What does one do when he's home sick from work? Well he makes a mad dash to find ways to entertain himself on TV, in books, and on DVD. And that's just what I'm doing.
I think I'm almost completely caught up now on episodes of Psych (be careful if you're at work, there's an autostart video on the page). God how that has become my favorite show on TV. And the first flippin' season is only eight episodes. Thankfully, Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) will be returning with new episodes in January.
The thing is, though, that the first several episodes I saw were on my iPod and, as much as I never thought I'd hear myself say it, I've missed out on commercial advertising. No, I don't really miss your standard fare commercials. However, USA Networks has been playing a commercial featuring Shawn from Psych and Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) from The Dead Zone in a diner debating who has the cooler ability and whose life was worse growing up. It's hilarious, simply put. You really should check it out.
I apologize for the poor video quality. Clearly someone just pointed a digicam at their TV and recorded it. Maybe a better one will crop up on YouTube eventually. But, in the meantime, you can find it on the USA site as well in much better quality if you can deal with the car ad that comes first. Click on the "Mr. Monk at the Diner" link on this page ("Mr. Monk at the Party" is a good one, too).
And just so I can fit in with everyone else who is doing it (I'm such a blogconformist), be sure to tune in to the Veronica Mars premiere tonight. I'll be working at the gym, but the TiVo is set. Here's hoping nothing happens during the recording like the blackout we had last night or the delayed start that CBS gave The Amazing Race on Sunday. We only caught the first 25 minutes of the show because they just had to show friggin' 60 Minutes in its entirety.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT 60 MINUTES ANYMORE! IT'S DEAD! IF YOU NEED PROOF, LOOK AT THE PICTURE BELOW! I've seen Xombies in better condition than this.
Sorry, that was mean. But I just don't dig on Andy Rooney. His "news" segments have annoyed me for years.
So yeah, I need to know who was booted on TAR. Can somebody throw me a bone and give me a recap of the final half hour? Please? I don't want to check the site out without having some idea what happened first.
