I'm surprised that after tuning in to see the time-and-space bending and people flying and indestructible cheerleaders, the most amazing that happened on NBC tonight was a television show making me like Amanda Peet.

Also, airing SNL promos during primetime tonight wasn't so smart, as I was left wishing the show-within-a-show on Studio 60 was going to be on this Saturday night instead.

Heroes:

Okay, the two guys in the karaoke bar wearing red basketball uniforms and singing that song cracked me up severely. If only there was a guy behind them playing video games and very obviously ignoring them. The Japan stuff in general was good, though. The rest of it was kind of meh and I got really sick of watching miss cheerleader mangling herself. I also wonder how she actually gets injured and then heals from everything else, but fire just plain doesn't hurt her.

Totally didn't see the senate hopeful being the flyer coming.

It's interesting enough, and the Japan scenes were amusing enough, that I'm willing to stick with it for now. It certainly didn't blow me away, but it's worth leaving my DVR set to record it and see how it goes.

Will Heroes get a repeat airing on Bravo? Or should I be looking for other options?

See how quick I get an offer! Thanks, Ailleann. Will check with DH on his schedule.

I missed my way twice on the way home today. Within two blocks of my home, I got turned around. Twice.

I want my brain back.

Cute Overload has another good one: the nearsighted fawn.

Ah, mental fog. How well I know you.

The best advice I can give from my own experience is to get very methodical about certain essential items, such as putting your keys in the same place every time. (That way, at least I don't emotionally beat myself up about little lapses in other stuff that is less rote, because I'm getting a B+ for effort.)

Why are you awake, Theodosia?

Theodosia and msbelle, Veronica Mars is available at MSN, for a sneak peek, this week: [link]

The broadcast premiere is October 3, which is the * anniversary of Lilly Kane's death. * Not that that's here or there.

Cashmere, at the end of the episode, they did say it would rerun, tonight (Tuesday). They could have said Bravo. I didn't retain it. Wait. I bet TiVo will know...

...

TiVo says the Heroes pilot is rerunning at 8:00pm, tonight, on NBC. It also says it's rerunning Friday, 9/29 on Sci-Fi at 7:00pm, and Monday, 10/2 on USA, at 11:05pm.

Additionally, NBC's done all right by it on their web page: [link]

It's a little confusing to see a fantasy genre show get so much support from one of the big three networks. I mean, I know NBC is struggling and all, but that usually seems to be when the networks try to get back hand by abusing us, and remaking us their bitches. Maybe I dreamed this all up. I'd better go get some more coffee, just to be sure.
