"Parenthood" Episode "Rubber Band Ball"

I just got around to watching the latest episode and I have NEVER gotten SO pissed off SO fast at a character. I'm talking about Sarah (Lauren Graham) finding her daughter and her scumbag boyfriend in the shower.

I would have had his ass in jail so fast he would have thought the cops were parked in the driveway! And the daughter (who all of a sudden I hate again) would have been locked in the attic until she was eighteen.

But NO. Sarah lets her daughter turn things around and make HER feel guilty.

So when the dad (Craig Nelson) confronts the scumbag boyfriend all he does is try to bribe him instead of scaring the shit out of him. So Scumbag comes BACK and Sarah acts like she's the one who did something wrong! And she STILL lets the daughter go out with him!

I'm REALLY starting to dislike Sarah. Grow a pair or put your daughter up for adoption!

Fortunately, one OnDemand feature is the ability to fast forward, so I don't have to suffer through that wasteful Crosley/Crosby/ Dax crappola.

The thing with Dad and Adam was okay. And even the scenes between the two wives about Max and the gifted daughter I didn't mind.

If things don't get better in the next week or two there are two other shows on at the same time -- "V" and "The Good Wife" that are SO much, better I can watch.

Pedophile Priests

Can't help but read and hear about all the Catholic priests being accused of child molestation. I can't recall ever hearing about the Baptist, Protestant, Methodist, etc. ministers being accused.

So why just Catholics? Well, they are the only ones not allowed to get married. Maybe if they were allowed to have wives, then they would have a legitimate outlet for their sexual urges.

I'm sure none of them became priests just to have access to the alter boys and other young boys (I don't recall any girls complaining about being molested, but I could be wrong), so it must be the marriage restriction the Catholic church imposes on them.

Just a thought.

Time to Chuck "Chuck"

.
What I mean is that it's time to find another show to follow instead of "Chuck." For two seasons I watched the show and really enjoyed it, but for some reason, this season hasn't been particularly interesting.

EXCEPT when the gorgeous Kristin Kreuk (http://daviderl.com/KristinKreuk.html) joined the cast for a half dozen or so episodes. But once she left, the interest left with her.

I tried watching the latest episode where Chuck is now officially a spy and is being transferred to Rome. But he wants to get Sarah on his team even though she is with somebody else (played by Brandon Routh of Superman fame). And I lost interest when Casey, Awesome and his best friend decided to get Sarah and Chuck back together.

This just was NOT interesting. Maybe I'll give it another shot next week, but I'm not holding my breath that it will get better!

Going to Hell -- Not So Bad?

Basically, I'm an atheist, but religion and God are pretty much so ingrained into everyday life, that one can't help thinking about stuff.

And one thing I was thinking about is the concept of going to Hell for being bad (lying, stealing, fornication, murder, child molestation). And I got to wondering -- Why would Satan punish people for doing his work (being evil)? Isn't that like God punishing priests and rabbis for doing his work (doing good)?

So it seems to me that it must be God who is in control of Hell, and not Satan. Which must mean that either there is no Satan, or God and Satan are one in the same.

Or there is no God and no Satan at all.

How To Stop A Car When The Gas Pedal Sticks

The last few weeks there have been news stories about Toytotas and Priuses having problems with the gas pedals sticking and the drivers are unable to stop the cars.

They are joking, right? They really have NO idea what to do when the car is going too fast for the brakes to work??

Well, I have two SURE FIRE ways to stop the car.

#1. Put the car in neutral! Sure, the motor will still be racing, so then go to #2 .

#2. Turn the fucking key OFF ! !! !!! Yeah, the power brakes will no longer be powered, but all it takes is more pressure on the brake pedal and the car WILL STOP!

I know there are stupid people in this world, but surely they know that using neutral, or turning off the key, will let the brakes stop the car. And if they don't, then they DON'T need to be behind the wheel!

Winter Olympics

First of all, let me say that as far as sports is concerned -- I have little to no interest. Don't care about football, don't care about baseball, hate basketball, etc., etc.

And now the stupid winter Olympics are screwing up television programming for the next two weeks. It seems like almost all the other stations feel they have to air reruns because they think the entire television viewing audience will not be watching their shows.

Well, they are wrong. The only thing I won't be watching are the Olympics. (And I would bet I'm not the only one who feels this way.)

But if I was going to watch, the only event I would tune in for would be Women's Figure Skating, but ONLY if the women wore thong panties under those short skirts. THAT would be the only thing that could possibly save one of the most BORING things ever shown on TV -- ice skating!!

Jay Leno - Uninteresting Guests

Jay Leno is off the air until he re-takes over the Tonight Show on March 1st. And except for catching parts of his opening monologs, I never watched his show, mainly, because there was never anyone on that I really wanted to see.

And who would I have liked to have seen? Well, Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls); Lucy Lawless, Renée O'Connor, Hudson Leick (Xena: Warrior Princess); Shiri Appleby (Roswell and Life Unexpected); Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance (Smallville); Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Alyson Hannigan, Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer); Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars).

Well, I guess you get the picture. If any of the above lovely ladies had been on his show, I would have tuned for sure. As it was, no one he had on his show really piqued my interest.
