Before I begin, I want to thank the twelve of you who stuck around Sunday afternoon to read my Masters final round live blog (both halves). Yesterday was quite a finish to golf's biggest tournament, and I'm glad that you were able to spend it with me. Now then, who's ready for some random thoughts? Anyone? Well, screw you, then, 'cause I'm gonna do it anyway! The following were on my mind between Monday, April 4th and Monday, April 11th:
- Why do all high definition channels seem to always have simultaneously worse sound that standard definition channels?
- The folks at "The Office" hiring a bunch of notable guest stars for their season finale (Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, Will Ferrel, James Spader, Ray Romano, etc.) reminds me a lot of what the folks at "Dexter" did last season. They knew that the show couldn't possibly think of a villain as creepy and as well performed as John Lithgow's Trinity Killer, so they followed it up with a season in which Dexter Morgan had to hunt down a team of five serial killers/rapist. Why do I bring this up? Because it appears that "The Office" showrunner(s) have realized that they can't replace Steve Carell, so they're just going to fill his gaping hole in the season finale (his final episode comes two weeks before) with a sh*tload of guest stars. Hopefully, the show doesn't start copying that model throughout the next couple of post-Carell years.
- The more I watch the ads for the "Arthur" remake starring Russel Brand and Helen Mirren, the more hatred and angry sentiments that I have towards it. Universal, if you're goal was to try to make someone like me become more unlikely to watch it in theaters, then I am proud to say that it worked.
- Since when has every professional writer of the English language seemingly made a truce to stop using the word "mystery" and replacing it with the use of "enigma"? Or am I just suffering a case of the crazies again?
- The more that I've been thinking about Alec Baldwin's surprising news (true or not) that "30 Rock" will wrap up next season, the more I'm actually becoming more lenient towards that possibility. Whereas I've come into agreement that "The Office" can move on without Carell, I don't think that "30 Rock" can possibly survive without the dynamic relationship of Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy. If Alec Baldwin does leave the show in 2012, as he has cited repeatedly, than Tina Fey and company should make the right choice in planning their departure as well.
-I cannot begin to describe how ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" has vastly improved with the departure of Joe Morgan. Such a shame that Bobby Valentine isn't much better.
- Is there a better way to say goodbye to Glenn Beck's weekday afternoon TV show on FOX News than a sequel to Jon Stewart's legendary takedown of the conspirator last year on "The Daily Show"? I say no.
