TV TALK – Monday Night Musings: October 13, 2007

My Monday began with WWE Monday Night Raw on the USA Network and as I flipped from watching the matches and watching the New York Giants versus the Cleveland Browns game.

Needless to say that until John Cena returns to “Raw”, I feel like I’ve been anticipating more of the Santino Marella segments and this latest one didn’t disappoint as the segment featured MTV Jackass star Johnny Knoxville.

As for the Giants versus Browns game, I’m just happy to see the Browns received some much needed synergy by beating the Super Bowl champs in this game. Great defensive play from the Browns!

At 7:00 p.m., I then switched to “The Hills” on MTV which featured Spencer Pratt telling his girlfriend Heidi that it’s either him or her sister that needs to move out of the house. Sure enough, Heidi kicks her sister out. The other big scene is when Audrina Patridge and Justin Bobby hang out at the pool and Audrina takes her top off in order to have Justin join her in the pool.

But the hyped “After-show” of “The Hills” which came afterwards was supposedly going to ask Audrina about the much hyped blowup between her and former best friend Lauren Conrad. Supposedly, Lauren and Justin messed around. Lauren has always been grossed out by Justin, so I was quite surprised to see Audrina throw LC under the bus in front of the paparazzi. Of course, the hosts never asked the question which I’m guessing they weren’t allowed to ask that question.

As for the live special guest, it was Spencer Pratt’s sister Stephanie who defended her brother against hundreds of fans who despise Spencer. But I think it was good to see her stickup for her family and give us a little insight of how her family is and also her brother’s love for Heidi. Pratt told the audience that he is so in love with her that if Heidi told her to get tacos in Mexico, Pratt would do just that.

Then I watched the final five minutes of WWE’s Monday Night Raw and a match between Chris Jericho and CM Punk with guest referee Batista. Of course, it’s kind of easy to figure out who wins that.

Then 8:00 I decided to watch “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS. I have to admit that I really love this show! I often miss it but with the DVD box set now out, definitely want to follow up with the series. I dig the geeky humor and the superhero t-shirts.

In this episode, Raj is covered by People Magazine and gets a big head and alienates his friends. But this part of this episode was when Sheldon is forced to smile! This part was so hilarious!

Afterwards, was another favorite show of mine that I rarely am able to catch when it shows on television but on DVD. It’s “How I Met Your Mother” and in this episode, the gang toasts their future and remember their times spent in the apartment before everyone goes their separate ways. Of course, it’s always fun to watch Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris) use his playboy skills in another interesting way to get laid.

Then at 9:00 p.m. it was time to get ready for “HEROES” with its 5th episode “Angels and Monsters”. In this episode, we learn more about Angela Petrelli and her powers but also the introduction of the evil “puppet man”.

Definitely, another exciting episode for the third season and the trailer for next week is just as awesome! Who is good and who is evil? This will be a great episode to watch!

After “HEROES” was the premiere of Christian Slater’s “My Own Worst Enemy” on NBC. So, far so good! And I definitely recommend everyone checking out this series. You can watch it on hulu.com by clicking here.
