Season Finales…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

With the exception of House, every show has ended for the summer. So here are my TV season finale thoughts… Criminal Minds – Amazing finale. My wife called it, that they would end the season bringing that freak Frank back. It was great. This could be the most underrated show on TV. The Office – Out of control. The last 10 seconds had me laughing uncontrollably. CSI – This would the CSI of the Las Vegas variety (I don’t watch the other 2). Great finale. They’ve been building this story line up all season long. I’ve been watching CSI since … Read More

Tonight’s premiere of 24 – OMG!!!!! Jack is a beast! I was amazed when Jack went Lost Boys on that guy! Dr. Bashir as the pseudo bad guy was a good move. Wayne Palmer as president! Out of hand! The show reminded me why it’s the best show on TV!

Rockin’ It Old School

I got home this evening and I had a package waiting for me. I had ordered the Schoolhouse Rock! DVD with all 46 songs ever made. It’s awesome! I’m excited to show this DVD to my 7-year old niece! I learned so much with these songs: – Like how a bill becomes a law – How to multiply by 3 – What a conjunction is – The American Revolution – Electricity – The value of zero (My hero) Good times!

American Idol Finale and other LA stuff

I didn’t watch the finale. It’s weird: American Idol is recorded live in LA, but people in LA don’t get to watch it until 3 hours later. Anyone else find that weird? Anyway, I was shocked to learn that Taylor Hicks won! I thought he outperformed Katherine, but I thought she was going to win anyway. And to think that Simon wasn’t going to send Taylor to Hollywood. Hello! Although Simon did have the best line of the season after a Taylor Hicks performance: “Taylor, are you drunk?” I’m sorry, but that was hilarious. I like Pacific time, I think. … Read More

Outrage!

Chris Daughtry gone! Are you kidding me? I’m sorry, but Chris had the goods. I think this dude can sell records. Once again, I refer to several comments that I have made: America doesn’t know anything about music! We live in a country where people think P. Diddy is a musical artist. America, it’s time to “Just say no” to the crack you’re smoking! I loved this guy’s passion, the fact that he was a family man who wanted to do right by his wife and kids. This is the American dream. My only comfort is that he’s still going … Read More

American Idol

I thought the Idols did well tonight. My prediction is that Paris will be going home. Taylor surprised me with how well he did. Katherine’s 2nd song was much better than the 1st. I don’t know if Phil Collins was the right choice, but she’s going to be at the finale. Chris was great! Both songs were really good. The first song was better, but both were great. He will also be there at the finale. My wife voted for him about a dozen times. Paris’s version of Kiss by Prince was really good. I wasn’t into the Mary J. … Read More

Weekly American Idol Musings

Bob FranquizUncategorized

5 Thoughts about American Idol. Here we go: #1 – Mandisa was one of the best singers in the competition. That she got voted off before Bucky is an insult. #2 – Bucky was in his “Country Zone” and still didn’t sing well. Why you might ask? Because he’s not that good of a singer. I hope he does “Who wants to live forever?” (From the Highlander movie soundtrack). #3 – Who wants to hear someone do the theme song from Flash Gordon? “Flash…..AAAAAAHHHHHH!” That would rule! I would vote for that person just out of principle. #4 – Another … Read More

The Top 10

Alright, after watching American Idol last night, here are my reactions: Overall, this was their worst performance collectively! It seemed like an off night for everyone. Lisa – You’re going home! She has a good voice, but she need to develop it further. Simon was right. The song was too big for her. Kelly – I didn’t get it. #1 – I can’t stand country music. #2 – you have to pick songs that showcase your voice. #3 – I hate country music. Ace – Lame! I love Train, but that was a train wreck! Taylor – It was OK. … Read More
