Since it is October, that
basically makes it Halloween month to me. Well, me and a lot of other people.
So will I be able to watch various Halloween episodes that I have to watch next
in order on the stuff that I’m watching on DVD? Well, I was able to watch one
of them, but I’m not sure that I can reach any of the others in time. We’ll see
what happens with that. I was able to watch the 8 Simple Rules Halloween episode
that the first season has. Can I get other episodes related to holidays watched
at the right time? We’ll see if that happens or not. Meanwhile, I’m wondering
how I’ll keep this blog and my Good Wife blog updated at good times when I have
one more post for that blog than this one. It’s possible that I could always
use my TV tuner to record an episode of this show while I use a VHS to record
an episode of that show. That would even things out temporarily. I just know
that this show would have to have one more episode than that show for things to
even out for a while.
I check my FOX affiliate and
am confused at what they are airing as it doesn’t match the epg. But I don’t
think that they are airing sports at this time. I check my primary CBS
affiliate and they are showing a game between the Green Bay Packers and the San
Diego team that is currently tied. I tune into my secondary CBS affiliate and
they are showing the same game. Since they are still on the third quarter, this
does not look hopeful for the game ending at a good time. But, it could look
good for the creation of a future blog, should the delay be an hour or longer.
Is a player in the game really expecting an eighth child? Well, his wife is.
FOX is now showing what it
said it would be airing at this time. This probably means that their shows will
be normally airing with no sports from 6-7. Sport games are always shown to
their competition (expect in certain regions where they know the game can’t be
turned around to the losing team) so people will know what the final score is.
There have been some mistakes or intentional removals every now and then. Like
one time, I saw them move a sports show to a cable channel except on the west
coast. I’m not sure why they did that, but it probably pissed off people who
didn’t have that channel on the east coast. Say what you will about sports
delays, at least they never screw advertisers, even if that means screwing
viewers. At least people with DVR should know by now to expect this and plan
ahead.
Neither of my ABC affiliates
are coming in at the moment. It’s a shame too. I like Quantico, but I’ve only
been able to see the first episode so far. Also, I’m tired of always missing
Once Upon a Time. Meanwhile, I’m into every CBS and FOX show. Good thing that I
can record shows to watch later while watching something else live. And, I
don’t mind missing 60 Minutes or Bob’s Burgers when it doesn’t work in the
schedule. Why is the game running this long?
I switch to FOX to watch Bob’s
Burgers at 6, although I think I missed the first act. Green Bay is now winning
the game. Also, I’m not going to mention what team is the only football team
that I root for as that would reveal local things about me. I live in Central
time zone. That’s all you need to know. You don’t need to know where in Central
time zone I live. Also, the epg is wrong and they are not showing Bob’s Burgers
right now. I’m not interested in whatever it is they are showing. It looks like
The Grinder, but I could be wrong about it.
There’s still no ABC for me to
watch. I’m hoping that it improves by 7. What’s the name of the San Diego team?
I don’t think that I know the names of all the football teams. The score has
changed, but the Packers are still winning. Also, it looks like some CBS
affiliates are airing a different game that will probably end sooner. That
won’t affect the possible creation of a blog for me as it has to be my
affiliates that are airing different delays in order for this to work. I wonder
if I’m more interested in football than I think that I am. I say that my
interest only lasts from 6 Central on Sundays until the game ends, but I might
be more interested than that. I just hope that I’m not boring the reader of
this blog.
How do they do the scoring in
football games anyways? It seems weird to me. I’d look it up, but probably not
understand it. I mean, I couldn’t even understand Backyard Football, although
we did get and play other Backyard sports games at this house of mine. I think
that we might still have some, but I’m not sure. I doubt that we could play
them on the new computers that we have. The other game has ended so I don’t
know how that could be affecting shows in their regions. Maybe they’ll just air
at the planned 30 minute delay. But I still don’t know if they can get in the
rest of this game here on my local affiliate at a good time. The game is pretty
close.
