Can’t remember the last time this happened

I’m going to watch network television two nights in a row.

Tonight on Monday Night Football, it’s the Bo’s Blogging Buddies Bowl, as nhfalcon‘s boys face off against Saintseester‘s boys.  I’m told by a rabid NFL fan at work that it’s probably the Saints’ to lose, but he also suggested the Falcons might hit the ground pissed off after getting pounded in their last game.  We’ll see.  To the degree that I’ve paid attention, which is admittedly not a large one, I’m thinking this might be the year the drought ends in New Orleans.

Tomorrow night is the premiere of the reimagined V.  I was a big fan of both original miniseries—the short-lived, cut-budget, Kenneth Johnson-less weekly series, not so much—and I’m looking forward to seeing what some thoughtful folks and a large budget can do v2009with the idea in 2009.  (The few reviews I’ve read have been highly positive, which is encouraging.  The trailers look good too.)

(And I must tell of my witty wife.)  We were watching a spot for it on TV, and Anna, the leader of the Visitors, is talking to an interviewer just before showtime.  She says “Don’t ask any questions that would portray us negatively.”  Lea immediately asked, “oh, is this about the Obama administration?”

  1. Mine too. (Got ’em, if you ever want to borrow ’em.) 🙂 I also liked Alien Nation a lot. Kenneth Johnson was a cool guy.

    Supposedly in the new V, there shall be occasional inside references for fans of the original franchise.

  2. Loved me some V in the day. Remember the commercials that just showed the letter on a black background and said “V is coming in X days” in a countdown? It was downright viral. I still remember reinacting the ginuea pig scene with my entire elementary school at lunch for a week or so. Jane Badler was teh HAWT!!!

    In a mortality-inducing moment, I was discussing the new V with a co-worker and referenced the original series. He had no idea what I was talking about. I am old.

    nhfalcon: Alas, I didn’t see it all. The fall time change, she isn’t so good for staying up late to watch a football game. 🙂

    BamaDan: Oh man, what a babe. Diana can try to convert me anytime.
