It’s the holidays and except for seriously tropical season areas its also winter time. That means mucho TV time as many of us are indoors. There are the traditional TV specials that I try to avoid since they remind me of how much I’m all alone this time of year, more so than many, next year a bit different, I’ll be in Utah near family, but that’s another subject for another time. So I watch some of the pre premier TV shows. Networks, knowingly will throw out these teaser episodes to test reaction, they know too that your stuck at home watching TV. Out of the many two will not really gain traction. Mob City on TNT, a real dud. I saw all the hype of the show right before Thanksgiving, but found the real thing not worth watching, especially when TNT had to rerun the damn thing 12 times. Its just plain poop. I had thought they might have conjured up something near the Sopranos there. Naw, another Elliot Ness bio drama that just made me puke. Then came CBS, Hey I like Robin Williams, and all but the new series another let down, not of Robin Williams level of perfection. This thing sucks, Michele Geller and Williams are okay, but the rest of the casting, comes of of 30 Rock and it smells like an attempt to remake 30 Rock. Out of an an ad agency drama. Speaking of ad agencies. Those paying dear money. First I’m not a Target Stores fan, Target Stores have said they hate our military. That said, of all the tender feel good ads, the one with the little girls setting up a trap to see Santa, then falling asleep in bed is so cute it almost brings tears to your eyes in a good way. Then for the not over the top rowdy ads, Harley made an ad where the herd of road bikes pulling the sleigh the snowman with chrome pipes belching fire. Real creativity. If either or both of these ads don’t bring a Cleo Award I’ll eat grits for a year without butter. Too bad we can’t get these kinds of ads all the time. Hey I dig racy and spicy, been told by many can’t air your ad its too much, ourselves, but I think ad producers all over are waking up to the idea, that you can be sensual , without being trashy, you can be the bad guy without women in skin tight leather as in the ad for Nationwide Insurance with the hot gal, doing a reverse B&E . Bet that suit smells like a spoiled fish taco, don’t ya’ll?
Of course I miss several things TV wise. But the worst is , no Hazzard County Christmas. I loved that episode at Christmas. The end segments were the best, Boss Hogg sitting down reading A Christmas Carol , then meandering over to the Duke farm with an arm full of gifts, and in the back ground you hear jingle bells and Waylon saying, look if it could happen anywhere , it would happen in Hazzard County. For a Duke fan, and Hazzard-ite like me that episode is Christmas.
Have a bunch of stuff to do today after Church, so that next year wont be like this year.
Talk to ya’ll L8R,

| Luke 1:30-33“But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) .
