No Boys. Only the one crack at Keith and Rachel because it’s all Maricopa County and Joe Arpaio all the time on MSNBC during the weekend.
AMC has M*A*S*H x 2, the movie with all the minor characters who got cut from the TV Series like the Painless Pole (without whom the ‘Suicide is Painless‘ theme song doesn’t make much sense) and Spearchucker Jones and Duke (who’s absence, since he’s the second lead while Trapper John McIntyre only makes his appearance halfway through, is pretty puzzling). Only Gary Burghoff is the same.
Yes, I did read all 3 novels by Rchard Hooker. Why do you ask?
- ESPN– Little League Baseball, Southeast Region Final
- Oxygen– Monster-in-Law which, although it has J-Lo, also has Jane Fonda
- SciFi– Eureka’s Warehouse 13 crossover episode (imaginatively titled Crossing Over).
Oh, and premiers of that and Haven. - TBS– Diary of a Mad Black Woman (why Tyler Perry is famous)
- Turner Classic– The Boy with Green Hair, The Set-Up (Robert Ryan night)
- Discovery– Odd Couple survival night
- TLC– Say Yes to the Dress marathon
- TNT– A Few Good Men
- Toon– Ben 10 and Generator Rex premiers, Clone Wars bounty hunter episodes
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Later-
Alton has all you’d ever want to know about pressure-cooking broth. Toon has new Children’s Hospital (new link), Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman (memorable), and Look Around You does Sports (Darts and Fencing become ‘Dencing’, though I can perhaps think of another fusion).
- FX– Bedazzled
- Oxygen– Shall We Dance? (more J-Lo, but also Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon)
- TBS– The Truman Show (prescient and disturbing)
- TNT– The Fugitive
- USA– Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
- Disney– Summer Belongs To You
There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

The mets are really godawful this season. But i watch anyway, hoping, hoping beyond hope that something will get them to play baseball rather than whatever game they think they’re getting paid for.
