Ok, so I was going to do a post entitled "10 Things Every Amazing Race Contestant Should Know", but that show ended a couple of weekends ago, so it is a moot article, at least until the fall. But that made me realize that it is season (and series) finale time once again. (Um, wasn't Thanksgiving yesterday? Where does the time go?)
So, I thought I would mention some notable shows leaving the air:
24 - After eight seven grueling days (I know the show ran for eight seasons, but this final season was not all that noteworthy...even I stopped watching), spanning several years, Jack Bauer finally gets some time off from work...at least until the movie comes out. This show started off with an amazing idea, it was a new concept, a semi-original idea even, and it was done brilliantly! It kept viewers wanting more, and even if it was convenient that SOMETHING major happened just at the end of EVERY SINGLE hour of the day, I went back week after week. Until this year. I saw about the first 10 episodes, but couldn't get into it. It may have gotten better, and I probably shouldn't judge until I have seen the rest of the episodes, but IMHO, it should have ended after it's seventh season.Heroes - Another show that probably could have gone away a lot sooner. I stopped watching it a while back, but all I hear from people are that it has gotten really bad, boring, and needs to be done already. So, while it too had a good concept, and was a different breed, it doesn't seem like it will be missed too much.Lost - Ah, what can be said about the JJ Abrams mind-twisting epic? Well, most likely, "Huh?" followed by "WTF?". Seriously though, I missed the last two seasons (I'm sensing a trend here...), and although I have been trying desperately to get caught up, with the finale being this Sunday, it is unlikely that I will make it in time. However, I will still watch the finale, because I'm sure it will not only be one of the most watched episodes,and I want to see where the crazy train finally disembarks, but, well, now that Amazing Race is over, nothing else is on Sundays...(just kidding, sheesh!) The genius executive producer behind some of our most amazing televison (Alias, Fringe, Felicity (athough I never watched that one)), as well as what I hope will be some promising new shows, certainly created a buzz with Lost, and I know that it will be missed...even though it's time to move on.I know that many other shows (iconic and not-so-much) ended this season as well, but...I can't focus on everything...well, I could, I choose not to.I would like to take some time in future posts to discuss some of the new season of shows (including the new one from JJ Abrams) as well as returning favorites...so, stay tuned for that.-- Kelly ( :
Ah, so it has been almost a year without a post...my "shiny" new Wii and "shiny" new job are neither shiny, nor new anymore...and as I read past posts, I realize that I have made this promise a few times before...in the one post I made in 2007, and the three in 2008 (one of which is about the necessity of cell phones and how we as a whole are becoming too dependent on them...funny seeing as I am now working for Sprint again...oh well, things change...and I would remove the old stagnant posts, but nah...they've got their character, and for me, it is a lesson in...well, me.So, what brings me back to the blogging world...well, I have a lot of stuff falling out of the inside of my head, and I thought it time to get it out somewhere...but this is just a short post to get me back in the swing of things...there will be many musings here in the near future, and (if you're lucky) I might even let the cat write a post or two.I don't have a whole lot to say right now, except I'm back!!!! And that I have a lot in the works...I mean, really, we're about to have an historical inauguration, the housing market is a mess, as is the economy, 24 started yesterday (with quite a bang, I might add)...the topics are limitless...So, as promised, you will see some new posts from me soon!!!-- Kelly ( :
