Basically it's about this writer who moves to hollywood (it's a comedy) and gets embroiled in all sorts of funny situations. The Captain in question is the "legendary" old apartment building he moved into. Stars Fran Kranz as the young writer named Josh. Also stars Jeffery Tambor, Raquel Welch, Joanna Garcia (some might remember her as the oldest of Reba's kids on "Reba"), and Chris Klein.

Only things I watch on the list are Prisonbreak and Lost. I'm getting really excited for lost. I've been seeing a lot of commercials for it on tv the last couple days. I gotta start rewatching some episodes. I'm also excited for American Gladiators....hopefully it'll be cool.

The only stuff I'm interested in is "Ghost Hunters", "Monk", and "Torchwood". Haven't seen "Monk" in ages, and I've been meaning to see "Ghost Hunters" and "Torchwood" for a while. "Welcome to the Captain" has semi-peeked my intereset, since it's new. But for nearly everything else...yeah, it makes me thankful I don't watch TV as much any more...

I'm in for Torchwood, Lost, and, I'm not ashamed to say it, American Idol.

I always get sucked in for the auditions, but I'm done after that :P

This is why I hate TV.

I'm excited for Lost and I'm also glad they're bringing back Jericho. I watched the episodes recently recommended by a friend. It's a great show.

Pretty much all I'm looking forward to is American Gladiators. Heroes and Smallville aren't coming back yet, so that's all I've got.

For anyone who cares, Conan, Daily Show, and Colbert are coming back from the strike tomorrow evening, though nobody knows what the shows are going to be like with no writers. Also, I will personally put a bullet through the gut of whatever loser tunes into Celebrity Apprentice. I'm not freaking kidding either.

I'll be watching Real Time With Bill Maher (as usual), Conan, Daily Show, Dance War, American Gladiators, and Lost. Everything else I watch is either gone due to the strike (Gossip Girl), or getting canceled because of the Strike (Bionic Woman).

Oh yeah I forgot...Conan starts again tonight!!! I'll definitely be watching.

Lost, American Gladiators, Rock of Love, Rob and Big, and Real World/Road Rules challenge is what I'll be watching.

Going to be interesting for sure. Nobody is exactly sure what the hell they're going to be doing without writers, but hell, Conan can make me laugh by doing the stupidest sh*t.

Don't the Daily Show and Colbert Report start back up on the 7th? That's what I thought, anyway.

That's why I love watching him so much. It's not always the joke, but the delivery, goofy impressions, and stupid sh*t done on the side.

Here's a preview of Conan tonight:

http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/2...ight_la106.jpg

I think it speaks for itself. :lol:

HAHAHA!

I just saw that on tv and was laughing my ass off. I could watch his show on mute tonight and still laugh for an hour.

Me? Mute my 300 watt Dolby system hooked up to an HD receiver? Never. Still, I laughed for the whole hour straight.

Man, that was the most batsh*t crazy two hours ever. Honestly, I think Leno did quite well. I usually don't find him that funny at all, but I actually thought he did better off the card than on. It was interesting to say the least, but I actually enjoyed it. I haven't seen Letterman's show yet. Downloading it now.

Conan made me sh*t my pants though. Saw that coming--didn't see the beard coming at all though. Kris freaking Kringle. :lol: Its going to be interesting to see their guests as time rolls on when the stars have nothing to promote except making sure people don't forget they exist.

What's going to be even more interesting is to see the hollow shell that this year's awards shows are going to transform into. They have nothing because all the presenters, stars, and nominees likely won't cross the picket lines.


Anyway, its just nice to have my late night guys back, no matter what shape the shows are in.

I'm watching Letterman now. It's pretty standard Letterman fare since he has his writers. The key difference being that pretty much every joke/bit centers around the strike. He's got a beard, too.

I can't stomach Leno at all, so I'm not bothering with him. Really looking forward to Conan, but he's still about 40 minutes away.

What did I say at the beginning of the Strike? it's the people who watch TV that are going to suffer the most. Then the writers at a distant second. The Studios seem to be doing fine, as they've clearly eaten undercooked chicken, and vomited and diarrhea-ed up a line up so foul, not even a reality show fan can stomach.


More Biggest loser? Wow. You'd think thin people would have had their fill of fat miserable people stereotypes mudwrestling topless, crying all the way. Oh yeah. It's inspirational. Or at least it pretends to be. I guess showing a bunch of overweight people just going on a diet and having regular excersize isn't ratings friendly enough.

According to Jim. Okay. Anyone ever seen the movie Trading Places? That little bit near the end where there was a guy in the gorilla suit? that was Jim Belushi's finest moment. In fact, it was the only time I laughed at him. I'm sure he's a nice guy and everything, but I just don't like him that much.

And I will say I'm terribly disappointed with Wife Swap. The title is so misleading. Of course, I don't know why I expected that sort of thing out of ABC... but they said the show was from Europe, so they could have different rules over there.... :D

And all the rest is just... wow. Wow. Reality shows are like fish. the longer they hang around, the fouler the odor. I mean, Redneck wedding? The Ugliest house on the Block? How in the hell do these people get their jobs, and where do I sign up? We don't have a show where people are forced to paint themselves Purple and speak Pig Latin for an entire year yet. Nor do we have one where f- List celebrities eat various cans of frosting and give their reviews of them, while flying from country to country, collecting Newspapers to make those little newspaper hats.

They're scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard, there are splinters and fragments of the actual barrel in there.

Didn't watch any of them... But wouldn't it be hilariously ironic if everyone liked the shows better without writers than with? Wonder what would happen then? Would the hosts be so lazy that they wouldn't write their own stuff? (Most likely.)
