We missed it . . .but l guess life does go on . . .

In the transition with moving to a new house, we had to cancel are cable t.v., which also meant we were basically without any local channels too. I have been completely out of the loop as far as news goes. For all I know, Brittney Spears could have announced her candidacy for president.

We've also not been able to keep up on some shows that one or both of us watch. We finally got cable back up (satellite this time . . .which is much cheaper), but the move has made us miss quite a bit.

Survivor - We missed last season, but got back into it this season. Watched pretty much every episode. But then missed a couple, then realized on a Monday that the previous night was the season finale. Oh well. (for those that watched, and not many did, Earl won; we were hoping for Yau-Man).

American Idol - Last night was the final, but I was out mowing my lawn, which desperately needed be done. Tonight is the finale where the winner will be announced, but this is also Dorene's concert at her school. So, even though we've basically watched every episode since January, we'll have missed the final two episodes.

24 - I missed the last seven episodes and then was able to catch the last half-hour of the season finale on Monday. Wow, they need to get this show back on track. I felt I was watching some kind of soap opera. Bill and Karen have their life back, Chloe gets domesticated, and Jack tearfully confesses his love for his girlfriend. It was the lamest closing this series has ever had. They need to retool for next year.

NBA Playoffs - Completely missed the Suns drive through the playoffs, which yet again was cut short. I would like to see Utah and Cleveland in the final, because neither team has ever won it all. I'll probably be able to tune in for the finals.

NHL Playoffs - Yeah right, like anyone in the country is watching these. I heard that a dramatic overtime game on Saturday was cut short as the network switched over to pre-race coverage of the Preakness. When talk about a horse race an hour away trumps coverage over an overtime playoff game, you know a league is in trouble.
