PBS Series Examines Life Aboard an Aircraft Carrier | NPR. I caught this TV show on my local PBS this weekend. I was surprised at how much it sucked me in. I would suggest you give it a chance if you can catch it or check it out here. It details the life on board the USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier during a six month deployment to Iraq and it is very good and well rounded in the story it tells.

FRONTLINE: bush's war | PBS. This, I believe, is a must see for anyone interested in politics. I caught the first hour or so on PBS the other night and was amazed. Frontline does some great investigative reporting and the production of the show is amazing. I encourage everyone to watch this so we can know what to avoid in the future. Get out and VOTE!

American Idol performances will be on iTunes | crunchgear. This is really cool. I believe this is a great way to enter-twine the internet, "New Media", with TV, "Old Media". This is something I wish they would have had on previous seasons. I know Amber would have loved to have the Carrie Underwood/Rascal Flatts duet from a couple seasons ago.

I called and canceled Direct Kick today. I was very unhappy last year with the blackouts that occurred when I was trying to watch games. It seems that this year will be just as bad since MLS has agreed with Fox Soccer and HDNet to play games. I also found myself not watching as many games last year. I will settle for watching them on ESPN.

MLS Announce 2008 Schedule | soccer365.com. I am looking forward to a new season of MLS. We will see if Beckham can make it onto the pitch this year. I will probably not be watching as many games live this year as I will be dropping my Direct Kick. Last year there were too many blackouts and I was not happy so I will vote with my dollars this year.

CNN Hits The Wall for the Election | washingtonpost.com. This is the latest in Election Reporting gear. Once I saw how the multi-touch worked, I knew it would be seen on TV. This is a great example of how computers can make things more interesting. It almost made the election coverage worth watching. I am just looking forward to the day when I can have one of these in my house and I can see the results myself. CNN would be sad then, since I would no longer need to watch. I wrote about a similar display back in the 2004 elections.

The TV Final | NYTimes. There is a story on the NY Times World Cup Blog that states, "The U.S. TV viewing audience for the World Cup final was equal to that of the NCAA basketball final and the World Series and higher than for the NBA finals." It goes on to say, "the audience for the whole match was roughly the same size here in the US as it was in Britain." You can us that now to fight people who say we do not watch soccer here.

CNN.com - U.S. networks offer 'on-demand' TV - Nov 8, 2005. At first seeing this I am thinking, this is very cool and that it is about time. Then I read the article and now I am confused. I see very little practical use for these delivery systems. NBC and CBS what are you thinking? I am confused. How/Why would I pay $0.99 to watch something the next day on my DVR when I could just record it and watch it the SAME day it airs. Just leaving out the commercials is not value enough. I want the show the same day or earlier if I pay for it and I want to be able to digitally preserve the show to DVD or DVR.

This war will likely be much longer than anyone anticipates. I have spent the whole weekend trying to watch and trying not to watch the war coverage. There is intense coverage on TV. It is very, very sad that it had to come to this. Do not get me wrong though, I 100 percent support our troops and our country in this war effort. It is sad though and makes you think long and hard about the effects of war when you see images like this.
