I Confess, Here’s Two Bucks

I usually stay away from the topic of religion, but apparently, the Catholic Church in the United States wants you to pay for your sins… literally. According to this news report, the Church has formally given its literal blessing to a new iPhone app that assists Catholics in the process of confession. This story is so up Bill Maher’s alley I expect it will be a topic, or at least a New Rule, on HBO’s Real Time this Friday.

Tube Review 2.7.11

Well, it has been nearly a week. I have to say my viewing got a bit side-tracked by the revolution in Egypt. I find it intriguing to watch historical events like that unfold right before me on television while also taking in how different networks and media personalities handle the situation. I wanted to take out my DVD of Live from Baghdad, which is a great HBO movie featuring Michael Keaton about how the first Iraq war really vaulted CNN into prominence in the early days of cable news. Anyway, it all led to a lot of on demand online viewing over the weekend of the prime time network programming on missed. Thank you Hulu.com.

More than Laughter on Late Late Show

I wanted to take a few moments to discuss the unique mind and personality of Craig Ferguson and the importance he places being himself instead of being locked into the typical late night television format.

Tube Review 2.1.11

Tuesday night is kind of a serious night within my television viewing. Tonight was especially so coming off watching the news coverage of Egypt and continued through the two NCIS shows on CBS, which thankfully do have some comedic moments. Shifted gears a bit for Parenthood on NBC.

Tube Review 1.31.11

Spies, lies and law is quickly becoming the theme for my Monday night television viewing. I am always conflicted when it comes to NBC. It tends to create some of the best shows, but unfortunately tends to cancel them sooner than they should far too often. It is getting to a point I find myself watching NBC shows more than the others.
