Televisual Musings and Beyond... 12th - 19th June 2009
It’s been a busy old week this week with no time for feature writing and I don’t
want to over do my usual lazy get out clause ‘What I Learned from Watching TV this Week’ so instead here are some
musings, televisual and beyond, from the past week…

Dream of 'Californication'
You
could trawl through each of the nine hundred some channels beamed into your home through your digi-box, spend 24 hours watching
each one and you would never find a better show than the awesome ‘Californication’.
The
best show on TV right now, ‘Californication’ is consistently delivering some of the freshest, most original writing
on TV and it is a joy to behold.

What I Learned from Watching TV this Week: 30th May - 5th June 2009
It’s
been hot this week and I don’t think well in the heat, so instead of a feature, here are some more useful nuggets I
picked up from watching TV this week...

24 Season 7 Retrospective
Bank
Holiday Monday saw one of the highlights of the year hit TV screens across the country and now I’ve had a few days to
digest it all and get my emotions in check, I’m finally ready to talk about it…
…I
am of course talking about the season finale of ‘24’… What did you think I was talking about...!?

Break's Over... Sort of...
The last rites were finally read to
‘Prison Break’ this week and the life support machine was mercifully turned off.
The remnants of ‘The Fox River Eight’
and the various waifs and strays they’ve picked up along the way had been treading water for two and a half seasons
and FOX for once shitcanned a show too late..

Das Football- The road to Wembley starts here
The build up to our play off final destiny is finally reaching its climax.
This
week has been long and arduous. What began with pure excitement and expectation following the trip to Reading has slowly become
diluted by firstly nerves and then fear.
For the last few mornings I have woke with a sort of nervous paralysis that
has made me physically unable to move until all possible eventualities have vigorously run through my mind.
The dull
ache that now sits in my stomach is perhaps only comparable to the feeling a swift boot to the testicles brings.
This
is pressure and I’m only going to be watching from Block 126, row 39, seat 87.
As I sit here now words that have
flowed all season are suddenly hard to come by. I feel reluctant to write anything that may tempt fate....
Eastern Bloc Party - Eurovision 2009 Special
The
dust has now settled on another year’s Eurovision song contest and somehow a goofy violin player from Norway managed to sweep the competition
aside and set a new record for votes received.
My memory
of the night is somewhat hazy as there was quite a lot of alcohol consumed, but ever the professional, I was making notes
as the show went out to give anyone who might have missed it an idea on just what went down on one of the greatest TV nights
of the year.
Below
you will find my uncensored live thoughts from throughout the show and I will be chipping in with some post-Eurovision thoughts
as well to try and give context to some of the incoherent ramblings that I scribbled down...

Bring Back... Flipside TV
You may think that a bunch of z-list celebrities and media types sat in a poorly lit studio
watching TV sounds like a gash concept for a TV show… but you would be wrong.
Originally going out in 2003, ‘Flipside
TV’ was one of those amazing TV creations where its brilliance lay in its simplicity...

Et tu, Tony...? - Why the Writers and Producers of 24 Can Kiss My Ass.
When I was planning this week’s
blog another title I considered using was: This is Bullshit – The Story of ‘24’ Season 7, because let’s
be honest Day 7 for Jack Bauer has been a completely disjointed mish-mash...

What I Learned from Watching TV this Week - 24th April 2009
TV has more to teach us than the World’s
finest scholars, so for this reason (and the fact that I didn’t have time to write a proper feature this week) here
are a few things I learned from watching TV this week...
