Episode from 1-17-2016

You may notice in my blog that I talk about the football games on before the show starts. You might be wondering which football team I root for. While I do root for a team, I haven’t said what it was because it would reveal things about me. Incidentally, they have not played a game close to six since their season started in the fall. Well, I live around the Illinois side of the St. Louis area. I root for various St. Louis sports teams more often than not. That means that I would root for the Rams. Now the Rams are leaving St. Louis for LA. This leaves me wondering something: should I still root for the Rams? Just because they are leaving doesn’t mean that I should automatically stop rooting for them. Besides, I don’t have a back up team. I’m not rooting for the Bears. I hate Chicago.

This makes me wonder, should I be a free agent? Which team would I root for? I think that I should just continue rooting for the Rams. If I want to find some other team to root for, I will. But I don’t know how. I mean, of all the football teams, who would I want to root for? I’m not sure that I feel strongly any way. If you want to know me as a free agent, then wait until March Madness happens. I would have a team for March Madness, but my alma mater is almost never in the tournament so there’s no one for me to root for. Or is there? I can tell you later how my back up team pleased me by winning the tournament. Since I don’t know how to find a replacement football team to root for, I might as well just stick with the Rams. Besides, I might move to LA myself. I would like to become a writer.

You might be wondering why I haven’t updated you on the TV show watching that I’m doing with shows on DVD. The last update I had on that was when I removed Moonlight from the list. After that happened, I haven’t changed the list in any way and am still watching the same things. I even have to wait to get caught up some on the tapes that I’m watching of recorded shows. I really hope that I can continue with the list and change it more. Don’t be surprised if I end up talking about it in two different blogs. That might be a plan for the future. But will it happen? That I don’t know yet.

I flip to my primary CBS affiliate and there is a game of Pittsburg versus the Broncos. This is a play-off game and it is expected to last until 7. Hopefully, it won’t last any longer than that. Pittsburg (are they the Steelers?) is winning the game. I check FOX and they are airing the movie Vantage Point. I guess they are done with football this season. My secondary CBS affiliate is airing the same game. I guess it is whatever postseason game that they typically always air. This will create a planned delay of CBS primetime this Sunday (which, if we are lucky, will only be an hour and not longer) and I wonder if this always happens once a year and I’ve never paid attention to it before. No CSI: Cyber this week, but I will share the link to that new blog in the near future.

Announcers prove that the team from Pittsburg is in fact the Steelers. They are still winning the game, but the Broncos are closing the gap. I saw some of the game between the Packers and the Cardinals last night. I had to record SNL or I’d risk missing church. (I was late a bit for church anyways, but I doubt I would have made it at all watching the whole show live.) The Cardinals won that game. I don’t know if I might root for any of the teams in the championship. I might just root for the Steelers in the future, but I could wind up rooting for any team. I’m kind of a free agent, if I don’t keep rooting for the Rams. If the Steelers don’t end up winning this game, well, then I’m still not sure who I’d root for, although I’m not sure if I’d change even if they do win.

Since FOX shows are airing on time, I’m going to watch them instead of the game. I will check the game on the score from time to time. I will google it if I miss who wins (although I might just make an assumption. But, this time I would know who won and lost in the future as it isn’t a regular season game.) A rerun of The Simpsons is on first. I wonder if they’ll put The Last Man on Earth at 6. They might, but I’m not sure if they air anything at that time.

The score is somehow unchanged as I keep looking back at it. Normally I see the score change. Typically, though, the score changing doesn’t affect who is winning. And I typically only root for the winning team because that means the game will end. The score has it so that only one single point separates the winner from the loser. So will the winning team change?

I missed a lot of the game as when I check the score again, the Broncos are now winning by a lot. Time is running out and I don’t think that the Steelers are actually going to win this time. I don’t know who I should be rooting for now.

Well, to make a long story short, the Broncos won the game. I hope that shows are starting on time. They mentioned a post game show, which could throw the schedule off. But is it just for the West Coast? Or will it be brief?

Today’s episode is brought to you by 62 minute delay (tape delay made it just a bit longer than was planned). We begin with neighbor problems for the McCords as one of their neighbors has a complaint about them. You know, this is the type of thing that should have been more important before this episode. Anyhoo, once again Elisabeth is on her way to solve an international crisis.

In segment two, we learn that this diplomatic ambassador in this country I’ve actually never heard of is relieved of his position by Elisabeth. But does he accept this? Well, things get very interesting when he takes the president of this country hostage.

In segment three, the crisis unfolds, even though we don’t see it from the inside. Elizabeth wonders what this has to do with Buddhism. She can’t learn anything about it to know what to do. Meanwhile, a brunch with neighbors that the McCords have planned start happening.

In segment four, Henry and that one assistant that I think is named Blake talk to the neighbors about the positive effects of having them as neighbors, but not everything goes well. Meanwhile, it is hard to tell what is going on in the crisis in that one country that I don’t even know what continent it is on. I just know that it’s not North America or South America due to the time change they mentioned and it isn’t Australia either.


In segment five, we see more of Nadine and her son. I can’t tell what all happened between them and I don’t know if we’ll see more of them or not. The McCords are able to stop the need for the car outside their house to be running all the time. The man responsible for the foreign president being held hostage is dead, apparently, and it seems like he might have helped others in terms of advice. There are no scenes from next time, so I don’t know when we’ll be back with new episodes. Until this, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
