Well, I’m going to talk to you
about the shows I’ve been watching on DVD. Well, I could be doing that, or it
could be some sort of alternative format that is about an hour or shorter.
Sometimes long things sneak in there. But I’m going to tell you about any
changes in watching shows. I decide what to watch by rolling from a list.
Whatever is alphabetically first is the number one choice. Such the list
continues until number five and number six is getting caught up on VHS tapes of
shows I recorded (like this one sometimes). Now I’ve mentioned in previous
posts what shows I’m watching. I’m not going to mention how the shows were
renumbered. But I will say what replaced what. Also, I’ll be sure to point out
when the actual important part of this blog begins.
While watching through NCIS
season 7, I realized that the next episode would be a Thanksgiving episode
which, in turn, would be followed by a Christmas episode before going back to
normal episodes. So I’m replacing it with the next on the list, which happens
to be NCIS: Los Angeles season 1, which I got because it takes place at the
same time as the NCIS season I mentioned. I stopped watching NCIS: Los Angeles
earlier after waiting to watch a Christmas episode until it was actually
December.
Next I finished watching the
VeggieTales DVDs that I have. I will probably add the VeggieTales VHS tapes
that I have to the list later. For now, The Big Bang Theory season 4, which I
had watched some of until a New Year’s Eve episode was next. After waiting
until the last week of the previous year to watch that episode, this year is
when I add it back to the list. Shortly thereafter, I finished watching
Farscape season 1 that I was borrowing from a friend. I replaced that with
season one of Dollhouse.
You know, here’s a quick segue
away from the original post. I will mention two completely unrelated things
here. The first is that it is possible that I end up creating a blog about Bob’s
Burgers (a TV series for those that didn’t know) next instead of one about the
CSI franchise. One of those two will probably be created next, but I’m not sure
which path I’m going down just yet. Also, I did a google search of Madam
Secretary blog and was pleased to find the link for this link on page 6 of the
results. Of my other three blogs, I could only find one other one of them
through a google search and the other two I gave up looking for after looking
through a lot of choices.
There’s a reason that I’m
choosing certain TV shows on DVD (or other close enough alternatives) to
replace other things that I’m watching. There’s even an order for me to add
them on the list to which is why they are in that order and not any other
order. I have a lot to add for a while that I won’t have to buy anything new
for myself which can be a mixed blessing.
Now I’m to an interesting part
of my TV on DVD watching habits. You see, it is time for me to add season 2 of
Charmed back to the list. What’s the problem with that? Well, season 6 of
Charmed is still on the list. I don’t want the same letter being on the list at
the same time another letter is on the list so I’m going to alternate between
the seasons when I have to replace something from the list. This will work until
I either reach the Halloween episode of the third season or the end of the
sixth season so that just one will remain on the list. I finished watching Big
Bang Theory season 4 due to constantly rolling the same number over and over
again. Ironically, I didn’t roll this number enough when it represented
Charmed. I am ultimately replacing The Big Bang Theory with Great Nature
videos. Why is that back on the list? I normally wouldn’t start rewatching
something the year that I finished watching something, but more copies of them
turned up so I’ll have to finish watching them again.
I switch back to watching
Charmed season 6 when I finished watching the great nature videos. I replace
those videos with more Bible Specials. Well, there will just be one more of them
compared with the previous number. That was the only other thing besides the
nature videos that I had to add back to the list because it turns out that I
didn’t have all that I could have had of it (if that makes sense).
I switch back to Charmed season
2 when I finish watching the Bible Special. I replace the Bible Special with
Thomas the Tank Engine. Now that’s a complicated one to add. I have a lot of it
and it could remain on the list for a long time. My collection is mostly on VHS
with a few DVDs in the mix. I don’t know a good way to watch them as the
episodes aren’t in any logical order sometimes. Anyways, back when I was a kid,
I decided which one to watch by using a process of eeny-meeny-miny-moe, which
made me discover that the way that I do that game can lead to a predetermined
outcome based on where I start. Regardless, I’m using that method again to
watch all the episodes that I have.
Here’s another thing that
changed: I didn’t remember that there was a Valentine’s Day episode in the
second season of Charmed. Normally, I would wait until Valentine’s Day to watch
it, but I ended up seeing the whole episode. So, I will have to wait to add
season 2 of Charmed back to the list until after Valentine’s Day next year.
This means that I’ll stick with season 6 of Charmed for now.
