    Are you kind? Good to hear u cats at least watch some mostly decent stuff. TV has so much power over what people think. Seems most of what's on is just mind numbing or downright brainwashing. Still, the odd nugget slips through. Sometimes I succumb to watching rubbish but I find I do a lot more in living my own live when I keep the boob tube off. Who needs tv anymore now that we have YOUTUBE anyway?!!! I love the way u can CHOOSE from almost anything u can imagine and find something relevant on utube! Peace Cats, Jody

    The Lucifer Effect
    The Pinchbeck interview was good. GRTUD probably liked the special effects Steven used prior to him introducing his guest (Steven really introduces his self in a faux stab at the prime time pundits, if you haven't seen the show - actually funny) that reminded him of his good times before becoming "a family man".If you really want to see a great interview, casting a net across the dark waters of our times, check out Jon Stewart's interview with Philip Zimbardo, author of "The Lucifer Effect" and conductor of the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971. My only complaint of the show, in these situatinns, with these type guests, is they should shelve all the stupid kid stuff (phoney interviews and commentary) and make the interview longer than 6 - 8 mins. I understand that they can attract political heavyweights by sticking to this format but someone like Zimbardo deserved the entire half hour because he knows what causes situations like many of the political fiascos in progress now. That said, I did some follow up and have found his web site to be very informative. http://www.lucifereffect.com "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

The show "America's Toughest Jobs" is pretty good. Last night they were gold mining on a private claim in Alaska and panned and dredged a over a couple ounces in 2 days. Hippie Ben with the dreadlocks just made it to the next round.

Premise: A high school chemistry teacher earning 42,000 a year with one child and one on the way has terminal cancer. He wants to leave his family with 748,000 dollars, the amount he figures they need. He decides to make meth with a 20 year old former student with a low rider Monte Carlo with the license plate "The Capn". Oh yeah, his brother-in-law in the small Arizona city he lives in works for the DEA. So begins his zany adventures. Won an Emmy. Good writing. Check it our, it's one of the best series on TV right now.

I just love the way good tv shows break the mold of mutinous. This is highly recommended, and by far one of the best shows out there. Just be careful with little kids around. _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

A gourmet travel show with Anthony Bourdain, who often likes to get drunk with his hosts. Last week he went to Medellin, Columbia and wasn't too interested in the food. I wonder why?

did a story on a guy in Portland who converted a small Datsun to run on electricity and his batteries give him 300 hp. He takes it down to the Motor Speedway for drag-racing on amatuer night and there's nobody who can beat him! It's so funny to watch this little electric Datsun blowing away Corvettes and Beemers and other big muscle cars in the quarter mile. They also showed an electric motorcycle built for drag racing that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2 seconds !

John Stewart goes off on UCSC hiring someone to manage the Grateful Dead archive. He is incredulous that the person must have a Masters in Archiving(?!?) He asks, what does this person do all day? Pick out pieces of blotter acid from Phil Lesh's underwear he wore on the Blues for Allah tour? Can't believe nobody commented on this! (sorry, don't know how to embed the link but you can go to the website).

Maybe it's just me but Loudon Wainwright III always has this psychedelic smile when I see him. Most recently he did the song, "Ramblin Blues" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and I was just thrilled with his performance. Too bad it's not up on YouTube because NBC's stupid website isn't playing that show at all (Sigourney Weaver is still awesome, btw!). They need to get whoever is doing Comedy Central's site 'cause it's the "Jam" compared to all others... even if Jon Stewart did make some douche remarks about Phil, his underware and blotter acid. *shakes fist in air, holding a sharpened pitchfork* I'm not finished with you Stewart! ; - )

A secret cult has been discovered operating under the guise of a political satire.The 'Daily Show' hosted by notorious left-wing fanatic Jon Stewart on the subversive cable station 'Comedy Central' has been known to....Siriusly (s.i.c.) though Lamagonzo,I think there might be a bunch of folk(myself included)who for whatever reason do not have cable.If not for a few good people sharing recordings of this very entertaining show with me,I too would be in the dark....

Did anyone catch Mickey on the History channel's "The Universe" series, spotlighting pulsars and quasars? I can't believe I hadn't posted this before now... very cool.

Was Mickey's contribution purely musical, GRTUD? Or did he have something other to add?

Well gonzo, Mickey showed how he found the rhythm of pulsars and quasars to be very psychedelic and with it, he was able to use those beats to express a spiritual link he was feeling by perceiving this active engagement with The Universe, in a musical manner. His part of the segment is just about half way through the program and is only a few moments long but, as is the case with Mickey, it made everything worth while!

Did I see that? Did anyone else? This morning on CNN, about 6-7:00AM PST, some clips kept being interrupted with flashes of Jerry playing acoustic. I don't even remember what the storyline was, it wasn't related at all to music, or us, in any way semi-remotely connected to any Dead or awakening, etc. No commentary, no music, just flashes of Jerry. Do we have a plant at CNN, flashing subliminal pro-transformative interjections of positivity? Or is it a manifestation of collective consciousness? Or are my neural synapses misfiring again?

...but it looks like there will be a third season. The shows were good to very good this year but they moved away from the time lapse cloudscapes and other scenes of New Mexico. Not that any of that is related to the story. It has made the series grittier. The acting is very intense and well done.

AMC has announced a 4th season of "Breaking Bad" They will rerun the last three seasons in hour segments before then. I urge people to watch this show unless you're not into quality everything about the production values and acting. The plot-line may not appeal to some but you can't say it isn't filled with real pathos. I think it's the best thing on TV.

Bernie Sanders laid it on the line. Extending Bush's tax cuts for the rich by Congress while cutting programs for the poor by the Republicans now in power.Now these inane assholes like Boehner and Cantor (R) majority leaders in the house and Senate, want to do away with: Social Security Medicare Medicaid Minimum Wage Collective Bargaining And much, much more that effects your children now. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention (or are one of the rich people making more than a 100 million a year that we should lynch in the public square.) Hey folks! 3 years past on this Wall St scam pulled off by Goldman and not one person has gone to trial, never mind to jail. Bernie Madhoff wasn't guilty of mortgage-backed securities being hedged (all dogs have their day) I am proud that the only independent socialist senator comes from the state where I live. The great State of Vermont where Democracy is real. I know reading these pages not many people care, but I do. See the extended version at www.theDaily show.com

...much anticipated and short on dialog. I think this is a great series and the characters comments during lead-up to series premiere really shows where the show is headed. Great panoramas and and scenes, cameras work edited, in New Mexico.

Surreal show of the year: Wilfred. Starring Elijah Wood, a twenty-something loser who's next-door neighbor's dog is a guy in a dog suit who talks and smokes weed- but only Elijah sees the guy. Everyone else sees a real dog. Why this happens is NEVER explained which is part of the genius of this show. A must see. J.T. Gossard http://thehallucinogenicbible.blogspot.com/

Bad break. I'm guessing by the question that you don't have any AMC On Demand options on your cable/satellite? I think that you can pay $2 an episode to watch on amazon instant video. There also seemed to be an indication that AMC will show something on Dec 5...but what I saw didn't have a lot of detail, no episode listing just a date and time (12 am EST).
