Recent Programming Moments & My New Favorite Word

The past two days were especially fruitful, entertainment-wise, to be a couch potato:

Inside The NBA took a look at a CP3 webisode of his Celebrity Bowling Event, capped off with a hilarious avatar from The Big Lebowski; Kenny & Chuck's faces were superimposed over (movie character) The Jesus & his side-goon! The icing on the cake was when Chuck inadvertently said "Nacho Latino" when referring to the NBA honoring the Latin fan-base on Hispanic Night (Noche Latino). Apparently he's learning the language & promises to do an entire show in Spanish. Kenny replied with "you can't even speak English right".

PTI was equally comical; Kornheiser clowned on Wilbon after showing clips of the worst First Pitches (Carl Lewis' takes the cake). Some unnerving news though regarding the Cowboys; Dan Reeves is to be a special advisor in Big D? Jerry Jones must have a thing for ex-Denver Coaches, he already has one…I don’t like it…and Tony’s now Twittering?!? Gotta give that a go!

And where was I all this time with NCIS?? Can't believe I missed it for so long! This show embodies the modern day Ginger/Mary Ann conundrum in the form of Ziva & Abby. Love & lust aside, the storyline is great, couldn't turn away; the team had to untangle a school-room bomb threat involving a disgruntled teen, who, as it turns out was just the marionette. They use computer encoders & freq-sweeps to track down the villains. All this before sunset, of which I learned there are three: Nautical, Civilian & Astronomical (don't let people say you can't learn from Television); I loved it. I had to laugh though; after Jennifer Shepherd asks her assistant to retrieve Ducky, the assistant responds to Jennifer with "Yes Sir". Which was surprisingly suiting; though I just started watching the show, Jenny does seem a bit *douchey...
