TV and Burgers

Good day my friends, We finally had the emergence last night that we have all been waiting for.  The return of Purple Kelly.  Yippee!  Oh, she is so darn cute I can hardly stand it.  We need Purple Kelly for the show to be a success this season, but more on her later.  We had a lot of fun in this episode and we should get right to it. As the tribes returned to their camps, Dan referred to himself as Teflon Dan because seemingly everything just slides right off of him.  It made me wonder if Dan would be better off if someone whacked him in the head with a Teflon pan.  How this worthless clown is still in the game is beyond me.  And speaking of clowns how about that hair on Marty?  I think he is getting to look more and more like a troll doll. We had separate reward and immunity challenges tonight and for that I was thankful.  It’s always fun to see these people try to do anything involving any sort of skill.  The reward challenge was for a trip to a working Nicaraguan

Good day my friends, Sir Griffin does not like commercials.  I do not get to see a lot of commercials thanks to the DVR.  The DVR has become the greatest invention of our time.  With the exception of live events, such as baseball and football games, I use the DVR exclusively to view my programs.  Often on Sunday afternoons while watching a game I will even pause it for 15 minutes so I can skip commercials.  But I still see plenty of commercials during games and there are basically three things advertised during games: 1. Beer 2. Cars & Trucks 3. Viagra/Cialis/Levitra Right now there are a series of commercials running for Miller Lite that just bug the crap out of me.  All the ads have the same premise. • Guy goes up to the bar and orders a light beer.  • The bartender asks him if he wants crappy light beer or Miller Lite. • Guy says he does not care. • Bartender gives him crappy beer, makes implication that he is an idiot and tells him to come back later wh

Shocking, I know!  How could they?  Shame on those naughty Glee stars!  They posed for the magazine, Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ) , in some controversial photos.  Go here to see the photos and decide for yourself.  A number of parents groups are up in arms over the photos.  The photos ARE racy!  And, a lot of kids watch the show.  Did the stars go too far?  Let me know what you think... In Shock, Lady Sophia Lasagna

Good day my friends, I love the Big Bang Theory and it is one of my favorite shows.  I love the title, the theme song, the characters, the situations and the incredible geekiness of it all.  But, I especially love Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and I really missed her last night.  I know that Kaley had an accident of some sort and due to her injuries had to be written out of a few shows (I don’t know how many) and I certainly understand that.  However, that did not stop me from missing her last night.  Add in the fact that she was never even mentioned and it kind of upset me.  As you may have guessed by now I am somewhat infatuated with Penny.  She is stunningly beautiful and has an incredible figure and sexy legs.  Yes, Penny (or Kaley) is hot.  I love the way she looks in her Cheesecake Factory uniform.  Moving on… This particular episode has left me conflicted.  As I watched it I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed it.  But when I thought about it later all I could think about was

Good day my friends, I know you are all probably very upset that there was no Survivor update after last weeks show and I must apologize for that.  However, Sir Griffin was out of town celebrating his birthday and just did not have the opportunity to write anything down.  But I am back again this week to give you all the update you so desire. What do the producers of this show have against Purple Kelly?  Why does she get virtually no screen time?  We never talk to her, we never see anyone else talk to her and we suffer.  The hottest girl you have on the show this season is being completely ignored.  I do not understand this at all.  I am begging the producers to give us more Purple Kelly! Now, what happened last night?  Well we had gimpy Dan whining and complaining about the rain, the cold and the wind.  Dan told Holly he wanted to quit.  Thus far this season we have had Holly wanting to quit, NaOnka wanting to quit and now Dan.  What is with these people?  Do they no

Good day my friends, As I have said before I am not a big fan of reality TV with the exception of Survivor and The Amazing Race.  I have never seen Dancing with the Stars so I guess I should explain why I am writing about it today.  Most of you know that I am a die hard Howard Stern fan and listen to his show daily.  Howard often talks of his fondness of this show and as I listened to his recap today I thought about the people that are considered “stars” on the show.  When I see commercials for DWTS I cannot tell which ones are the alleged stars and which are the professional dancers so I decided to go through the list of these seasons contestants and judge for myself their star quality.  For the record I had to go online and look up the cast list since I obviously had no idea who was actually on the show this season.  While I perused the cast list I did not bother to look up any of the “stars” names lest I figure out what qualifies these people to be stars.  Mind you I