My friend who had the first
season of Farscape has now lent me the second season of Farscape. I finished
watching the first season of Dollhouse and will lend it to this friend. So I’m
replacing Dollhouse with Farscape, for the moment at least. I also finish
watching through Charmed season 6 and since I don’t have other seasons of
Charmed, I will be replacing it with the first season of 8 Simple Rules. At
this point, I finished watching the first season of NCIS: Los Angeles. I was
going to replace it with Ancient Civilizations, but it turns out that this
isn’t actually what I expected at the two DVDs of it are only previews for it
and not the actual thing itself. Thus, I will replace it with a tape containing
various episodes of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
There is now a point that I
have reached where I will be adding another list of TV shows on DVD since there
are that many others to add all at once. I will, ultimately, mention that list
elsewhere (not in this blog). I will also have to add that list to the current
list over time. So I’ll only mention new shows when I can add them to this list
or combine them into one. I’ll be sure to keep you updated.
Anyways, I have finished
watching Moonlight and replaced that with my VeggieTales VHS collection. That
was from the alternate newer list, originally, but I moved it to this list.
October is fast approaching and I guess that I’ll mention more of the list
later.
So it is now the day that the
new season of Madam Secretary will start. I check my primary CBS affiliate and
see the news which means that there are no sports on it tonight. I check my
secondary CBS affiliate and see a different news. So, that means there will be
no delays tonight on CBS. Awesome. I check FOX and the Rams are playing the
Cardinals. Did you know that the Cardinals used to be in St. Louis? They left
for Arizona prompting St. Louis to get a new team, the Rams. I believe that the
Rams are just barely winning the game at the moment. I check the score again
later. Although it has changed, it is basically still basically the Rams barely
winning. I learn that the final score of the game has the Rams winning. I guess
that’s all the information I have to share about sports this week.
THE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS
BLOG POST BEGINS NOW! Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin
with the vice-president at a golfing game where he gets sick. The president is
out of the country. It turns out that the speaker of the house is with him.
Elizabeth’s staff is working on a song for her to sing: a parody of Billy
Joel’s The Longest Time. She doesn’t feel confident enough to sing it. Henry
learns that one of his students is a closeted gay man and that he works with
Russian intelligence, but this may not work out for him. Meanwhile, when Air
Force One goes missing, the staff gets the president pro temper to become
acting president. They did not let him because that due to memory problems of
his thinking, for instance, that Ronald Reagan was still president. Since the
next in the line of succession is the secretary of state, Elizabeth becomes
acting president. Morgan Freeman, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, gives her
the oath of office. I guess that Morgan Freeman is the first season since
William Howard Taft to be both president and Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. It’s a shame that both of those roles aren’t in the same canon.
In segment two, Stevie, who
changed her hair color, is still sleeping around. This time, she’s with the
president’s son. As long as she picks a single lover, I’d probably be more okay
with that than not. She thinks that he might be using drugs and the president’s
staff comes and takes them away, possibly in regard to what has happened with
Air Force One. Elizabeth gets used to being acting president. She informs her
staff of what is going on.
In segment three, Elizabeth
doesn’t like being called Madam President as she is not really president,
merely acting president. I do wonder what one would be called in that
situation: maybe just their regular name or their current job. But some people
tend to avoid correct terminology. Remember all the times in 2012 when Mitt
Romney was referred to as Governor Romney instead of the more accurate Former
Governor Romney? Anyways, they might have to shoot down Air Force One which is
still on auto pilot, even though it lacks communication with the outside world.
And both of her parents now know about Stevie being with the president’s son.
In segment four, Stevie tells
Henry about the heroin that she has and why she has it. It can only be guessed
that Alison and Jason know this now as well. Elizabeth is upset about a
decision that the president has made. It turns out that the plane is okay and
everyone on board is safe. The only problem was that communication was down and
we don’t know why yet.
In segment five, Elizabeth
tells the president about the person who she freed while she was acting
president. He also explains the choice behind the person that he chose to lead
the NSA. Her staff decides to do the song for her. Am I the only one who
noticed that it was night on Air Force One? Shouldn’t it have been daytime?
What route was it taking? If it was over the North Pole, then this might make
sense. But, we learn that the reason communication was cut off was because of
malware that was somehow put on the plane. Elizabeth declares this an act of
war. The vice-president is also fine, we learn after an unrelated incident.
On the next Madam Secretary, it
looks like there is some sort of international crisis as usual. I’m not sure I
remember/know who the guest star is. Meanwhile, I’m just wondering why there
are always two spaces before the last paragraph when I always write just one
like the rest of the paragraphs. Would not having it create just one regular
gap? I guess it’s annoying, but since I don’t know how to change it and since
it doesn’t affect much of anything then I will just ignore it. I’ll also come
up with better ways of having filler in blogs of mine. For now, this is Adam
Decker, signing off.
