Tuesday night we were subjected to a rerun on “Lost.” All the momentum that had built up as the mysterious show with way more questions than answers rolls to its May 23rd finale? Gone!
And we continue to be lost!
From the mouths of “babes”
First, my #1 son: “What is Sirius Black’s middle name?”
“Lee!”
Funny! Next up? My “third son,” Chase: “That’s an old person’s song.”
The tune he was referencing? Billy Joel’s “The Longest Time.” Written in 1984! Hey!! Not so funny.
A TV snippet
The Mister and I love “Modern Family!” A funny show that’s not over the top, it’s mostly appropriate for its 8 p.m. time slot. I love the family dynamics. My favorite character is Cam (Eric Stonestreet), followed closely by Phil (Ty Burrell). It’s Wednesday must-see comedy!
A recent episode connected “Modern Family” with “Lost,” our Tuesday must-see drama: A mean youth basketball coach was played by Eric Lange, who did a turn as mean Radzinsky, the head of research in the Dharma Initiative.
Things that make me go “hmmmm”
• The Zurich Classic, a golf tournament, was played in Louisiana. Is the New Orleans Open held in Switzerland?
• Here’s why hyphens are important (from a ZDNet e-mail): “iPad owning Windows users targeted by hackers.” Without that helpful, little punctuation mark making “iPad” and “owning” an adjectival phrase, it seems like the iPad owns the Windows users! Is Apple really that powerful?
• A recent “Houston Chronicle” sports headline: “Texans eyeing Pro Bowler Faneca.”
Sirius Lee, my first thought was, “A bowler plays pro football?!?”
Love, love, love Modern Family.
Great writing and acting.
Yes, you said it…continue to be Lost! Sadly, I am ready for it to be over and I have so loved this show for many years.
Love Modern Family and The Middle….short, funny and I know what’s going on week to week. 🙂
With “Lost,” I’m ready to get some answers! Then we can discuss what it all meant . . . after we rewatch every episode! There is something to be said for the situation comedy that you don’t have to invest years into.
