%$#*@& Denny Crane Says

I caught a little bit of William Shatner's new show, "Shit My Dad Says," (I don't care...just say what it is), and I couldn't help but think this was Denny Crane in an alternate reality if he didn't become the hot shot Boston laywer and instead settled down as a family man. I'm going to watch this week's episode with that in mind and see how more funny it is. I bet I'm not the only one who sees this. Boy, I miss Boston Legal.

So now As The World Turns is gone. Les Moonves is on his mission to exterminate soap operas...just to say he did it. Mr. Julie Chen needs to be stopped. His counterparts at both ABC and NBC quit and got fired, respectively, and now it's ol' Les's turn. This guy also cancelled Guiding Light, The Ghost Whisperer, Joan of Arcadia, Judging Amy, and Star Trek: Enterprise...all shows I believe ended before their time. This guy has an ego bigger than Donald Trump, he loves power, and enjoys people being afraid of him. Dan Rather called him out a few years ago, and the guy has been a bastard ever since. But then again, this is all just TV, right? Nobody cares about TV anymore.

Something I say several times each Saturday: "HOUSE!"

So the Hartford Whalers are coming back. No, wait...that's not right. The Connecticut Whalers are coming. Oh...geez...that's not right, either. Ah, I have it...the Connecticut Whale is just about here. Howard Baldwin is full-steam ahead with his plan to bring the NHL back to Hartford. I didn't feel any sense of closure after the last Whalers game over 13 years ago. I just didn't feel it was over. Maybe I was right. The Connecticut Whale is our chance to show the hockey world Hartford is a major league market worthy of the NHL. Let's do it, folks.

I saw REO Speedwagon at the Durham Fair on Saturday night. Kevin Cronin said twice he had a cold. Keep complaining about it and I'll want my money back. They played a couple of songs I haven't heard in a long time, so that was cool.

Way to go Hartford Colonials! They're 1-1 but easily could be 2-0. Looking forward to the next game at The Rent. Come out to the game, people!
