Miles From Home

Okay... so I fly out to Charlotte, NC for a series of classes/presentations for work. Started feeling sickly and nauseous just as we are being served a gourmet dinner at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
 Had to go back to the hotel, after having the shuttle driver ride around looking for a drugstore. Ended up at WalMart, where I bought a bunch of medicine and dosed-up.
 Felt better and went to the morning sessions. Began to feel ill again, stomach cramps, the whole works.
Have been in hotel room all afternoon & evening. Blah.

RUN, ROBIN...!!

The GRIMM Truth

NBC's "GRIMM" an entertaining update...!

Alright. I'll admit it. NBC's "GRIMM" has become my 'can't miss' TV show. I enjoy the premise. I like the acting and the characters. The stories-- which center around a descendant of the fabled "Grimms" who deals with a world inhabited by creatures of legend and lore-- are updated fables involving a different, modernized take in each episode.

Detective Burkhardt (a 'GRIMM'-- slayer of monsters) and his oblivious partner investigate a crime scene.... seemingly unaware that they have an audience....

The main character, who is the only one who can see these shape-shifters and storybook characters for what they really are, is aided by his friend-- a 'Bludbaten'. This is a nice twist and helps with continuity, explaining each episode the legend behind the 'adversary-of-the-week'.

I believe it has become my current 'favorite' show, now that both of my previous favorites-- "SMALLVILLE" and "CHUCK" --are now gone.

Now, ABC has their OWN thing going on with "ONCE UPON A TIME", a show that I haven't been watching regularly and need to catch up on. It comes on opposite other shows I try to watch (HBO's "Game of Thrones" and FOX's "FAMILY GUY"), but have been busy and travelling and such. 

This LOOKS to be a variation on Bill Willingham's "FABLES" graphic comics series from Vertigo. 

I HIGHLY recommend you check those out.

Seth McFarlane's "FLINTSTONES" Delayed

Well, it seems as if the creator of "FAMILY GUY" and "American Dad" is a little too busy to devote his full attention to the announced "FLINTSTONES" project.
