TV was pretty crap for me last night until...   

Clap
The complete, no commercials airing of The Sting.  Hadn't seen it all the way through in a long time, not as good as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but pretty darn good. Butch and Sundance had so many more snappy oneliners and comebacks, and of course, Robert Redford looked better in that movie than any man before or since, except maybe, Paul Newman in The Sting.  Embarrassed
A new study finds that people who are chipper & happy live longer. Which is surprising because people who aren't chipper & happy want to kill people who are always chipper & happy. David Letterman

New Tricks on one of our two PBS stations.
 
It's a great British comedy/drama about 3 elderly, retired Scotland Yard detectives, Brian, Jack & Gerry, who were hired to come back to work as investigators for a "cold case" squad. Their "Guvna" or "mum" as they call her, is a woman who is much younger than they are, named Sandra. 
 
The title refers to the idea that they are "old dogs" learning "New Tricks".
 
One of the best TV shows I've ever watched.

Tom Jones was a surprising delight.

Hopefully they'll televise Walker's impending criminal indictment & you can have an enjoyable evening, curled up in front of the TV watching that too!!!

There was nothing good on TV until 10 last night (the return of storage wars) so I downloaded a bunch of anime movies. Watched Perfect Blue. Really good psychological thriller. Similar to Black Swan.
It's ok, I'm in marketing!

Ed Schultz was holding onto that sad little thread of hope last night, too.  LOL

I'm dying to watch that show, but since I'm constantly downloading stuff faster than I can watch it, I've 'banned' myself from adding anything else to my collection.
 
Keeping in the vein of British shows, I started re-watching Psychoville yesterday. Brilliant and wonderfully done.

I remember watching a show that depicted a stuffed cat with helicopter blades that flies.

I swear I  saw it I'm not making this stuff up.
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

Sometimes, when I fall asleep with the TV on, I incorporate whatever's on into my dreams.  Recently, I fell asleep during The Big Bang Theory, and dreamt that Kaley Cuoco (Penny) invited me down to her parents house near the Jersey Shore.  The whole cast was there, along with my old buddy Rich, and we were trying to get each other to leave.  I was pretending I couldn't find my sox.  FYI, her parents weren't home, but her roommate was.  No one was interested in her roommate.

No - it's real. Some artist in Scotland(?) had his belovd (deceased) cat stuffed and made into a helicopter. Kinda creepy looking. I wouldn't want to remember my Gippy that way. (Let me see if I can find the story!)>

I woke up to something like that on TV last night.  I don't even know what show it was on.

I watched some movie from 1975 on TCM last night.  It was called Hester Street.  It was about some Jewish guy who comes to the US from Russia in the late 1800s, becomes Americanized, and then sends for his wife, who has a harder time with the NYC Jewish culture.

Nothing really was on that I could find that I hadn't seen before, so I watched an always sure thing - Goodfellas.  It aired on Encore at 7 (Central).

I read about the cat copter on several sites but Jon Stewart did a skit--at first I was kind of "ick" about it but then he showed pictures of all his other animals he had stuffed and turned into modes of transportation.  You can really tell that Stewart and colbert like animals; so does Letterman.
 
Other than that, TV was crap last night, second night in a row.

First time I'd ever seen it.

I like almost anything that comes on BBC America and last night they started a new show called "Inside Men", and I wasn't disappointed.  For those who are familar with "Luther," two of the main characters in "I.M." are two of the main characters in "Luther".  One guy is Luther's young partner and the other is his old partner who killed his wife.  Anyway, hoping "Inside Men" continues to be good!
 
Also, FXM had an interview with Rufus Sewell who plays the vampire-in-charge in the new Abe Lincoln...movie.  I love Rufus Sewell; I will probably root for him to win Big smile
