Observations from Tuesday night television.

In no particular order (and observed from halfhearted watching):
  1. Gilmore Girls has gone downhill. Full speed. Into a tree. Sookie is so freaking annoying. And, so is the rest of the cast. What happened to my beloved show? Even Logan and Christopher can't save it.
  2. American Idol is the only show on television that can make me laugh, cry, anxious, grateful and horrified all within 25 seconds.
  3. Oh, George W. First of all, it's NEW-KLEE-AR. NOT NEW-KU-LER. Since Dennis Miller has moved on to [bigger?] [better?] things, we were forced to watch the real thing.
  4. Travis and Shanna spent $20,000 on a new bedroom set for Landon, one that he is only going to use for one year. And, wwwwaaaahhh, Shanna, you've had a rough day because you've been dealing with furniture issues all day. And by you I mean your assistant.
  5. Ashley Angel wears eye makeup. His fiancee/girfriend/baby's mama looks like she has an extra chromosome. And, what's with naming the kid (who's actually cute) Lyric? Lyric, Ashley? Really? You said you wanted the kid to have a normal name because you know what it's like to have a rainbow name. And then you give the new kid one. And what's with the pausing of the background and Ash moving into the forefront with his "deep" commentary? Lisa Loeb kind of does that, too. A new techinique of which I am unaware? (Yes, Tiffany, the baby does hate you and that's why he's not coming out. It has nothing to do with the fact that you are young, penniless, jobless, and that you are going to name him Lyric.)
  6. How convenient that Shanna and Tiffany are having their babies on the same day (ie next week's episodes). Welcome to the world, Alabama and Lyric! May your lives as offspring of musicians who married insipid females turn out well for you. Sorry about your names.

My Tivo messed up and I missed Gilmore Girls! I love that show, they can do know wrong (as long as Luke and Lorelai end up married in the end!)
