  Everything Changes

  A Good Day for Jack Bauer

  Well, as some of you are aware, I have been occasionally lurking on the site. The lurking has consisted of checking my mod queue and moving on to other things. My total computer time on most days is 10 minutes or less and TV.Com has been getting just a passing glance. Saturday, I checked my queue and it was overloaded with submissions for Kiefer Sutherland. I went through those as per my duty as editor. All of the submissions enabled this person to overtake the editorship. Best wishes to MrOzzy on the guide. I am sure the guide will now receive the attention it deserves.  

  My Time

  Since my time is limited, I have been mostly checking sites for information on the shows that I watch. This means I have been using the sites as sources of information only. Sadly, my time as a member of the community is almost zero.  

  Did I miss my opportunity?

  Did I miss my opportunity to say goodbye to the Links Union? Somehow, all the old blogs disappeared along the way. Also, the blue boxies have been put out to pasture. They have vastly improved the whole icon thing from the looks of it. Wasn’t the whole point of the blue boxies that the users wanted more than the site was offering? Apparently, they got the message and improved. This is always nice to see.

  Where to from here?

  It's Much Too Late for Goodbye

  Well, sometimes life happens. Between substitute teaching, babysitting my 3 year old, and a host of other duties, my TV.Com time has been down to zero. I just happened to have a few minutes and I thought I would drop by and say hello.
  
  TV wise things are really good right now. 24 is back on the air and having a great season so far. Although, it's "off with a bang" start was saddening.
  
  Battlestar has now matured past most of the expected twists and turns from the original series. The only thing left to mine from the original is the knowledge of Baltar's betrayal and that could take some time to come up.
  
  Apparantly, there have been many changes going on around here. Are they for the better?

  But He Waved Goodbye Saying Don't You Cry

  The Outstanding Account
  I am in debt to all my friends here at TV.Com. I have been away for awhile without any real explanation. I am very sorry for that. The good news is I have been working steadily. The bad news is I am home today with the a cold/flu.
  
  We're a Couple of Misfits
  Here is a quick list of my 5 five annual Christmas animated shows:
  5. Frosty The Snowman: The animation and storyline leave a little to be desired, but the song still gets me in the mood every time.
  4. The Grinch: The cartoon. This classic 30 minute show is more fun than the entire live action movie. Exhibit A in the “never remake a classic” debate.
  3. The Year Without Santa Claus: He’s Mr. White Christmas, he’s Mr. Snow.
  2. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer: The Burl Ives Snowman started a trend of celebrity narrators.
  1. A Charlie Brown Christmas: Clunky and uneven in places, this one manages to communicate more about the Christmas message than countless pulpit sermons.
  
  Seussical The Musical
  I got to go on my daughter’s field trip to Seussical The Musical. The local children’s theater here in Nashville put it on. They did an awesome job with a limited budget. In case you are unfamiliar with it, the storyline follows The Dr. Seuss elephant Horton as he hears a Who and hatches an egg. Some of his other children’s storylines are also woven into the production. The first graders loved the music and the spectacle. However, I was shocked that many of them did not catch the references such a Solla Selew and McElligot’s Pool. It kind of makes you wonder what they are reading in schools these days.
  
  People’s Choice Awards
  My final three People’s Choice Awards are listed below:
  Crest Whitestrips Fans Favorite Smile:Queen Latifah lights up a room with her smile. She always seems to be better than the movies in which she appears. Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore also ran in this category.
  Nice ‘N Easy Fans Favorite Hair: Faith Hill won the coin toss on this one. I am really unqualified to choose between her, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Garner.
  Olay Total Effects Fans Favorite Look: Reese Witherspoon wins this one. Given the choice to pick between Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston, I would pick neither. Sorry, Brad.