Good day friends, Unbeknownst to me a new restaurant opened up on Gulf to Bay in Clearwater two months ago.  I probably had not realized it since there is so much construction going on in that area that I avoid it at all costs.  I was told of a new place called Diner 60 West and was also told they had huge portions at low prices.  Sir Griffin was sold and today I gave it a try.  I cleverly snuck in the back way to avoid the construction mess so I was pretty darn proud of myself for that. I walked in and was kind of surprised at three things: 1. It was a lot bigger inside than I imagined. 2. It did not look anything like a true diner and 3. There were a lot of chicken statues. The sign outside advertised ½ price lunches for the month of October and I was immediately intrigued.  There was a regular menu and then the special October ½ price menu.  I dove right into the ½ price offerings and was decidedly pleased with the variety of offerings.  I was fully expecting t

Good day my friends, Where is Purple Kelly?  We rarely, if ever, see her and we most certainly do not ever hear her talk.  What’s up with this?  Purple Kelly is the hottest girl on the show yet we get endless shots of Jimmy T. and his shirtless body.  Yuck!  But then again Jimmy T. is the greatest thing ever.  Just ask him and he’ll tell you.  We’ll talk more about that moron later, but right now I want to make a plea for our missing Kelly.  I am begging the producers now for more Purple Kelly! Okay, let’s get started.  We saw our Espada tribe coming back to camp after the ridiculously stupid ouster of Jimmy Johnson and the entire tribe was treated to the soothing sounds of Jimmy T.  Is he really singing?  Oh my gosh he is really singing and he is so bad I cannot even figure out song he is mutilating.  Please make him stop.  At this point I realized that Jimmy T. had to go soon.  Little did I know that he would become more and more annoying as the show progressed.  Ov

Good day my friends, As much as I dislike Mondays in general, I love TV viewing on Monday nights.  My DVR goes into overdrive for the entire prime time block.  Everything on CBS is recorded as well as Chuck on NBC and Castle on ABC.  It takes me a few days to get to them all, but it is worth it.  I always like to start with the CBS block of comedies and this year we have a new entrant:  Mike & Molly. Mike & Molly is another show from executive producer Chuck Lorre which means we get a fun vanity to card to freeze and read at the end of each episode.  Lorre also is the man behind two of my other favorite comedy programs, Two and a half Men and The Big Bang Theory.  Mike & Molly follows the story of Mike Biggs, an overweight Chicago police officer, and Molly Flynn, an overweight school teacher.  They meet cute at an overeaters anonymous meeting and he eventually asks her out.  Mike has a partner named Carl, who lives with his grandmother (unseen for the firs

Good day friends, Last night I sat down to enjoy the season premiere of Human Target that I had recorded on my trusty DVR.  To my surprise I instead had an episode of House.  House?  House sucks!  House is exactly the same every week.  Allow me to present to you each and every episode of House. Patient:  Ouch I am in pain and I am dying. House:  I work with a bunch of assholes and I don't care, but I think you have this disease. Nurse:  Doctor, she is not responding to the treatment. House:  Damn it!  I know what the problem is and we must try this experimental treatment. Hospital administrator:  No you cannot try that on a patient. House:  Oh yes I can just watch me. Patient:  I feel better. House:  I hate all of you. There, now you have seen every single episode of House and you don't have to watch it again. But back to the subject at hand and that is the delay of Human Target.  I checked online and found that the folks at Fox decided to delay the premie

NaOnka Good day my friends, I am not a big fan of reality TV.  I do not care about watching Kardashians do anything, a glorified karaoke contest or a bunch of idiots in Jersey.  In fact I only watch two shows in the reality genre:  Survivor and The Amazing Race.  I have watched both from the beginning and have not missed an episode of either.  That is one of the reasons that I find it so strange that Jimmy Johnson said that Survivor was much more difficult than he ever imagined.  I know it is difficult and I know that I would be miserable and absolutely hate it if I was there.  I’d go nuts.  Why would I do poorly on Survivor? 1. There is no way I am eating a snail. 2. I don’t eat fish of any kind. 3. I’m lazy. 4. People that are like NaOnka and Jimmy T. Has there ever been a more frightening P.E. Teacher than NaOnka?  Seriously, this woman is absolutely nuts and if I was a kid and she was my teacher I’d spend every day at school crying.  Now I was never a big fa
