With 'Annie' last night, Kates and I spent tonight catching up on Tuesday TV ...
... 'Amazing Race' : Glad to see the pinkies are gone, they were a waste of the audience's time and the frat boys' time ... and so glad to see lovable Lori & Dave still in it. How great -- and lovable -- are they!?!
... 'Teachers' : Good stuff. Not great -- it's midseason throw-em-in-the-trash TV -- but it gives those of us who enjoy a good sitcom and abhor the overload of cops and court dramas some breathing room. So kudos to the networks for airing stuff like 'Teachers,' 'Sons & Daughters' and 'Courting Alex' before killing them off for good, never to be seen again ... but back to the show -- the premise of focusing more on the teachers' lives in the lounge and outside of school rather than the classroom is clever. And the flirtacious storyline between English teacher Jeff and his female teacher interests was comical. ..And yes, Deon Richmond, aka Kenny from 'The Cosby Show,' was instantly recognizable ...
... 'Lost' : ... whoah again. Another episode that delivered on the action and the drama -- and a climax that left us begging for more. (oh! Henry!) ... Locke's flashback didn't seem to present a lot to me at first, although my buddy Sean theorizes that his Locke's father has something to do wiSawyer and his conning. I, as always, was more interested in the present state of things on the island. As if the whole doors shutting on Locke wasn't wild enough, jaws across the country dropped, I'm sure, at the sight of that glow-in-the-dark map on the ceiling of the hatch ...
... 'According to Jim' : ... taking another one off the ol' DVR to end the night. It was a repeat, but HA-larious nonetheless ... it's simple, good, clean family-fun, and more and more I'm thinking it's one of the most underrated sitcoms on TV ... After all, it took me five years to find it.
