No Bad Puns, No More SOJ

Watching the finale of NCIS and it’s spinoff NCIS Los Angeles - CBS is intending on canning their only viable shows - much like ABC has done and of course it’s been years since NBC had a viable show.
Speaking of which, I saw a scary ad yesterday - lucky we have a tape system, so I was able to check that I did hear what I thought I’d heard: Dish tv - (two guys on a couch, possibly intended to be a parody of two women) - “I get upset when I miss my shows, now I can record all four networks and never miss any of my shows”. Like the alphabets are the only channels on tv - and if so - who the hell is so stupid as to pay Dish tv rates, just to see the alphabets?
BTW, just finally found the new Time mag, will read ‘the’ story but I feel that they only did the cover (Jamie & son) to provoke a discussion about Time (which never would happen in any other week) - and maybe sell a few more copies.
OK Drew, I gotta ask.
SOJ ?
never saw this show and judging by your comments it isn’t likely I’d have ever wanted to.
Amazing, don’t feel like I’ve missed anything being minus a TV. Might finally get one sometime but only if I can hook up sat. to receive certain American shows on cable and HGTV.DO WHAT?!?!? I LOVE NCIS! CSI not so much, but I watched the original CSI: NY for Gary Sinise. Whassisface in Miami was on the NY show, so I only watch it now and then for him, because he’s pretty cool.
Do NOT tell me NCIS is gone forever, or I will never watch those channels at all, ever. Oh well, they still have Grimm, which is a very cool show. I watch a LOT of SYFY, and HBO/Starz/SHO. Rarely do I watch commercial stations anyway.
How sad that the franchise is about to end. I was looking forward to a couple of spin-offs:
CSI Schenectady and CSI Sheboygan
To me, CSI started dying when they got into the garbage between Sarah and Grisom leading to Grisom’s departure from the series. Never cared for CSI:Miami or New York.
Always enjoy NCIS - they spend more time on the case than on the personalities - except when the killed Jenny. Again, never cared for NCIS: LA
Someone explain why a show about the science of crime solving has to get all caught up in these stupid character side play bu11 crap?
I don’t know if NCIS or NCIS LA are going to be cancelled just that they set up for it - or a big change in characters - I don’t care for the LA one but love NCIS. CSI has been ok, I only watched CSI Miami for a season or two - the NY not at all.
I use to love House - but when they did the show tunes episode - I just quit watching and now it will end next week and I have barely caught any of it.
Yeah - Bones, CSI and of course ‘the boys’ - The Big Bang Theory. The rest we watch on cable channels.
That detective stuff doesn’t do much for me. Well, except for the old “Pink Panther” series starring Peter Sellers.
I watch “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox to get a Conservative slant on the news.
I watch “America Live” on the same network. Not for the news, but to oogle Megyn Kelly.
I always preferred NCIS myself, but did go through a CSI phase a while back. One thing real prosecutors hate about these kind of shows is that they build up an unreasonable expectation in juries.
One of my favorite “yeah, right!” moments was in NCIS where Abby identified a piece of schmutz as a beetle wing that only lived in Georgia. Now even assuming she could make such an ID, the crime must have been done in intel’s clean room.. otherwise in most places I know, she’d be looking at thousands of little bits from old scabs to lint and dorito crumbs.Of course the zoom in from crappy surveilence footage to ridiculous quality is a classic. NCIS even did the reflection bit- although it was in a window, not a license plate screw.
Just wait, law enforcement will be able to do that and more once the drones are flying around. To bad I can’t paint on my roof “No surveillance or photography without warrant” and have it be legally binding.
1984, here we come!
