as was the season opener of Medium.

“Everything to Me” video

The video for “Everything to Me,” the first single off of Liz Phair’s new album, Somebody’s Miracle, is now at Yahoo! Music.

(Exasperatingly, it doesn’t seem to work with Firefox. This is what I keep Internet Explorer around for: those once a month instances where a site only seems to work with IE.)

CMT: The Greatest 40 Drinking Songs

CMT has a list of the top drinking songs of all time. Despite normally being very country music phobic, my fraternity played a pretty astonishing number of those (of those that were out at the time) when I was in college. I don’t think there was a party where we didn’t hear “Family Tradition” or “Friends in Low Places,” even if it was mixed in with 2 Live Crew.

“I don’t like this, but I’m not changing the channel.”

This is just annoying:

Four out of five Americans say they think too many reality shows are on the air, according to an AP–TV Guide poll. Only 4 percent of respondents said there were not enough.

Half of Americans believe there are too many crime shows on television. The longtime staple of TV dramas has proliferated with the success of franchises such as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Law & Order.”

Guys, change the freaking channels. There’s 72 different Law & Order shows because people keep watching them. Ditto reality shows — if you weren’t giggling over Donald Trump firing people all the last two years, we wouldn’t have Martha Stewart doing the same thing this year.

Of all the new shows introduced last year, “CSI: New York” has the most people looking forward to its return. “Desperate Housewives,” twice as popular with women as it is with men, came in second.

OK, now people are just making stuff up. As much as I wanted to like it, the NYC CSI is almost unwatchable.

As my mother used to always ask me, when I was watching a show I didn’t like, are your arms broken, people?

iHonda

In a sinister attempt to keep me buying nothing but Hondas the rest of my life, Apple Computers has announced that, starting later this year, Hondas (along with Acuras, Audis and Volkswagens) will feature iPod integration with their cars.

To date, I have owned four Honda Civics, all used but the latest one, ranging from a 1979 to my current 1999. My one flirtation with another car company ended poorly, and we will speak of it no more.
