And POOF! it was gone...

Now that I've finally made time to watch the shows I DVR'd last week, I've discovered that a brief power outage occurred Tuesday evening at exactly the same moment as the final scene in "House" and "NCIS". ARGH! I lost less than a minute of air time on the downstairs DVR, but ARGH! I lost the entire ending on the ReplayTV upstairs due to a slower reboot. And ARGH! it was an important minute where Everything Is Revealed and Important Things Are Said. At least I assume important things were said... I guess I'll never know for sure...

"House"... not the grumpy crumudgeon I used to love

What is it with "House"? When the show started, House was a grumpy, complicated curmudgeon, and the medical mysteries were intriguing. But now the irrascible old coot is just plain mean, not only self-destructive, but destructive to everyone around him. And the medical mysteries are rather lame, turning into an exercise in how to torture a patient before actually helping him. Are the writer's getting tired, or have they exhaustive the materials?
