NBC made a huge mistake putting Conan on at 11:30.

I could only stand about a minute of the monologe - but it was the same shit he had at his old show. It was Conan jumping around and waving his hands and being a dumb-ass. It was sad and pathetic. And I won't watch it again.

In fact, my 11:30 choice is now NightLine.

(The above is an update to an earlier post - 2007, actually.)

Is it possible? Is my faith in Heroes restored?

Almost.

I loved Sylar's identity crisis. I love how we don't really know what he's going to do.

I hated seeing him confront Micah. But not killing him... was it because S isn't sure who he is, or is there an ounce of humanity in there?

Kings - Season One will be available later this year.

It seems that NBC has canceled Kings. I'm not surprised about this - I don't think anyone is. I think I have more favorite shows on the CW than NBC right now. But Kings was a though sell to the audience though. It wasn't action; it was pretty cerebral. I thought it had potential and that it would get better before long (like Journeyman which did improve with time - just as it was also canceled.)

Is ABC turning into the new NBC? You know NBC, the joke of the networks. Most good shows are canceled, or deteriorate in quality while the execs sit by and watch and wonder what's happening while they go and schedule stupid reality shows (remember that dance thing show a couple months back? I barely do.)

Well, ABC, after canceling Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money (while keeping Private Practice, which is a joke) has canceled Life on Mars.

Mary McDonnell arrives at Seattle Grace!!!! Finally a reason to get excited about this show! Not that Kevin McKidd wasn't a reason to get excited about. But Mary McDonnell!

On CBS at the same time, CSI deals with a death in Koreatown. The promos CBS is airing makes it look sooooo good. Good enough to miss Mary McDonnell? Probably not.

The CW brings back Beverly Hills 90210, now simply 90210. I never watched the original, and I can't think of any reason I'll be watching this show. (CW, m, two hour special.)

On NBC, another ten acts perform for America on America's Got Talent. (m or 9pm depending on your areas coverage of the Republican National Convention, NBC, two hours.) It's followed by a Dateline NBC.

Seriously, how long is the audition/callback process? It's been months now since the show started, right? And they just finished the callbacks?

I lost interest a long time ago. (The stupid audience screaming didn't help much.) And my lose of interest has nothing to do with the talent. From what I've seen, there are a lot of people who are amazing at what they do. (Those young kids, while heartwarming enough, don't do anything for me - I really hope they're gone soon. Harsh, probably.)
