Friday, Saturday and Stuff Waiting on my DVR

SNL

Not much too report on weekend TV viewing. I watch Saturday Night Live, which is usually good for a chuckle or two. It’s worth it mostly for the impersonations and Weekend Update (without the character interludes). I will miss Amy Poehler, and with the election over, I’m fearful that much of the funny is in the past. But we’ll see…

I gave up on SNL for awhile and Tina Fey brought me back, so I’ll stick around until it becomes too painful to even watch in the background. They surprised me with Jon Hamm (now I really can’t wait to see him on 30 Rock) so maybe they’ll surprise me again in the future.


South Park

I actually don’t even know when South Park airs because I have my DVR set to just record it whenever (in case they air older episodes that I missed), so I threw it in here to beef up this blog entry.

Actually, I don’t even have that much to write about it anyway. It’s usually a hit or miss show for me. Sometimes they are so perfectly topical with their satire and sometimes it starts with a joke that’s not funny, that becomes less funny as the episode goes along.


My Own Worst Enemy

I haven’t gotten around to watching any of this yet and I’m not sure that I ever will. It’s been cancelled and I haven’t really heard anything good about it, so I don’t know if it will be worth my time…and my DVR is approaching 90% capacity.


Life on Mars

Now this is a show I’m actually curious about, but just haven’t found the time to watch. I’ve seen some of the original British version and I didn’t love it (that’s why I haven’t finished watching it yet) but I’ve heard ok to very good things about this newer version. And I have seen Michael Imperioli’s moustache and it is quite something to behold. I’ll probably end up starting it over the next few weeks.
