O Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay!
Posted by Frank J. at 04:39 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (22)

Guess who's going to be watching 24 in widescreen tonight?

That's right - me! I got my rear-projection TV back. Now I don't need you losers for nut'n! Bwa ha ha ha!

Just don't remind me about the repair bill...

You know, I just couldn't get into 24 this season. I think the continuous introduction of new crises evey other episode just started to wear me down.

The first season I was like "Wow! What a terrible and dramatic day! Great television!" The second season had me going "Gosh, another day of continuous disaster. Well ... okay. Elisha Cuthbert is still hot." And then this season I watched three episodes and finally said "They have stretched this theme past the point of credibility. I will go play Civ III and conquer the evil communist Chinese instead of watching 24. But Elisha Cuthbert is still hot".

Anyway, 'grats on the return of your HDTV. May there be much gunplay and lots of scantily-clad actresses for your entertainment.

I have a bet with my roommate that the baby ends up taking Kim hostage. I'm betting on the cougar from season 2.

I am in the contest, hahahaha. Frank get ready for some actually work on your part!!!

Another couple seasons and the kind of silliness MD2020 mentions won't be too far off.

It really is a shame, because they had a great concept with 24-hour "real time" thing. They could have kept making new seasons of the show, too, they just needed to change the story and characters each time. Instead of creating these unlikely situations that keep happening to the same people, they should have just come up with an entirely different show each season; they could have done a military one (maybe a squad of Marines trying to escape from behind enemy lines), a hijacked airliner one, a corporate espionoge one, etc... Keep the cool format, but change the story and characters to keep things fresh.

Man, the TV people should hire me as a consultant. I'd make television so interesting that this country would be rid of it's reading problem forever.

I have to bet that the baby takes Kim to the cougar, the true mastermind of the virus plot.

Glad you can watch in comfort frank.

#5 - Posted by: tommy on February 17, 2004 05:26 PM

Frank, how much did it cost? (So I know how much to donate to your site of course.)

Don't do it, it's a trick!

Television is designed to introduce you to the hollywood ideal, which is extremely liberal. They sneak into your home in the guise of exciting stories and flashy gun shoot-outs. It's all a scam to get their hollywood evil into your home.
Be careful Frank. Be careful all of you.

#8 - Posted by: LibertyBob on February 17, 2004 06:21 PM

About $430, but I'm going to see if I can find someone liable on this. The Monster Surge Protector was supposed to ensure against this (up to $150,000).

#9 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 17, 2004 06:32 PM

But Frank! American Idol is on tonight!

#10 - Posted by: jonag on February 17, 2004 06:37 PM

Don't worry, jonag, they're on the same channel, so they clearly don't conflict.

And Frank, whatever you do, just don't think about that repair bill. And how all of your t-shirt profits just went out the window. And everyone else, BUY HIS T-SHIRT!
(you haven't said that in a while, Frank, so I thought I'd do it for you.)

#11 - Posted by: Brian on February 17, 2004 07:03 PM

So, Frank, did you get the surge protector replaced too?

#12 - Posted by: LibertyBob on February 17, 2004 07:38 PM

LibertyBob, you have a valid (& serious) point! TV watching is the liberal's way of invasion. Shoot your TV, and go outside & contemplate you navel or something. Breath fresh air, look at stars, whatever. Just DON'T watch the accursed thing! It'll rot yer brain. And besides, ever see what a .44 mag will do to a cathode ray tube?

#13 - Posted by: doubletrouble on February 17, 2004 08:16 PM

$430 is a small price to pay for such a total emersion in selfishness. The repair god will be here to fix mine on friday--the same day by chance that I get my big, fat, tax return! Screw the LLL and their dogooder causes; I'm watchin Big Screen with a full Sony Surround Sound!!!!!!

#14 - Posted by: stevieboy on February 17, 2004 09:17 PM

I hope you skipped American Idol. Sheesh, it was bad.

#15 - Posted by: jonag on February 17, 2004 11:13 PM

Gloat all you want now, Frank! One day your power will go out AGAIN and you'll be griping yet again! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!... Glad you have your system up and running. Hook up a DVD and slip in 'We Were Soldiers' You won't regret it!... Red.

#16 - Posted by: L. C. Red Ruffansore on February 18, 2004 12:02 AM

how much was the bill?

sorry

#17 - Posted by: on February 18, 2004 12:57 AM

did they tell you what was wrong with it?

#18 - Posted by: on February 18, 2004 12:58 AM

wow...430!! that would be about 341 euros here!! what the heck did you do, hammered your TV while watching Hillary Clinton? (sorry for reminding you both "Bill" and Hillary....)

#19 - Posted by: Fabrizio on February 18, 2004 01:26 AM

D00d. WTF? Repair bill? You should have purchased your tv from Costco, as all decent Americans do. Then, there wouldn't BE a repair bill, because you can just return it for a refund when it goes out, and buy a replacement with all that money you just got put into your hot little hands.

Sheesh. Posts like this make me wonder about your ability to fight ninja monkey democrats.

#20 - Posted by: Eichra Oren on February 18, 2004 12:34 PM

Losers huh? Guess I'll just take IMAO off my favorites list.

#21 - Posted by: Jamie on February 18, 2004 07:23 PM

Speaking of 24 - did anyone watch last night??? What a great episode!
