    Criminal Minds Season Finale, 5/20/09

    Since I couldn't find any threads regarding this season's shows, I would like to ask if anyone else saw the finale last night, May 20. In the final scene, was that a dream or was there really a shot fired?

    Had to sign up as a new customer at DeepDiscount

    I had been a customer at DeepDiscount for at least five years, but I placed an order on June 23 and there was no record of my account. It had been over six months since I had placed my last order. I can't believe they purge customer accounts after only six months of inactivity. Has this happened...

    What's up with Amazon.com look?

    Is it me or has Amazon.com gone to a text type of home page? The only graphics I see is the words Amazon.com. This home page looks just like websites in the days before people had computers that could handle graphics. So is this just me, or are others seeing this as well?

    I got the 55" SXRD Sony Tv a week ago Monday, October 30. I have been having problems adjusting my eyes to this set. I am sitting 12 feet away from the set, which seems to be an adequate distance for this size, isn't it. I have upgraded from a 31" CRT, which also may be a source of the...

    Wife and TV shopping

    Our 10-12 year old 31" CRT is about to go out, so I started to do some preliminary shopping for a new HDTV. I saw a Sony 50" SXRD locally at a pretty good price. I took my wife to see the TV today and she says to me, I don't know if 50" is big enough. It was music to my ears. Of course, she...

    Men in Trees ongoing thread

    Did anyone catch this last night (Tuesday). It is pretty much a women's version of Northern Exposure. The show will normally be shown on Friday. I will probably give it a couple of more looks. It's nice to see John Amos back on TV.

    Anyone catch State of Play on BBC America?

    BBC America showed a 6 episode marathon of this series, Sunday, October 30. It was very good. I had to tape the last four hours while I went out on Sunday, but came back home and stayed up until 1:00 am watching it to the end. I really enjoy British dramas. They are slower paced than American...
