This past Sunday, spent the day watching football on the NFL but decided to catch up on television episodes I missed on hulu.com. Catching up with NBC’s “My Own Worst Enemy” starring Christian Slater. It appears I may need to catch this on hulu.com as it competes with my wife’s other favorite show on Monday night “Dr. 90210” (at 10:00 p.m.).
“My own Worst Enemy” features Christian Slater as Henry Spivey/Edward Albright. Henry, a husband and family man during the day and at night, he becomes Edward Albright, a special operative that is trained to kill. Both men share the same body but are totally different people managed by what appears to be some agency.
Unfortunately, something has gone haywire as the switch to change from one person to the other has gone haywire and now at unfortunate times during a hit in another country Edward accidentally reverts to office worker Henry Spivey. Thus both have to work together to stay alive but for Henry, he can’t fathom that all his memories are fake and that his life in the past may not be real at all. And he’s having a difficult time processing that.
I watched the first two episodes in full on hulu.com and they were both awesome. Look forward to catching the third on Tuesday, hopefully it should be on hulu.com.
I then watched some Food Network with “Iron Chef America” and “Dinner: Impossible”. For “Iron Chef America”, Chef Cora took on the challenger Chef Smith (personal chef for Oprah Winfrey and many others) with the ingredient of the day being cheddar. Chef Smith has been a judge on the show but first time as a competitor.
For “Dinner: Impossible”, it was an older episode featuring Robert Irvine. Robert Irvine would take on these crazy jobs making dinner in a short amount of time for nearly impossible situations. Of course, Robert Irvine was fired by the Food Network in February after it was discovered he had lied about past experiences (working for presidents and the royal family). As for Irvine now, you can read his posts on his blog.
Then it was time for “Desperate Housewives” (Season 5, Episode 5 titled “Mirror Mirror”) which finally explains to what happened to each of the four women and their family members before moving up five years later.  Why did Susan divorce? How did Gabby get pregnant? Just so many interesting storylines but an interesting ruse to get one of the neighbors out of the neighborhood. All in all, I really enjoy this season and it’s the first time I find myself wanting to watch the show since season 1.
Speaking of “Desperate Housewives”, Marcia Cross recently appeared on Letterman and she looks absolutely dashing! Even when she appeared in “Melrose Place”, despite the psycho character she played (and it looked like she was going that direction for “Desperate Houswives”), I have always found her quite beautiful.