At 6:30, they are airing last
year’s Halloween episode of The Simpsons. It seems a bit early to air Halloween
episodes like they are planning this year. Couldn’t they wait until next week?
Well, I guess there’s the World Series which could potentially be interesting
if the Cubs are in it. (It would be interesting regardless of who’s in it. Some
of the teams have never even been in the playoffs before, if my information is correct.)
Also, the name of San Diego’s team is the Chargers. I’ll have to remember that
in the future. The score has changed and the Packers are still winning. There
just might be some luck of this ending before 7, but I’m not sure if it will or
not.
I find out that while they are
airing a Halloween Simpsons episode, it isn’t a Treehouse of Horror special.
Has this ever happened before? This seems unprecedented. Does this mean that
there won’t be a Treehouse of Horror this year or will this replace it this
year?
There might be some hope for
ABC coming in this week after all. Meanwhile, I’m almost certain that shows on
CBS where I live will be on an hour long delay or close enough to it. That
means that they’ll probably be no new CSI: Cyber. The game ends with the
Packers winning. There’s then the obligatory four minutes of commercials before
the start of 60 Minutes. I just don’t see them airing CSI: Cyber this week,
unless they are randomly airing a dumb rerun at a really late time. Remember
when they aired a Mentalist rerun at a 59 minute delay?
I might miss the beginning of
this episode due to the delay being weird. But, since it is a good enough
delay, I won’t be isolating it to VHS and will be able to watch it live, unlike
last week’s episode. (Well, I won’t watch it live, but I’ll be able to keep up
with it easier and record it on my laptop as I typically would.) I still don’t
know about a new blog or not. If they air a rerun or no episode at all, then I
will create one about CSI: Cyber. But I don’t know yet if I will. I just hope
that I figure out what time the delay was at.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by 58 minute delay. We begin with the death of a notable figure in some
country, Russia, I think. Jason gets all good grades on his report card. He
uses this to ask permission to try out for the football team. The death of the
person gets people in Henry’s class talking as some of them are from that area.
This seems to be the point of the episode thus far.
In segment two, we have all of
Elizabeth’s team in Russia. Why do they all have to be there? I’m not sure. A
girl tricks one of her staff into taking a picture with a man who is evil in
some way. Is this anything like the Jane Fonda controversy? I still don’t
understand why that was such a big deal. I don’t think that I’ll ever know why
people hate her. And if you see a chain email about her, most of it isn’t true.
I do wonder why some random things are even controversies.
In segment three, there’s more
of the tent in the building that keeps out spy stuff or something like that.
People try to figure out how to solve the picture situation. Jason wants to
play football in order to make friends at his new school. There’s also a random
Russian person in trouble.
In segment four, the Russian person
in trouble is someone that Henry is investigating as he is a student in his
class. Remember that Henry is NSA. You know, as long as you have nothing to
hide, is it a problem for the NSA to spy on us? Well, they knew I was going to
say that. Anyways, the widow of the Russian leader is convinced that Elizabeth
and her team are working with people from Ukraine. You know, since this show is
in a different reality than our world, it is interesting how they have the same
problems. So there might be further problems regarding this outside of this
episode. Also, there are problems with the subtitles, it appears.
In segment five, it doesn’t
seem like much of the Russia issue is resolved, so they will probably get back
to that in future episodes. There is something up with the student, but we
can’t tell just what yet. Henry goes to confession about that. Maybe it’s the
Lutheran in me, but I’ve never understood the point of these private
confessionals. Also, the guy who caused a problem now stands up to the guy with
the dog. You know which guy: the douche bag. The problem with the air force one
airplane has more information revealed about it. It turns out that the hack was
a big problem and a warning sign of what could come in the potential future.
Where was it that this problem had happened at?
On the next Madam Secretary, it
appears that the romance between Stevie and the president’s son will come to
light. Who revealed it? What purpose with this serve on the show? And will be
resolved in just one episode? Those questions might be answered next time, some
other time, or not at all. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
