What's working for me this week....
- "Grey's," "CSI," "The Office" rescheduled after storms. The outrage of having last week's lightning flashes wipe out most of an hour of Thursday's prime time was cooled just a bit when the CBS, NBC and ABC stations in town got the all-clear to reair the missed episodes.
CBS gives KCTV-5 a "Survivor" do-over. After Katie Horner obliterated the suspenseful ending to last week's tribal council to tell us about a storm near Chillicothe, the network could've just said, "Your problem, not ours!" Instead, CBS graciously let KCTV re-air the entire show.
"The Alzheimer's Project." If you missed the free preview for non-HBO subscribers, find someone who pays for it and catch this important series about caring for those with this terrible disease.
... AND WHAT'S NOT
Analog severe storm coverage in a DTV age. The time is coming when all local TV viewing will be in digital. Seems to me the local stations will lose their last excuse for ruining the evening for three-fourths of the metro area just to tell the other one-fourth that a big storm is headed their way.
"Prison Break" two-hour finale bumps "Dollhouse" finale. "Prison Break," which was cancelled months ago, gets to go out with a bang while "Dollhouse," still a going concern, will have to put its season ending episode on DVD. What's wrong with this picture?
Tom Heald, RIP. He contributed more to my web sites than anyone else. He was just 36. He is and will be dearly missed.
