Survivor: China

So I was bracing myself for another mediocre episode of Survivor. However, it was not mediocre at all!!! Survivor: China is really good! I am actually going to watch this season. I have not watched a full season since the first one. Normally I get bored. But this one is going to be sooo good. Plus, I hears Jeff Probst say on some show that this year the contestants get to kidnap people from the other tribe!! This will no doubt supply tons of material for The Soup.

The Upcoming TV Season

Our DVR is going to be going nuts with the upcoming TV season. In addition to the shows we already watch (Regis and Kelly, Ellen, E! News, Nancy Grace, The Soup, Best Week Ever, Samantha Brown and lots of home shopping) it is going to get packed with all the new episodes. Our current plan is to watch the following shows: The Office, Desperate Housewives, LOST (not till February booo), Pushing Up Daisies, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Survivor: China, The Amazing Race, Project Runway, and probably a lot of other stuff I can't think of right now. The point is that our DVR is going to be busting at the seams!! I think that we should get another DVR. One of the perks of homeschooling is lots of time to watch tv...but it is a curse for the DVR.

P.S. If someone reading this does not have a DVR or Tivo or a similar device, go get one right now. Seriously, get in the car and go buy one right now.

P.P.S. Comcast is a stupid name. I miss Time Warner.

24

We finished season 5 and are now watching season 1 of 24 (we started with season 2...). Season 6 does not come out on dvd for a while. I am hoping that season 1 will be able to give us enough of a fix so we don't have to resort to buying the entire 6th season on iTunes.

24

So we finished the fourth season of 24 over the holiday weekend. We could not wait for our Netflix so we had to buy the end of the season on iTunes. Season four was, like all seasons of 24, amazing. We had season five next on our Netflix queue...but could not wait for the first disc to arrive. So we bought the first four episodes on iTunes. We are addicted. We need to go to 24 Addicts Anonymous. Anywhoo, season five is so far the most amazing yet. Seriously, everyone reading this right now go start watching 24. I cannot express just how amazing it is!

So after we have watched all the 24 there is on dvd to watch, what should we watch next? What should our new obsession be until LOST comes back in February? Please write a comment with a suggestion for The Nut House. It would be greatly appreciated!

The Office

The season premier of The Office is less than a month away!!! At The Nut House, we can't wait! Here is a video that was just posted on youtube where all the characters talk about what they did over the summer.

If you have never seen The Office, go Netflix it or get it some other way. Now.

24 Update

So our next Netflix disc of 24 came and we just finished watching three amazing episodes! Any doubts I had about season four have been washed away. It is amazing. Everyone reading this needs to go to Netflix or whatever rental service you use and get 24 on dvd. It is the best thing since LOST...even though it came before LOST...but whatever. Btw, I should not have talked about LOST because it reminded me that I have to wait till February for the next season to start! BOOO, ABC! And if you have never seen LOST, go Netflix it or get it another way immediately.

24

We are currently obsessed with the tv show 24. It is enthralling, suspenseful, and just plain amazing. We started with season 2 on dvd (thank God for Netflix!). It was so amazing. We then, of course had to watch season 3 on dvd. During during both those seasons sometimes we would not have a disc from Netflix to watch so we would not be able to control ourselves and we would have to buy episodes from iTunes.

The season 3 finale ended with no cliffhanger. I was surprised but was sure that season 4 would be just as amazing. So the first disc of season 4 comes from Netflix and we are so excited! We start watching and it is a dud. It is so bad so far. We have only watched 5 episodes, but none of the them have left me (John) wanting more! I am very disappointed! Things better shape up soon! I do have faith in the creative team behind 24, but am starting to loose my patience. I will not be revealing any plot lines when I blog about the show, just in case anyone reading is also watching.

I am very disgruntled! I will continue to blog about the show and let all of you know if it gets any better.

For those of you who have not seen the show. Get in the car right now (or go to Netflix) and get it on dvd. It is so amazing. Except for the fourth season, so far. And now I am just rambling. Ok, bye.
