    American Idol - Season 8

    This show and its reflection of the American public are further evidence that we're living in an idiocracy. That said, it is entertaining. Forgot to add that No Doubt sucked and Gwen Stefani has lost whatever voice she ever had. I can't figure out who comprises Danny Gokey's fan base...

    Saturday Night Live - Season 34

    I'd rather hear Phoenix than pretentious shlock like U2 or Coldplay.

    American Idol - Season 8

    I've been getting a huge kick out of this season. Megan is (unintenionally) hysterical. My wife does a dead-on impression of her "walking after midnight in the moonlight" line. Love it. She has an undead vibe. Scott is still there because he is blind. That's it. He's bland at best...

    How I Met Your Mother - season 4

    Harvey's Trays, the Frozen Snowshoe, and Old King Clancy. Great stuff - it took me a little while to get into this show but I'm hooked. I generally laugh out loud several times at every episode. I'm surprised to see the love that the show preceding this one about the nerds gets. I watched...

    Big Love season 3

    It took me a long while to get into this show, but this season has turned it up to '11'. Did they get new writers? The suspense and overall quality is rivaling the (good years of) Sopranos. And the casting director should get an award. Can't wait for next Sunday.

    30 Rock - Season 3 (Merged)

    Horrible episode. Just horrible. I usually like the show but the only good thing in this episode was Chris Parnell as the doctor. Is this the same show that produced such great episodes as the Rural Juror? Speaking of which, where is Ratchel Dratch? I loved her cameos.

    Dexter Season 3

    Wow. This is the rare series that forces you to recognize the talent of everyone involved, especially the writers. Can't wait for next Sunday. On an unrelated note, I hate the new HTF format.

    Californication season 2

    Love the show. I think this season has kept the quality level high. One thing though - as necessary to the show as she is, I really don't like Karen. Maybe it's the actress, I don't know. Great writing and Duchovny is always good.

    Weeds season 4

    The move from Aggrestic was a welcome and necessary change. Shane is weird and annoying, but I think he's interesting and generally is tangential to the storyline. To each his own.

    Weeds season 4

    Last few episodes were great - a return to form. Hope they keep it up.

    Weeds season 4

    Love Albert Brooks ("I'm just not sure you're mine..."). I think the writers have an opportunity to revive this show - I hope they do. As for MASH, any episode with Wayne Rogers rates among the best TV ever. After Wayne Rogers (and McLean Stevenson) left, it was a rapid downhill slide.

    Question about blu-ray audio tracks

    I have recently discovered that for blu-ray discs that do not contain a separate 5.1 DTS or DD soundtrack (i.e., blu-ray discs that contain only DTS-HD lossless or Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtracks), my system defaults to stereo and I cannot figure out how to get digital surround. Shouldn't the...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Gattaca

    That's strange - maybe it's a quirk in my processor or the disc was defective, but I could not get a 5.1 signal no matter what I did. That was the only time that happened. Glad you liked the movie (Across the Universe) - I should have known I'd hate it (my wife's idea to watch it) as I can...

    Are there any 50" or larger LCDs comparable in quality to the Kuro?

    GeorgeAB, I just read that - what a bummer. Are they focusing on alternative technologies?

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Gattaca

    This is a favorite. One question - does the lack of a DD 5.1 English mix mean that if I won't be able to listen to this one in surround sound (I connect blu-ray to preamp via coax)? I recall this happening with Across the Universe which caused me to watch it in Portugeuse (I don't speak it)...

    Are there any 50" or larger LCDs comparable in quality to the Kuro?

    Thanks for all the replies! Basically, my feelings are confirmed - LCD remains inferior to plasma based on black levels and motion blur (both issues very important to me and are the main reason I prefer watching my plasma over my lcd). That said, it sounds like LCDs are catching up re...

    Are there any 50" or larger LCDs comparable in quality to the Kuro?

    My wife has given me the go-ahead to purchase a large lcd or plasma - the purchase will be in about a year when we move from our condo into a house. I know that the Pioneer Kuro is the best flat screen on the market and I do prefer plasma to lcd based on what I've seen (I have both). If I...

    Questions about LCD Display Quality

    If you're watching only SD why on earth are you looking for a HD set? Makes no sense - SD will be around for a long time. Get a cheap CRT and you're done.

    Insignia plasma tv

    I would avoid this brand. I had an Insignia LCD a few years ago and it died after a few months. Best Buy refused to fix it and from a cost-benefit standpoint, the time I would have spent dealing with trying to get it fixed simply is far more valuable to me spent on more enjoyable things. I...
