TiVo Watch: Saturday Edition

Published on 02 Feb 2008 in doctor who, television and torchwood. 0 Comments

Tonight is all about the Who-niverse for me.

Doctor Who [BBC America]

The Doctor has a new travelling companion, Martha Jones. In tonight's Doctor Who (7PM CST), Martha and The Doctor must rescue William Shakespeare.

For Martha's first trip in the Tardis, the Doctor takes her back in time, to Elizabethan England. When they find William Shakespeare (Dean Lennox Kelly) under the control of deadly witch-like creatures, they must battle forces from the dawn of the universe to stop history being changed for ever.

Torchwood [BBC America]
The more I watch this show, the more in love I fall with it. And I am not alone. Torchwood (8PM CST) is BBC America's biggest hit ever.

Aliens walk the Earth - sleeper soldiers preparing to invade the world. Jack and the team investigate, after a burglary goes horribly wrong.

Hat Tip: Torchwood TV for the episode description. This is really my favorite fan site for this growing hit.

TiVo Watch: Saturday Edition

Published on 25 Jan 2008 in television, torchwood and trading spaces. 0 Comments

On Saturday night, my TiVo and I have plans. Two of my favorite shows return (one just to its former glory) to help take the edge off the writers' strike. My fingers are crossed that the AMPTP and the WGA are working it out right now.

Torchwood [BBC America]

Torchwood, the Dr. Who spinoff starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, is my second favorite sci-fi show after Battlestar Galactica. It is a lighter, campier version of the X-Files where the aliens and the monsters are in full view. The second season begins this Saturday at 8PM CST. And James Marsters, Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and ANGEL, joins the cast in a recurring role.

Trading Spaces [TLC]

Paige Davis is back on Trading Spaces starting this Saturday at 9PM CST on TLC.

I used to love this show. I never missed an episode. But when Paige was fired and a parade of designers I didn't know starting showing up I lost interest. Paige's return along with Doug Wilson and Laurie Hickson-Smith (two of my favorite designers from the early days) will get me back.

Democrats say McCain nearly abandoned GOP

Bob Cusack @ The Hill: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was close to leaving the Republican Party in 2001, weeks before then-Sen. Jim Jeffords (Vt.) famously announced his decision to become an Independent, according to former Democratic lawmakers who say they were involved in the discussions.

Hope!!

Dee @ Conservatism With Heart: First of all, Reaganism and Conservatism is not dead. Lets not get over dramatic and go this far. It may not win this election cycle but it will rear its head again in 2012.

Fixing the Primary System

Slublog @ Slublog: I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of having my choices limited by the voters of two states. It's time to fix the process and make it more representative. Voters in later primary states should have a chance to make some impact on the entire field of candidates, not just who is chosen by a small pool of voters.

Why Should We Shut Up?

Rush @ Rush Limbaugh: Now the people on the McCain bandwagon are telling those of us who aren't on the McCain bandwagon, to shut up. Just be quiet. We are supposedly damaging the Republican Party.

Grim Choices Confront GOP

Rick Moran @ Right Wing Nut House: The GOP is a broken party.
