MVP

Another show I finally checked out this weekend was MVP, which is an original SOAPnet series that SOAPnet is airing. MVP is a nighttime drama about hockey players, their families and their personal lives. The beginning of the show has background music that says “who taught you to live like that” over a montage of [...]

Computer learning channel

I was watching tv today. As I was changing the channel I realized that with all of the diy shows on now there aren’t really any for computer use. We can find plenty of shows to help teach us how to do things around the house and to help us learn how to cook. But [...]

Cat scans on tv

You’ve probably seen the use of medical diagnostics on tv shows like Law and Order and House, as well as on other shows including soap operas.

Fore!

Over the past two weeks we’ve discovered that our youngest son CJ likes to watch golf. Yes, that’s golf. I couldn’t even believe it when I saw it. He sits nicely and watches the players take their turn. When they swing to hit the ball he squeals in delight. Sometimes if it doesn’t get too [...]
