Things getting worse on Thursday

Good Morning everyone,
It is an absolutely dreary day here in south Florida. The sky is dark and grey and it is pouring. To top that off, my wife is home sick today. Now, I would normally love it if my wife was home to help take care of the baby but not when she is home sick so I have to take care of her as well. Doesn’t she realize that I have enough to do without having to take care of her also? Relax, just kidding. She has caught what everyone else around here has had. From my kids to my parents and now my wife. I told you yesterday that the jinx is a very powerful tool. I am just waiting for my 2 kids in school to come down with something tonight so I will have to take care of the 4 of them tomorrow. Sigh, a house dad’s work is never done.
Had been planning to do some more holiday shopping today, I like doing it during the week when most people are working, but it seems like that is now out of the question. So, I figured that in between times of taking care of everybody, I’d catch up on my tv shows and try to reduce the tivo hours being stored. I am debating starting a second blog just for television, we will see. I’ll keep you all posted. Anyway, my daily ritual is to watch Letterman from the night before followed by Craig Ferguson. Can’t watch them at night since it is on too late and I have to get up early to take care of the little one. I’ve said it before but I will reiterate, I know that Leno and Conan are more popular than these two but in no way better. Letterman cracks me up day after day. Today he had on Regis who is a great interview period. I did find a little fault with Letterman as he had kid scientists on last night and I guess his humor is acerbic sometimes and I thought for sure he was going to make the two boys cry. As for Ferguson, I enjoyed him on the Drew Carey Show, but you never saw his real persona. I find the guy charming, engaging and witty. I think Conan has good routines but many times his interviewing style seems forced and stilted whereas Ferguson seems to talk easily and conversationally. As for Leno, what can I say? I am a big Letterman fan from way back and I used to enjoy Leno. I know it’s silly, but I guess I hold it against Leno for the “taking” of the Tonight Show away from Letterman. I guess I took sides but I do think Leno’s funny and quick-witted but also can be a kiss-up to celebrities. I think I just find Letterman’s style funnier. To each his own.
Now, one last thing before I go. I know regular readers are familiar with my weekly LOST rants. I am sorry but I was watching DAYBREAK just now and they always show a clip of the upcoming season of LOST during the commercials and it reminded me again, How could they take LOST off the air until February? It still makes no sense and it killed me with last night’s teaser how the flight attendant was in on it. (Something that I had guessed previously). The show has to get back on now! By the way, I am enjoying DAYBREAK also. I also find it gripping to see the plot twists, although I do have one problem(other than the possibility of the show being cancelled before the answers are revealed). I am the type who likes to read the various message boards to look for clues in things and ABC has not put one up for DAYBREAK. First of all, that is a very bad sign to me about the long term viability of the program, and two, I like to speculate about the plot along with other fans. It is part of the fun for me. Television has changed now, it is much more interactive and ABC is not giving a forum to do that. I hope things change but I am not hopeful. One more by the way, I think Kate is in it with the Others on LOST.
Until Later,
Jonathan
