I started watching the third episode of Jericho but didn't make it through it. I probably missed too much by missing the pilot and second episode. Somehow it was reminding me of Invasion, which I stuck with last year only to see it cancelled. This confirms that I don't watch anything on CBS except Tom Selleck in the "Jesse Stone" made-for-TV movies. In other Tom Selleck news, I hear that a Magnum P.I. film is being prepared but with someone else playing the role of Magnum. Blasphemy.

I watched the pilot of Heroes on NBC. I'm going to pass on that one, but I did get a kick out of the scene in the Japanese karaoke bar. No, not the idea of teleporting myself into the women's bathroom. The guys singing. They were clones of the Backdorm Boys...the caste, the head band, the red basketball jerseys, and...they were singing "I Want It That Way!" A couple new shows we're watching but haven't decided on yet:
And, season 3 of Battlestar Galactica is coming soon.

This week's episode of the The Hill was really interesting...watching Wexler and his staff trying to decide whether or not to vote for the Republican-introduced bill to withdraw immediately from Iraq (which they introduced after Murtha called for withdrawal to basically force Democrats to vote to stay in Iraq) and what a game the whole process was.
