Last night, was the Lost season premiere. It was a two hour episode. We saw that Ben Linus has to get the oceanic six back to the island. Now, Jack is working with Ben. Locke is dead and they have his body. I do not think that Locke is dead. I think that he will be shown to be alive somehow. Kate had a lawyer visit her and ask her for a blood sample from her and Aaron. I think Ben is the client behind this lawsuit. Kate decided to flee with Aaron. Now, back on the island we saw that time has been out of whack because of what Ben did. Daniel, who is a physicist said that they are going from the past to the future. Charlotte is having nosebleeds even though she has not had them since she was a kid. Sawyer and Juliet were captured by someĀ men who wanted to know who they were. They tried to cut off Juliet’s hands but Locke killed them. Locke was shot by Ethan, and Richard found him and helped him. He gave him a compass because he said he would not recognize him again. He also said that Locke had to die and get the oceanic six back. Sun wants Widmore to work with her to kill Ben Linus. She also visited Kate and Aaron in Los Angeles. Hurley and Sayid got into a bunch of trouble. Sayid killed three people to protect Hurley and got a dart to the neck.Hurley became a murder suspect. He took Sayid to his parents house. His dad took Sayid to Jack and Jack told Ben that Hurley was at his parents house. Ben visited Hurley and he decided to instead five himself up to the police. Ben has only seventy hours to get all of the Oceanic Six back to the island.

Last night’s Monk episode was pretty good. Natalie inadvertently helped a man steal a scientist’s expensive bike. Natalie turned in her karma chips and had Mister Monk go and track down the bike. They found the man who stole the bike. He shot Monk in the leg.Natalie felt very bad about Mr. Monk getting shot. Natalie then had to stay with Monk and cart him everywhere in a wheel chair.The female research assistant shot the man who stole the bike. Adrian went with Natalie to see the man’s dead body in the cemetery. The next day, garbage men found the expensive bike in their trash truck. The men immediately alerted the police. Adrian and Natalie went to return the bike to the scientist who was played by former West Wing star Bradley Whitford. The scientists noticed that Natalie was dehydrated and had not eaten in a while. Mister Monk felt bad and gave her a wipe and the karma chips back. he also noticed that the bike lock was missing. He said that the woman who was leaving for China had rigged a lock for the bike and had given the scientist the bike to get the code to the safe. The safe had some type of bean that would revolutionize the way that food grows. In the end, Natalie accidentally shot Monk and he had two hurt legs.

The other night. I watched William Petersen’s final episode of CSI. He did a good job. He left the popular drama series because it just was too mundane for him. He wanted to do for more interesting projects. I like Laurence Fishburne. I think that he will be a great addition to the series. I knew that Grissom would reunite with Sara at the end. I think the episode was really great what did you think?

First Lady Laura Bush and President George W. Bush were on Larry King Live last night. Larry King was doing sort of an exit interview with the couple. Laura was basically being motherly towards the President. She is his wife so I can see why she would defend him. George W. Bush talked about mostly the same things- connecting the dots, Katrina being a great effort, the war etc. He said Dick Cheney is a great man, we just do not know the real him. Larry King asked the President if Vice President Dick Cheney really was the one running the show. The President said no, obviously. This question would never be answered as yes, can you imagine the next day’s headlines if he had said yes? The President and the First Lady both said that they will write books. The President said he will only be a baseball fan, he will never be involved in baseball again. He wants to focus on AIDS and malaria in Africa. He also wants to go mountain biking. The First Lady wants to help women in Afghanistan. Did any of you watch the interview last night?

Last night was the Golden Globes. There are so many awards shows. These celebrities make millions of dollars every single year and they need awards too? The biggest headline of today was about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie snubbing Ryan Seacrest at the Golden Globes.Do I care? No, I don’t, this couple’s every move is constantly critiqued. I never understand why celebrities need to be shown even more praise. They have paparazzi and tons of fans given them adoration all the time. How many people get awards at their jobs? Not many that I know of. Celebrities borrow clothes and jewelry and spend thousands of dollars on hair, make up, limos, and parties. It just seems like a waste of time and money to me. They could take all of that money and help struggling actors or people who are sick with cancer or AIDS.How does everyone feel about award shows? Do you like them, if so do you watch them?

