Tuesday night television - one-liners

[platypush]

Managed to catch the last few minutes of the now "complete" mid-season finale of Stargate:Atlantis - how long until the new episodes?!?

I do not like you, Amazing Race: Family Edition, and I do not think I will watch you.

Thanks Supernatural - now I'm going to get all freaked out tomorrow when I step into the shower.

What didn't you like about TAR? I didn't watch it, nor do I plan to, but knowing you've been a fairly steady fan since the beginning, I'm curious.

It had kids - and they were obnoxious.

To be fair, I have a fairly low tolerance for kids in general, and I don't go looking for them with respect to my entertainment. But in this case, what I'm really hating is they're going with teams of 4, which is much harder to keep track of and generally speaking, twice as loud what with everyone talking over each other.

But the real kicker? They're making it an all-America race, I suppose in deference to the small kids. And man, I started watching this show when it was a travelogue, and I loved the exotic locations and seeing the racers deal with the different cultures. Watching them on a multi-episode road trip around the U.S. ain't my thang.

I'm not feeling like it's a great loss - I stopped watching after a few episodes last season because I hated Rob and Amber, so I really haven't watched in a while. And this family edition crap isn't enough to lure me back into the fold - I'd much rather watch cute guys take on scary monsters on "Supernatural".

I had no idea they were keeping it in the US. And here I was thinking what a great opportunity for the kids to see the world.

I keep hearing it's an 11,000 mile race though. What are they going to do? Criss cross the country a few times? Go north, now go south, go as far west as possible, now fly to Alaska. I guess that could work, but yea, snores-ville.

I think the perimeter of the lower 48 states is about a 14K mile trip, so that'd work. I have the first episode of TAR recorded, and I'll watch it, but I'm hoping it blows, 'cause there's already too much on on Tuesdays. Platy gives me hope, as did a dismal review in [i]USA Today[/i].

Happy birthday! (I just saw greetings on another journal and I wanted to wish you the best for the day).
