Rerunning and running and running

Saturday, I was shivering in a snow suit, Tuesday I was sweating in shorts. Is it any wonder I have a head cold all year round? Of course I had to change into pants and a sweater once I got home, but that’s only because my house is an icebox until the moment it isn’t and after that point it is a hibachi.

I also hate this time of year because we are inundated with reruns and so I am forced to watch 22 hours of Murder One (second season) back to back to back with only brief respite so I can go to work. But it get s worse. As soon as I am finished with Murder One I’m on to Ned and Stacy. The only thing standing between me and 22 straight hours of that, is Netflix’s delivery policy and the first run Bones tonight and the new Boston Legal last night. I do have back up though, I still have Hogan’s Heroes standing by.

I like Boston Legal but the more I watch it the more I wish someone would have frozen James Spader back in 1986 or fed him a tape worm or something because boyfriend has gotten fat. If he were a woman he would have been punted off the lot a long time ago. I’ve gained too, but I was never Steph in Pretty in Pink. I do have to give the costume people on that show credit, they manage to find very masculine muu-mus for him to wear every week. I’m also happy that at his age 48! he’s not playing a grandfather on some kiddie soap opera on ABC Family or guesting on JAG Most of the other actors I was a fan of back in the day have been sent out to the Hallmark Channel pasture . James Spader must have lived a very good life because he looks a lot better than the much younger ( and thinner) Andrew McCarthy . Spader is older and fatter but he’s not making soppy romances for Hallmark Channel.

Hogans Heroes, sigh.I would have it watched eons ago but I Netflixed Auto Focus last summer and that kind of put me off Hogan for a while. I can't enjoy Hogan's Heroes until I can watch it with out thinking Hmmm. They showed this scene in the movie. He left from there and went and edited a film of a “date” he had with a 300 pound hooker, a vacuum cleaner, and a collie.... I'll enjoy Hogans Heroes more when I can watch Bob Crane and only see Col. Hogan.

Hmm. I may not be there yet. It’s weird. I watch Match Game reruns, and seeing Big King Perves-A-Lot, the very pervert who led Bob Crane down the pervert path... The pervi-ist pervert who ever perved, Richard Dawson, doesn’t bug me at all, in fact back in ‘74, he was kind of hot. I am so going to hell. In my defence, Dawson was/is a good liberal, while Crane died a hard right winger -which frankly rates only slightly lower on the “How Disturbing Do I Find This” big board then his sex addiction and porn fetish -because essentially the only person he harmed was himself, and eventually, had he lived, he would have supported whatever puppy stomping the RNC told him to. Really, I have to concentrate on Colonel Hogan, Colonel Hogan, Colonel Hogan.

How can you watch Hogan's Heroes again and again and still criticize some people you know who watch American Idol??

Larry Hovis was my friend, ergo, I can watch HH whenever I want to, as often as I want to. HA.
