While watching an "NCIS" episode titled 'Lost & Found', I heard a snippet of "Freddie Freeloader" by Miles Davis.

General Discussion / Amy Winehouse Found Dead at Her Home

I pretty much knew her downward spiral would lead to this. She refused to help herself out of a hole she dug herself into. Many thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

"Before Dawn" by Joyce Cooling was airing on The Oasis 107.5 HD-2. It was also blasting from someone's stereo system outside my neighborhood pool last weekend.

General Discussion / Rihanna's Concert In Dallas was on Fire! Literally!

« on: July 09, 2011, 12:47:55 PM »

The American Airlines Center in Dallas was evacuated last night after a fire broke out during Rihanna's Concert. Several fans said that a stunt involving pyrotechnics appears to have malfunctioned at around the time when the show was nearly completed.

No one was injured during that incident.

Yeah, their LDL could use a little more reworking, especially their icons. They need to enlarge them a little.

I do applaud their efforts though.

Anybody ever watched "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction"? Here's a segment from an episode in the 2002 season about a SoCal weatherman who lets loose with his own predictions after slumping ratings. Although this story is (Spoiler Alert!!) Fictional, if Kevin Martin's forecasting methods keep up, it might slowly turn into Fact.

One other network I forgot to mention...GSN (Game Show Network)

While most of their programming is focused on game shows, one show that was just added to their lineup is "Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza". Not that I'm complaining, I always love a great improv show, but I think it should be on either ABC Family as a counterpart to "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (my other favorite) or Comedy Central.

Happy (Post) 4th of July!

Last night I saw one heck of a great fireworks show where I live in Irving, TX. Instead of watching it from my neighborhood, I got closer to the action. From what I was told, it's much better than last year's.

truTV/CourtTV was one of my favorite channels! Then they got rid of all their law enforcement related shows and added in this reality crap. Even their weekday court coverage isn't the same as it used to be, showing less of raw court coverage and more talk. Forensic Files are the only good true court show left on that channel, and they only show that late at night. Although Operation Repo and Bait Car is ok too.

I like "Bait Car" as well as "Forensic Files". But "World's Dumbest" is what kept me watching...until Time Willy-Nilly...I mean...Time Warner Cable took it off the analog lineup. At least truTV has their episodes online.
