The following video is not one of my own, nor is it anything I am related to in any way, except that I loved it and always forget where it is or how to find it, so I posted it here for reference when I want to show it to somebody else. It is not only a hilarious video worth watching...

Police must be pissed at TV murder shows
Pause & Blog | Inspired by TV, pausenblog, TV Inspired, vanilla
One of my favourite genres of Television for the past few years, is the murder show. The hour long dramas that come on at 9 or 10pm and start with a discovery of the body scene. I've blogged before about those scenes, and I still wonder if they are written and sold...
Blipverts for 2016. Fast Forward Marketing
Pause & Blog | Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
In the 1987 TV series Max Headroom, which apparently took place 20 minutes into the future, a lot of technology was displayed. One of the neat idea that stucjk with me over the years was the "Blipverts". These were a new format TV commercial on Network 23 that...

It's Monday, and that's a bit later than usual for me to watch this past weekend'd Saturday Night Live. It's been a pretty consistent Sunday morning ritual, but toady I was a day late. Â The first thing I noticed when they said Big Dick and it really looked like he...

Dream Universe, Pause & Blog | Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
I just finished watching the ABC Fall Preview and writing a blog review elsewhere. I find my PVR has also recorded the Global TV Fall Preview too, and since I'm in the writing mood, I decide to check it out. In Canada, Global TV is one of the big networks but it buys...

It's the weekend before all the new shows of the fall start to appear on the TV schedule, and so I decided to sit down and watch the ABC Fall Preview episode. Since I started my medication Tom lessen my obsessive tendencies, I watch a lot less TV than I used to. I...

Agents of Shield – Birdkillers
Pause & Blog | Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
I was watching this week's episode of Agents of Shield and an evil genius has rounded up a bunch of criminally insane super Villains, like so many comic books plots from history. An ugly man takes off his BAIN type face mask and yells a loud screen in the middle of a...
Pauseandblog : I Zombie
Pause & Blog | Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
iZombie is a new show on The CW. I like the comic book style credits they use to do scene transitions and some effects that would be too costly to work out. It's a great idea. It makes me believe this may be based on a comic. I didn't bother to look up whether it is...
SNL Layers

I just finished watching this week's 2014 Christmas edition of Saturday Night Live. It's odd to feel cheated that hardly any celebrities showed up this year. The only cameos were three former SNL Characters - so far anyway. The demographically perfect boy band One...

It's Thanksgiving Monday as I write this, and I've taken it as a day off from work, so I am treating it like a Sunday. Typically Sunday has been the day if the week I watch some TV. I try my best to keep a balanced diet of television variety, which includes hour long...

Every once in awhile when I'm watching a television show, and my mind thinks ahead and figures out how it's going to end, it makes me remember my dad. My memories of him have pride attached. Like a good son, I looked up to him, and respected how smart he was, and how...
The Highlander – 2014 Doctor Edition
Dream Universe, General Blog Messages | daily, GIVEIT100.com, Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
A few summers ago, during the slow summer season when hardly anything new is on TV, I started binge watching The Highlander series every day on one of those obscure higher package cable channels. I have always been a fan of time travel stories, and although immortals...

It's new TV week. I sat down this evening to watch and review the new network TV show about Mrs. Clinton called Madam Secretary. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3501074/ It's probably not really about Hilary although the main star looks a lot like a younger version of...

Robot Chicken Social School
General Blog Messages | daily, GIVEIT100.com, Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
Sometimes, educational TV takes a different approach. It teaches us important life lessons, and helps us socialize. There is a TV show on every night that I strongly recommend everyone watches. Each episode is only 15 minutes, but the lessons it delivers is essential...
Bully Laughs

Sometimes, I feel guilty over laughing at comedy. A lot of it is mean. The mean stuff often makes me laugh, despite the understanding that a real person is the butt of the joke. Comedy often attacks real people. I believe there is a law that lets them rip apart...

I've been watching a TV show called perception, which in many ways is just another in the long line of buddy cop shows that have come along in the past three years. You've no doubt seen at least one odd pairing of police, FBI or CSI and their helpful, off the books...
Pauseandblog: The Dead Body Reveal
General Blog Messages | Inspired by TV, TV Inspired, vanilla
TV inspires me to pause and blog often. I used to enjoy watching TV with someone, so we could pause and chat, but now that I live alone this is my compromise. I share with my blog. Today I watched the opening pre-title scene of a recent NCIS episode. (Yes, maybe that...

Wow. A lot of people smoked this week on TV. On Saturday Night live, at least three times. On Hero's, MAD TV, and on Studio 60. People I'd never seen smoking were smoking.I wonder who paid who.
