Tonight is the season premeir off Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2.  I’ve been looking forward to this for awhile.  I was worried that they would wait until January to start the second season and I am pleased they have gone ahead this early.  I have it tivod and will watch it later.

Last year, I tivoed the first four episodes of the Sarah Connor Chornicles, mostly out of curiosity.  I wasn’t real excited about watching it, I’m usually not that excited about network TV.  However, one night I couldn’t sleep and so I started watching the first episode.  It blew my freakin mind.

I hadn’t been this exicited about Terminator since I saw the first one for the first time.  Granted, I was 5 when the first one came out but it was a favorite of my youth.  I really liked the second one but it hasn’t aged as well for me.  The third one sucked, most likely because Arnie was phoning it in and Nich Stahl just sucks.

So I can’t wait until I have a chance to watch Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2.  Stuff is starting to pile up in my tivo queue.  I still have to finish Generation Kill and Feasting On Waves started yesterday.  so much to watch, so little time.

The Dolly Parton Lyrics to Act  Like a Fool

You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?

We are of course referring to the internet here.  Today rumors of Dolly Parton’s death are running rampant.  Who comes up with this shit?  Apparently at a high school football game on friday it was announced “erroneously” that Dolly had died.  Damn kids.  Anyway, by today the rumor was widespread that she had died of congestive heart failure.

Her publicist had to scramble to declare her alive and kicking.  Still, I bet for years after this people will truly believe that Dolly Parton died “a few years ago.”

The other night I was watching Hannah Montana, er, I mean, my daughter was watching Hannah Montana and she was on along with Vicki Lawrence.  This morning, I logged onto my computer and saw that she was dead and I though, well that was spooky.  Alas, the internet had once again made me its bitch.  Luckily we have Dolly Parton Lyrics to help us through the Heartache.

The cast for Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars was announced this morning on ABC’s “Good Morning” with a few surprises. Mainly, reality TV celebutante Kim Kardashian — who had been rumored for days to be on the show — actually suffered an injury (she cut her foot on Sunday night, but it was not severe enough to keep her out of the competition.)

“I will be able to dance,” she proclaimed! Whew, wouldn’t want to disappoint the male viewership.

Here is the list:

Kim Kardashian, reality TV star

Cloris Leachman, Oscar-winning actress (wow, that’s a longer fall than Shirley Jones)

Maurice Greene, Olympic sprinter,

Lance Bass, former N’ Sync star

Rocco DiSpirito, TV chef

Warren Sapp, NFL star

Misty May-Treanor, Olympic beach volleyballer

Toni Braxton, Grammy award-winning R&B star

Cody Linley, that cute kid from “Hannah Montana” show

Ted McGinley, veteran actor (who has his own category on Jump the Shark)

Brooke Burke, actress/TV personality

Jeffrey Ross, celebrity hanger on not even famous enough for I love last night or the 30’s or whatever

Susan Lucci, “All My Children” star

Dancing with the Stars premieres at 8 p.m. Sept. 22 on ABC-TV, followed by a performance show on Sept. 23 and the first results show on Sept. 24.  I won’t be watching this garbage of course, but for the benefit of my readers who enjoy such things I put this here.

At least I hope so.  I might actually start watching original recipe CSI again.  Laurence Fishburne movies are awesome.  He was Morpheus.  I loved him in deep Cover.  When he was 17 he lied about his age to be in Apocalypse Now.  The man has balls.

He would be a welcome addition to the show.  Laurence Fishburne movies are always a treat.  He is in talks to play a scientist who’s gentic profile matches that of a serial killer.  He is supposed to replace William Petersen’s character thouggh not his character.

Some people wonder if Fishburne  has the chops to take over CSI.  Are you kidding.  William Petersen coudl not carry Laurence Fishburne’s Jock on his best day.  Sure, he does that creepy thingg really well but he’s like that in everything.  Laurence Fishburne could pull it off in his sleep.

Petersen is the third original cast member to leave, after Jorja Fox and Gary Dourdan left (to be fair, Fox left, came back, and left again).  Luckily Helgenberger’s rack is still on the show, Milf-tastic.  Petersen will stay on as an executive producer and do an occasional guest spot.

From Laurence Fishburne movies to Laurence Fishburne tv, how awesome is that.  I’ll have to fire up the tivo.
