Sometimes I talk about other
shows in the useless introduction to this blog. Well, I’m at it again. Gary
Glasberg, who is the showrunner of NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans, as well as the
creator of NCIS: New Orleans, died during production of NCIS: New Orleans’s
third season and NCIS’s fourteenth season. I doubt this is the first instance
of a showrunner dying during their show’s production, but this is the first
time that I’m familiar with this happening. You do have to wonder how this
would affect both shows. You’d think that both shows would have different
people take over as showrunner for them.
I noticed a recent episode of
NCIS: New Orleans was written by Brad Kern, who was the showrunner of Charmed
from its third season onward. He would make a great showrunner. I don’t know if
the transition for NCIS: New Orleans will be as smooth as it otherwise could
have been if there was a simple replacement. NCIS has already lost its first
two showrunners, although this is likely to be their worst change thus far. I
guess we’ll see what happens with it in the future.
It’s unlikely that I will be
changing any show watching on my list soon, although I will be done with season
one of Dollhouse pretty soon. I am replacing it with season one of Gilmore
Girls, which I’m borrowing from a friend. I just don’t see a change from one
show to another show for quite some time, although I could be finishing them
all around the same time. I just hope that I’m able to roll the choices a lot
as the rolls don’t always go my way.
Now that it is October, this
means that I will be watching any Halloween episodes of certain shows that are
next in line in their order of shows that I’m watching on DVD. This also means
that I will be able to watch any and all Halloween themed episodes that are
next in line as long as it is still this month. So what does all that mean?
Well, let’s start with what I haven’t been able to watch. I was watching the
first season of The Big Bang Theory and stopped before its Halloween episode. I
did the same with the first season of Invader Zim. Interestingly, both of them
are shows that I have to start watching again in future years when I have the
option of adding them again.
There are other potential
things on the list (or waiting to be added to the list) that involve Halloween
related episodes. The first season of Power Rangers which I’m watching has a
Halloween episode. In fact, in might have two, but one aired in May so I’m not
sure it counts. I’ll add Charmed season 2 to the list and the next season has a
Halloween episode. Another future addition to the list is the first season of
NCIS and the fourth season has a Halloween episode. Those are the only ones I
know of where the next holiday related episode of the show is a Halloween one.
I can finally bring you
updates as to some of the football consideration that I was doing. I hope to
have a full ranking of the teams that I will support at the end of this
football season. Anyways, the Colts beat the Bears in that game. I’m still mad
at the Colts for effectively delaying even more the season premiere of NCIS:
Los Angeles, but since they beat the Chargers in that game, at least they rank
ahead of one team. I’m not considering rooting for the Bears long term so this
game is practically meaningless to me. The other game of interest, between the
Chargers and the Raiders, was a win for the Raiders. In all the teams that they
have competed against that I would root for, the Chargers have currently lost
all of them, thus making them a good bottom pick, even if they are still in
contention for me to root for if they aren’t one that I mentioned last blog
post. Hopefully this makes sense.
If I may actually talk about
the show for a moment, I’ve noticed that they are not revealing political
parties in this show for some odd reason. They won’t say what party Elizabeth
and Conrad are from. It seems odd that they wouldn’t reveal their party for
sure. I mean, I was under the impression that these people are actually
Democrats, but they might actually be Republicans instead. Is there any reason
why they haven’t told us what party these people are from? Also, why would
supporting the idea of climate change be a problem, even if you are a
Republican?
As I check for sports, I
notice that neither of the CBS affiliates of mine are showing sports right
before primetime. This means that there is certain to be no delays on that
network today. Well, not in my region at least. FOX is expected to air football
and postgame coverage until 7. The game has the score of Dallas Cowboys 17 and
Green Bay Packers 6 going into the start of the third quarter. Now I normally
can’t see the score on my standard definition TV on FOX football games, but I
do hope to find ways of staying updated and I know where to find it online in
case I miss the final score.
As the game progresses, the
Cowboys gain more points as the Packers retain the same score. It appears that
the Packers are playing poorly this time and the crowd keeps booing them. The
score is now Cowboys 20, Packers 9. I won’t be able to keep up with the game
full time because at six I leave it to watch 60 Minutes. But I will check the
score when I can.
A CBS sports update informs me
that the Cowboys won, although I couldn’t see the final score for long. It will
be nice having the shows air on time on CBS. I check FOX and they have switched
to another game. The Seattle Seahawks are one of the teams playing. I don’t
know who the other team is until they mention that it is Atlanta. Which team
plays in Atlanta? Who is winning? I don’t know just yet. I switch back to 60
Minutes. I don’t catch the end of the
game, but I do look up the score later online. First I’ll tell you about the
older game. The Cowboys won against the Packers 30 to 16. I learn that the team
from Atlanta is the Falcons. Who won that game? The Seahawks won the close
game, 26 to 24.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Henry and Elizabeth talking to the FBI about
what to do regarding the stolen/hacked laptop. Jason is reluctant to change his
hand in his phone. There are problems with a party person who doesn’t like
Conrad running as an independent. He also has some sort of health issue.
In segment two, Jason
continues to be defiant with his phone and password which gets him grounded.
I’ve never been grounded so I have no idea what that’s like or what it means.
Elizabeth goes to Algeria, but things go very badly there. Whatever person they
are talking with ends up executing someone that Elizabeth’s team was trying to
work with.
In segment three, the
situation with Algeria seems bad, but Elizabeth works to fix it. She gets
information from her husband that helps her decide to fly back to Algeria and
work things out. Also, a SWAT team decides to go to Jason’s school after a
report of a kid with a gun surfaces.
In segment four, Elizabeth
delays her trip for a moment in order to check out the situation with Jason.
They suspect that some sort of prank happened. She then flies to Algeria and
decides to go elsewhere then the original plan was. This gets her in trouble
with the foreign leader.
In segment five, we continue
where we left off in the tense Algeria moment. The president of Algeria wants
to arrest Elizabeth and the man she is talking to; only the tables turn on him
and he gets arrested. There is video of a fake bombing by the looks of things.
A note in Jason’s locker makes it seem that whoever did the gun threat can go
after their family at any time.
On the next Madam Secretary, it
appears that there’s another international crisis, this time with people who
might have been taken illegally in some way. I guess that we will find out more
for sure when it airs. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
