October 25th's Weekly TV Thoughts

I thought we were going to get Weakest Link, but it wasn't on.  So either my station preempted it or it wasn't on Fox at all.  And I still haven't decided about Tracker.  I have the season premier, but I haven't watched it yet.  Probably delete it this coming week.

With all that said, here's what I did watch this week.

TV We Love – Again, I’m not sure I learned that much new about The Brady Bunch, but it was still fun to hear about it and relive the show.  I really need to watch my DVDs of the show, don’t I?  Anyway, this show is making me smile, so I’m glad I’m watching it.

Only Murders in the Building – Did we ever figure out whose finger that was?  I don’t remember at this point.  Yes, some good laughs, but rather melancholy over all.  As it should be with everyone moving out.  I’m still wondering how they are going to undo all of that next week.  I mean, you know they are going to.

Dancing with the Stars – I voted for the first time for years. I voted for Scott (among others).  And he went home.  I’m sorry, Scott.  Actually, watching the dances (which happen after the voting window closes for me), I can see why he left.  It wasn’t the best dance of the night.  I like him, but it had only another week or two in him, most likely.  And, since Pentatonix are hitting the road in a couple of weeks, there’s a part of him that will be relieved soon even though he’s disappointed tonight.  As to the night, I’m reminded how few songs I really know from Wicked.  I need to watch it again to really cement what I think of the show for myself.  I was happy to see Danielle do so well.  I hope that keeps up.  And, as much as I do like Andy, it really is time for him to go.  We can’t lose better dancers in order to keep him.

Shifting Gears – I wasn’t sure what I was going to think of the raccoon storyline, but it turned out to be rather sweet.  The dating storyline took some nice turns.  I wonder how long they are going to keep Riley and Gabriel apart.  I almost feel like it will be by the end of this season, but some shows drag it out for years, so we will see which they do.

The Challenge – Theo lives another day.  At some point, your luck runs out.  And that was a hard challenge at the end.  Anyway, I wonder if he’ll be able to keep dodging bullets like he is.  As to the hay in the first challenge, I still have allergies to it, so that would have been uncomfortable for me.

Survivor – I feel for Jason.  He tried, but there was nothing he could do.  It might help if he hadn’t wound up with the cursed teammate who is going to make every tribal until she is voted out.  That’s hard.  You expect to at least have one night off during the first part of the season.

The Amazing Race – I’m really surprised that neither team with the express pass was hit with the Double U-Turn.  Seems like a good time to get one of those out of the game, if not both.  Of course, one of those teams was near the head of the pack.  And I can understand the team in first not wanting to get a bigger target on their backs.  The cart race looked fun, but only if you finished quickly.  I can understand the frustration of the team that got eliminated.  And I would have been horrid at building it.
