Phineas & Ferb


I have a secret shame that is just welling up inside of me...I...MUST...SHARE.

Phineas & Ferb is awesome!

*off in the distance a cricket stridulates*

Come on, I can't be the only adult that loves to watch this show. It is extremely creative in my opinion. If you haven't seen it; the boys are on summer vacation from school, they come up with new adventures/inventions everyday, their sister tries to get them in trouble all the time, and they rock out on a regular basis.

I didn't ever think anything could fill the hole in my hear from the afternoon lineup I use to watch (Tale Spin, Tiny Toons, Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, and Rescue Rangers) but this show tops them all.

Please let me know if I'm the only one with this secret shame.

Conclusion of Eli Stone

We don't watch much TV here at the Martin household but when an outstanding show hits the airwaves, we are devout. Eli Stone is a story of a lawyer with visions that seem to guide him throughout life (mostly helping with his cases). As weird and sacrilegious as the series may sound it's the most wholesome show I've seen in a long time. It was very well written, casted, and directed. The show has been canceled and I'm assuming it's because it was not a reality show where Joe the Plumber's life is falling to pieces and America gets to watch. Gratefully the SciFi channel in the UK was able to pick up the remaining four episodes and air them to give us some closure. It was probably the best closing to a TV series I have ever seen. In the final episode Eli Stone gets to talk to his father (who died when he was young) and learn more of God's plan for us. Everything is a test!

Prison Break Season 3 Episode 11

Will they escape already. Goodness. Every episode for the past 2 or 3 months has teased with the idea of escaping. The writing has turned from magniloquent to cardboard. Maybe the writers knew the writers strike was coming and started making some horrible episodes to show who's boss. Don't get me wrong, I love Prison Break. The first season was incredible. The second season was almost as good but this season is starting to drag on. Even T-Bag is starting to act like a whimp. This week Michael's plan to escape is thwarted by, get this, rain? Michael is having a hard time with the decision to let a drug lord and a murderer/rapist loose in the free world once again.

Eli Stone Season 1 Episode 1

With the writers strike happening I thought we would be watching reruns for the rest of our lives. I'm not a fan of television but if I hear of a show that has tickled every critic pink, I will give it a shot. Eli Stone was refreshingly original. Its about a lawyer who is seeing things made up by his mind. With this being the pilot it was expected that they would bring someone very recognizable to the show. George Michael singing "faith" over and over again. My one criticism for this show is they keep eluding to Eli as a Prophet. Leave that out, please. Jonny Lee Miller is Eli Stone. You may recognize him from Hackers or Mansfield Park. I rather enjoyed this first episode and plan on giving it a shot in the future. This show is a definite must see, at least once. Plus, it looks great in High Def.
