TAR: Definitely wanted to see the Bronx family go bye-bye--I'm hoping they do so next week. They got lost in downtown Manhattan, for crying out loud!

Oh, and best thing in the ep: Kevin and Drew!!! I was hoping someone would recognize them, and the final team finally did (wasn't that the Loud family? If so, they at least are familiar with the show's history.)

Best lines that I recall offhand:

"Sorry I couldn't contribute, Mom." "Get used to it, dork!"

"You've never camped out before? We'll teach you how to be a boy."

I enjoyed My name is Earl a lot. I think I am going to watch it while House is being Tivoed and then switch to the second half of TAR.

The Black family were nice enough but their abysmal perfomance on the boating makes me think they wouldn't have lasted long anyway. They're not nearly as prepared for this as the other kid family. A little shocked at the perfomance of the three brothers and the sister (from Cinci! Hi Steph!).

Yeah, there's like four things I want to watch on Tuesdays at eight. Feh.

Seriously -- I got home from class to a week's worth of TV on the DVR, and I think there was stuff I missed.

I've been getting in to Supernatural, which was already conflicting with my desire to watch House, plus my desire to watch My Name Is Earl/The Office. Now we get to add TAR to the fray.

I think for me it's Supernatural, followed by the last half of TAR, this week. Next week, Supernatural may have to fall by the wayside.

Wednesdays are also a little crowded like that. Both nights, I could conceivably watch a show, tape a different show, and still be missing shows I want to catch.

I have a feeling I'll not be going anywhere on Tuesday nights.

I'm hoping that Supernatural keeps being on Easy View on Sundays. That helps a little.

Oooh! Easy View! Der.

That makes my Tuesday night TV life a little easier.

No really, the state (heh) of geography knowledge by the vast majority of the population of this country is unbelievably abyssmal.

You have too many of them. Um, states, not people, though I guess addressing the former will likely affect the latter. You should start divesting some of the non-performing states, sell them to countries that reckon they can run them more efficiently. You'll be left with a leaner, more capable America, ready to meet the challenges of the modern globe!

And rename Pennsylvania "Volvo". Or, y'know, whoever places the highest bid. Because it'd be a brilliant revenue-raiser, and people would have a much easier time remembering that. Everybody wins! Except Wyoming. I never hear anything about Wyoming, and they gave us Dick Cheney. They'd be first on the block. I bet they'd be bought by Luxembourg or something, who'll use it just to move up in the rankings of countries by size, and as a tax write-off.
