So I was at my local breakfast burrito establishment this morning minding my own business enjoying a bacon and sausage breakfast burrito when the TV was changed to VH1 MTV and America’s Best Dance Crew was on. This really got me thinking, who actually watches this crap on these channels, and what do these shows have to do with music videos? VH1 has shows by the name of Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and Celebrity Fit Club. While MTV has the aforementioned ABDC along with My Super Sweet Sixteen, The Hills, and A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila… WTF?!?! It’s bad enough just a couple weeks ago I was kidding with Kelly regarding the recent movie Step Up 2 Takin it to the Streets Electric Boogaloo, joking how I don’t believe there is some underground sensation of dance crews here in America and this must be a joke. I mean I could just see it break down like the scene from Boy n the Hood where the guy flashes his gun and then they all break out into a perfectly choreographed dance sequence! Talk about brilliance! Was Boy n the Hood the one with the guy named Pookie? I can’t remember, maybe that was Step Up 2, hell maybe it was Step Up and Menace II Society that I’m thinking of.

I just checked my facts and Pookie was the character that Chris Rock played in New Jack City! Anyway I still can hardly believe that there are actual dance crews that fight crime on the streets with their crazy dance moves, but I guess I have to be thankful for these crews since one of the crews has been fighting the deadly blood red river streets of Irvine, CA for the past 16 years!!!! We have Kaba Modern to thank for Irvine being the 4th safest city in the US. And with that I leave you a picture of the typical Irvine, CA family.

Did anyone catch the season finale for Burn Notice?  Wow, should be a great 2nd season, but we have to wait till SUMMER!  That’s the one thing that sucks for the off season shows like Burn Notice and Eureka is that since they are summer shows you only get about 10-15 episodes and you have to wait 3/4 of a year to see the next season.  It would be neat if they did like a throwback TV Movie in the middle of him when he was a working spy before he got burned to help quell over the wait for the new season.

But with the ending of the summer season shows, that means it’s time to start the fall season shows!  Heroes starts tonight!  Won’t be able to watch it tonight though.  We are going out to The Melting Pot with some friends tonight.  We’ve been trying to go there for some time now.  I guess we will find out if it’s all we’ve heard.  We’ll even save a little money since they are in the Entertainment Guide!

Talking about TV.  The new Fall season is just about to start.  What are we watching?

Fall 2007 TV
Monday
How I Met Your Mother, it’s up there with my favorite comedies.  Kelly and I love this show.
The Big Bang, honestly I’m not happy that The Class was canceled, it really started to come into it’s own in it’s second half last season, but we will give this one a shot.
Chuck, this is an hour long show?  We’ll check it out, for the fact that the guy that played Jane on Firefly is in it, but I’m really only waiting for the next show on NBC to start…
Heroes, this became my #1 Monday night show, replacing 24, and last season if I had to choose to watch one, Heroes would have won out.  Fortunately we have Time Warner Cable DVR’s!
24, Looking forward to it starting up in January, and seeing what exactly they are changing up.
Journeyman, I’ll give it a look, but I’m guessing it won’t make it past 3-4 episodes.

Tuesday
Cavemen,…  Just kidding, I will never, ever, ever, ever watching this show, and I expect it to die miserably.
Carpoolers, would this be the first ABC comedy I watch since The Drew Carey Show ended?  Tune in to find out!
Beauty and the Geek, my only reality type show I can stand.  Hey I was a geek, some would say I still am, fortunately I’ve found my beauty… ;)
Reaper, I’ll give it a shot, since Kevin Smith’s name is on it.  But I’m not really quite sure what it’s about, I’ve been in the dark on a lot of shows this season.

Wednesday
Pushing Daises, Seems like an interesting premise, but if it’s halfway good I expect ABC to eventually cancel it.
America’s Next Top Model, this is Kelly’s show, I’ll be watching something else in the other room, actually I’ll be playing softball, but it’s interesting to see the photography, since that’s something I’m interested in.
Bionic Woman, looks kinda stupid, but I’ll check it out.  Not quite sure if it’s going to be something I really like.
Lost, on the list, but doesn’t start up till January… right?

Thursday
Big Shots, Maybe this can replace my What About Brian? fix…  It’s got Michael Vartan from Alias, so that’s a plus, and I think the geeky guy from Sports Night is in it too.
Smallville, Supergirl! Bizaro Superman! and Lex Luthor, oh my!
My Name is Earl, will Earl spend the rest of his life in prison?  Just when he was really cleaning things up.
The Office, one of the 4 best comedies on TV, and maybe one of my favorite of all time.
Scrubs, The last season of probably my favorite TV ever.  Can’t wait to see what they do.  I hear Lavern has a twin sister…

Friday, this is nothing on TV on Friday nights, it’s the night to catch up.

Saturday… hah, yeah right.

Sunday
Football, Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad, it’s a good ol American lazy Sunday.

That’s a busy weekly schedule, eh? :)