I watched a movie on the Hallmark Channel last night it was called “Expecting A Miracle”. It stars Teri Polo, Jason Priestley, and Cheech Marin. It is about a married couple named Pete and Donna. They are struggling with infertility. They have just gone though three cycles of in vitro fertilization and their doctor told them the treatment will probably not work for them. Their marriage is on the rocks. Pete does not want to adopt a baby or continue fertility treatments. Pete who is an engineer, then starts staying very late at work. His boss tells him to take his wife on a vacation to Mexico. They drive their Escalade to Mexico but run off the road while avoiding to hit a dog. They end up in a small town. Pepio who is a young boy with a hurt leg meets Pete and takes him to his brother Juan who is a mechanic. Juan says that it will take him awhile to fix the car because he is busy helping Pepio get ready to fly for the fiesta. Pete decides to help put together the contraption that will help him fly so Juan can work on his car. Cheech Marin plays a priest that also is putting together the contraption. Donna meets Juan’s wife and goes to help the children make cookies. She enjoys helping out. The couple have to stay at the hotel because Juan cannot get the part. They test out the machine with a pig but the machine breaks and Pepio is heart broken. He believes that he will be healed if he can fly. Pete works with the town’s men to fix the contraption and Pepio does fly. He falls and hits his body and magically he can walk again. After this Pete decides to adopt a baby with Donna. At the end of the movie Donna becomes pregnant and they are expecting a miracle. This movie actually deals with an issue that many couples face. I thought it was a good movie.

I keep hearing that Tori Spelling will return to 90210. 90210, the original was started by her father Aaron Spelling. Aaron Spelling died a few years ago. Tori Spelling now stars in her own reality show Tori and Dean on the Oxygen network. She is married to actor Dean McDermott and they have two children together named Liam and Stella. Tori Spelling played Donna Martin on the original 90210 series. Donna was a virgin for a while, then she dated David, then Noah and eventually married David at the end of the series. Donna and Kelly were tight and even lived together at the beach house for a while. Tori Spelling’s hair style and color always varied from season to season. I watched because back then I was in my teens and it was the show to watch. My favorite character was Steve, he was always getting into trouble in high school. Most of the women preferred Dylan McKay, there is something about a bad boy that women like. I hope that she does return to 90210.

I keep finding the sitcom According to Jim on my on demand but I never actually see the show on my local ABC network. Currently, Kimberly Williams Paisley left the show, she played Cheryl’s sister Dana. Courtney Thorne Smith had a baby last year and he role the last two seasons has been very minimal. I doubt that the show will continue much longer. They added twin boys to the family. They basically have centered the show around Jim and Andy now. I think that they need to make it more about Cheryl and Jim and their relationship now that Dana is gone. Dana hated Jim and made the show have a better comedic approach. I miss the character of Dana but I also know that Kimberly Williams Paisley is currently pregnant and does have a baby so her schedule must be very busy. Has anyone seen this show on ABC because honestly, I cannot find it, it is only on my on demand channel.

I watched Scrubs on Tuesday 1/6/09. There were two new episodes on ABC. Courteney Cox Arquette was the guest star in both episodes. She played a character named Dr. Taylor Maddox who took over for Dr. Kelso as the chief of medicine. She seems very nice but she wants to bleed everyone’s medical insurance dry in order to make more money for Sacred Heart Hospital. Elliott is self centered. Carla and even Dr. Cox told her so. She has been self centered since she dumped Keith and called off their wedding during the last season of Scrubs. The doctors are now training a new batch of interns. One girl knows a lot about medicine but is not good with patients and is very mean. JD and Turk skipped their steak meal to spend time with a dying patient. We saw Jordan and Doctor Maddox get long they have similar personalities I guess. Courteney Cox Arquette did a good job guest starring. I have always liked her work. The episodes were okay. I think that it has kind of lost its stride because it switched networks.

I watched “Sixty Minutes” on Sunday night. The first story was about Kathleen Rice, an attorney who tried a man for murder after he killed two people in a drunk driving accident. The man drove drunk, and was going on the wrong way section of the highway. He struck a limo crushing and killing the driver. He also beheaded a seven year old little girl. This happened in Nassau County, New York. Only in rare circumstances are drunk drivers charged with murder. Kathleen Rice said being drunk should not allow you to make excuses for your crimes. The man and the seven year old child were killed because of the man’s negligent actions. The man was found guilty of second degree murder. Drunk driving is a serious crime. Many people who commit these crimes have been convicted multiple times. I agree with the woman that people need to crack down on dui offenses. Many people have admitted to driving drunk at least once in their lives. Driving is a privilege not a right so people need to take it seriously and act appropriately when operating a motor vehicle.
