Episode from 11-15-2015

You know, were it not for a dream about me having a blog about this show and an OCD habit of mine, I might have never created this blog. Then I created one about The Good Wife and will create one about CSI: Cyber because of tape delay. Meanwhile, I might create a blog about Bob’s Burgers in the future due to a dream about having a blog about it.

Here’s a paragraph that I felt was worth posting in multiple blogs. On the 13^th of November (which was incidentally a Friday for all you superstitious people) a bad event happened. There were terrorist bombings in France. The news talked about how this could affect football games over the weekend. It could also potentially affect various programs on TV. While it doesn’t matter in the long run if shows are affected due to current events, I will keep an eye out for potential changes in these blogs.

Will sports be affected? While I’m still hoping for a lack of a delay in the future, this is not the reason why I want there to be no delay. I don’t like it when things cut into programming that I watch, but I hate terrorist attacks way more than that. I doubt that they would have canceled any of the football games in America. There was probably heighted security, but if we cancel things than the terrorist have won. Actually, they already won by having their attacks be successful. I’ll be sure to check to see whether or not there is football or some other type of delay for this episode or any in the near future.

I check my secondary CBS affiliate. They are airing a doubleheader on CBS today. But are both of my affiliates airing the same game? We’ll see. I was unable to see any of the game at the moment, but I believe that Denver is one of the teams. So they are still airing sports. I don’t know if I’ll watch any of 60 Minutes tonight to try to get more information that they might have about the terrorist attack. I’ve already gotten plenty of information about it.

I check my FOX affiliate and they are showing football. The Raiders are one of the teams playing. Unlike CBS, I can never tell who the teams are at what the score is without a hi-def TV. Honestly, the only reason I’d get one of those at the moment is so that I can get and use a blue-ray VCR combo player with it. And I wouldn’t even be using that for any blue-ray reasons. The Raiders are playing the Vikings. The game here is expected to end at 6, although if it doesn’t, then they’ll probably just preempt the planned Simpsons rerun. I might have to find the score by looking at the crawl on the screen of the CBS game or games. I should look at that, but I’ll wait until a commercial for now.

I check my primary CBS affiliate and they are airing a game against the Denver Broncos and the team from Kansas City. The Broncos are being shut out at the moment, meaning that the team from Kansas City is winning. Both CBS affiliates of mine are airing the same game.

I miss a lot of both games as I do other stuff around the house. I finally think that I caught the score. The Vikings are winning the FOX game, I think. Meanwhile, on CBS, the Kansas City team has scored more points at the Broncos still have none. I forget what teams besides Denver’s have reputations for being bad teams. I doubt already that this game will end on time, unless they cut off the game in my region, which could happen due to a shutout. It’s nearly six and we are still in the 3^rd quarter.

The crawl on CBS shows that the Vikings are winning the game against the Raiders on FOX. I don’t know if that game is over just yet. I really hope that they don’t show all of this game on CBS. Although, things may work out well for me if CSI: Cyber is preempted entirely. Of course, I’m starting a blog about it either way. But this game is certainly running very slowly. And one of the teams hasn’t even scored a point. Will they? I don’t think that they can turn things around this game.

They are still airing the game on FOX, meaning that it isn’t over just yet. According to the epg, I have seen this Simpsons episode. I’m getting a bit bored with the game on CBS, but I also need to see if I can get the tape delay right by seeing the end of the game. Although, I doubt that I’ll see the end of it. I’ll just have to check to see what the score is whenever I can. Hopefully I can catch when the game is over and when Madam Secretary starts.

I finally learn that the team from Kansas City is called the Chiefs. They are the team that is winning by a lot. I’m not sure of the FOX game at all. I think that the Vikings are still winning, but things could possibly change. Plus, the schedule could get messed up if the game cuts into Bob’s Burgers. Meanwhile, I have never once understood what the OT stands for. It airs after sports games on FOX but I don’t know what it means. Does it mean anything at all?

Honestly, I’m probably more interested in football than I think that I am. While the only football game that I might have seen from start to finish was the Super Bowl and it’s unlikely that I’ll ever watch a whole game from start to finish, it is the end of the game that is surely very interesting. And that’s coming from someone who has never seen a game turn around at the end.

