tv & other stuff

24 was pretty good (2 hours of 24 is never a bad thing!) How can a show get better every year.
Simpson's : This past week's episode was, and iit hurts to say this. Very very blah. A lot of my friends have been saying for some time that Homer & co. have lost their edge. Based on this episode, I would have to agree.
CSI : This season of CSI started off rather poorly. ( A 2 part epsisode to star the year? After waiting all summer for new shows we get THAT? A lame episode that ends wit "to be continued"?) But,since then, it has been steadily uphill all season long. The "Miniature Killer" will likely make one or 2 more appearances before being the vehicle for the season finale. The Roger Daltrey episdoe remains my fave so far this year but the "MK" story arc is great.
Survivor : Some interesting people, a decent twist with the Immunity Idol. So far,so good. We'll see.
(oh, they should make them sing for immunity - they could call it "American Immunity Idol"!)
all together now...boooooooooooooooo!

Watched Superman Returns the other day. Bah. I was under the impression that it is supposed to take place after the events in Superman II. No. I would have to say it's a cleverly disguised remake of the original Superman with Christopher Reeves. There are plot points taken DIRECTLY from the original. Not impressed. It isn't Fantastic Four bad (what COULD be? - well, except for possibly FF2). The effects and acting are decent but I felt like I had seen the movie already

A movie I did watch that was pretty good was "Nanny McPhee" . A charming little story in the mold of Mary Poppins.
Also saw Kill Bill Vol 1 the other day and am going to watch Vol 2 tomorrow. It was good, I enjoyed it. Any excuse to look at Uma for 90 minutes is fine by me! Violence,gore,humor,good fight scenes,etc. Worth watchingI'd say.

I knew Grissom wasn't gone for good. The actor needed a few weeks off to go do a play somewhere. I thought that chracter they brought in to cover him for awhile was very good. Wish he had stayed around in some capacity.
