The Better Living Wife absolutely loves the show “Airline” on A&E, and I’ve caught some of the episodes. Entertaining, to some degree, and very educational. I’ve learned that it is nothing short of miraculous that anybody ever successfully flies from Point A to Point B on a commercial plane. The levels of interaction – the interdependence – the schedules – the mechanics – the personalities – the laws and regulations – the costs – the chaos – it’s amazing that the airline system works, and yet it usually does. Of course, the TV show highlights the things that DON’T work, which is what makes it entertaining. What strikes me the most, though, after seeing perhaps a half-dozen episodes, is how many people attempt to fly while they are intoxicated. Unbelievable. The other aspect that dumbfounds me is noticing how many travelers don’t bother to wear clothing when they fly. Well, they wear clothing, but certainly nothing that I would be comfortable wearing. Flip-flops, shorts, and a halter-top? Aye carumba.

So now there’s a device that will allow you to “block” Fox News Channel from being viewed on your TV. Tell you what – I will purchase one of these devices if - and only if - it can be programmed to block MTV and any other music-video channel. Music-videos are *evil*, I tell ya. Music is for LISTENING TO, not watching.

Can you spot the difference between Sarah Jessica Parker and a horse?

In case you’re wondering which Clint Eastwood movies will air during the month of December, just check out the TV Now site – it will tell you which movies, what times, and what channels. For example, “For A Few Dollars More” will air on December 11th at 10:00 pm on American Movie Classics, and also at 5:15 pm on December 16. Of course, if you want to schedule your movie viewing around pure crap, you can do that, too.

One of the best Saturday Night Live skits ever aired was the one with Phil Hartman (RIP) as Frank Sinatra, and other regulars (plus guest host Sting) as other performers. It was modeled after The McLaughlin Group, but much, much funnier. Among Sinatra’s “guest” were Billy Idol, Sinead O’Connor, and Luther Campbell (2 Live Crew frontman). This was classic SNL. Heh…when Sinatra referred to O’Connor as “Uncle Fester” and “Cue Ball” – and the sneer on “Billy Idol’s” face (Sting) – and Steve & Eydie sucking up to Frankie…good stuff. Do you remember this skit?
