According to TV guide, the status of some of the popular shows, now that the TV strike is done... FOX's "24" Season 7 postponed until January 2009. ABC's "Boston Legal" One pre-strike episode remains. Expected to shoot 8 additional episodes to air in April/May. ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" One pre-strike episode remains. Expected to shoot 4 additional episodes to air in April/May. CBS's "Cold Case" Expected to shoot 5 new episodes to begin airing on March 30. ABC's "Desperate Housewives" Expected to shoot 7 new episodes to air in April/May. NBC's "Friday Night Lights" No new episodes expected for this season. Future TBD. MY NOTE: From all reports I've heard, this show is dead...VERY disappointing news, considering how well this show is put together from top to bottom.... I also heard somewhere that, when asked the status of "Friday Night Lights", the "best show on TV" (words of the person asking the question), an NBC exec quipped something like, "Keep Watching 30Rock ... THAT's the best show on TV".... If this was the exec's actual response, shouldn't the response been a bit more impartial...? FOX's "House" Expected to shoot 4 new episodes to air in April/May. CBS's "Jericho" Seven episodes remain. No additional episodes expected for this season. ABC's "Lost" Five pre-strike episodes remain. Expected to shoot 5 additional episodes to air in April/May. ABC's "Men in Trees" Eleven pre-strike episodes remain, the first of which airs Feb. 27. No additional episodes expected this season. CBS's "NUMB3RS" Expected to shoot 6 new episodes to begin airing on April 4. ABC's "Pushing Daisies" No new episodes until fall. ABC's "Samantha Who?" Three pre-strike episodes remain. Expected to shoot an additional 3 episodes to air this spring, likely after Dancing with the Stars. CW's "Supernatural" Final pre-strike episode airs Feb. 21. Expected to shoot 4 additional episodes to begin airing on April 24. *sighs* And, I still haven't decided about the new Knight Rider.... If I don't see it Sunday, the forecast is for that network to re-run it next Saturday, February 23....

One thing that has always amused me [despite having grown up listening to only country music (thus, my love for the older country songs)]...: While more people have eclectic tastes, the music industry itself continues to be a "silo" culture (i.e. "country only" stations, "rock only" stations, etc.), even with the MANY "crossover" songs.... A few "crossover" examples: Dolly Parton's country "I Will Always Love You" landed on the pop charts when Dolly did it ... and again when Whitney Houston did it. CW McCall's "Convoy" ... pop and country hit. Wynonna's "No One Else On Earth" was originally country, but a remix and presto ... it was found on the pop charts. Likewise, Taylor Swift's recent country hit "Teardrops On My Guitar" has now been remixed and is being played as "new music" on stations like Chicago's 101.9 WTMX, "The Mix", a pop/rock station. And, it goes the other way, too.... Hinder's "Lips Of An Angel" found its way to the country charts via Jack Ingram. Vertical Horizon's "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" landed on the country charts via Gary Allan. Marc Cohn's "Walking In Memphis" was done by Lonestar for the country charts. ...and on and on and on.... Course, some rock songs seem more country, and vice versa.... This intrigue anyone else? What do you think about "crossovers"? Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve&pacemaker WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Don't you remember?" ...

...spring/summer...?! Baseball players are reporting to training camp. Spring Training is just around the bend. The Arizona Cactus and Florida Grapefruit Leagues are about to start. And ... spring is in the air. Well, maybe not yet. But...hope springs eternal.... Time to share five "truths...learned the hard way" from _The Cubs Fan's Little Book Of Wisdom_ by Jim Langford.... And, for good measure, a "winter sport" quote from the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team win in Lake Placid: So ... while the soon-to-be-here spring reminds me that I haven't completed much of what I wanted to this winter (anyone else in the same boat?) ... who else is looking forward to spring/summer sports (i.e. baseball, softball, etc.) and events (i.e. car shows, friends/family gatherings, etc.)?

These (door jambs, under hood, under trunk, etc.) I do wax ... not the underside of the car, though.