The game must have ended on FOX since they are getting to The Simpsons. They aren’t going to show a whole episode. They are going to do the intro, then more commercials (after following commercials that happened after the game) and then they’ll cut into where the show should be. I will check the crawl on CBS to confirm which team did win the game. Now why are they airing a Christmas episode of Bob’s Burgers already? Are they that convinced already that there will not be time to air it during December? Do they have to air the episodes in a predetermined order? While nice when things air in order, you wouldn’t think that it would affect a show like Bob’s Burgers to air it out of order.

Now that I’m done talking about Madam Secretary (get it? Out of order? Never mind). In all seriousness, the game on CBS is still going on. Other CBS games are going on other networks which is evident by the fact that one of mine just switched to a Patriots versus Giants game. They must be switching to a more interesting game. My other CBS affiliate has switched games as well. The Patriots are just barely winning this game. It is almost over unless there is overtime. I still don’t know if the other game that they were showing will affect CSI: Cyber and possibly preempt it. I will admit that this game is far more interesting and doubt that either affiliate of mine will return to the Chiefs/Broncos game. In a way, I feel sorry for the two affiliates that will have to show the whole game. But will they be the only ones?

I apologize to anyone by all this football talk that I’m doing. If you are interested in just the Madam Secretary part of this post, then you should know where to start. I should really include the sentence, “But enough of my ramblings” that I use in my primary blog (that I actually created second and care about more than any other blog). I switch to Bob’s Burgers in the meantime.

The score is unchanged on CBS with the Patriots still barely winning. It appears that the Chiefs are more than likely the de facto winner of their game against the Broncos as I really don’t see how they can turn things around. Meanwhile, I’m guessing that the Vikings won their game against the Raiders, although I probably don’t care enough to check the score.

Looking at the CBS game again, it looks like the Giants have turned things around and are now winning. There is not much time left on the clock. Will the Giants win? Boy it’s getting down to the wire. It could be either team winning that game. I ultimately don’t know which team won after the game ended. Sorry about that. But I have to get to my Sunday shows.

I realize that this is part of my delayed posts with old VHS episodes. Well, I honestly don’t know the order that I’m posting things in as I have yet to post any of this season’s episodes on my blog just yet. But I will. And you’ll see this at some point. I googled the scores of the football games today and found out that the Vikings did in fact win. I’m not surprised to learn that the Chiefs beat the Broncos, but I am surprised that the Broncos got as many points as they did. Meanwhile, the close game that I missed the ending of has the Patriots winning. Their last ditch efforts to win must have worked.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 56 minute delay. We begin with police and black people having an issue in the past. People are ready to welcome Cubans into America. They open an embassy for it. Alison was in a car accident.

In segment two, people talk about the various events going on. People are trying to track the potential votes.  They are trying to lift the embargo on Cuba. There’s a lot of political talk going on as they work to restore relations with Cuba. Alison doesn’t want to go to Cuba with her father. They keep going to different people to talk about potential votes. I’m still wondering what the first part has to do with it, but it is probably related to the murder they are talking about that could potentially affect the Cuba vote that’s in the future.

In segment three, they discuss the prisoner that they want transferred here. There are constantly family issues with the McCords before this trip to Cuba. Elizabeth talks with a person about the upcoming vote. She’s still encountering problems.

In segment four, more things are discussed as Elizabeth talks to a person who relates to the case from earlier. She wants the person to turn herself in. Henry gets annoyed by Alison’s social media use. Nadine fake cries her way into information. Henry opens up to Alison about the death of his student.

In segment five, Elizabeth goes over the speech she is going to say. They bring in two people who lowered the flag the last time the Cuban embassy was used. They will begin a new chapter with Cuba. Was the issue resolved with the person they wanted arrested? It looked like she might get a new trial. This was a pretty interesting episode for me to get caught up on since it doesn’t relate to those that I’ve seen after it but I get caught up on the episode regardless. It looks like the person they wanted is now back in the US. She has supporters wanting her freed. Then there was a confusing ending to this episode. Does that make sense?

On the next Madam Secretary, there’s a cyber war with Russia going on. It’s hard to tell for sure what is going on. I do have one other old episode to watch on VHS right now. Maybe it contains more information. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
