CBS Announces New Fall Shows
Filed Under Entertainment, Sitcoms, Television, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
After ranting for a few moments a few days ago about their inability to fix technical problems with their programming, CBS has announced their fall lineup for television this fall. There really aren’t any big surprises here for those who follow how television programs work. Although there may be a few programs that sound a tiny bit interesting to watch, I’m afraid to watch anything new. All the networks barely give the shows a chance to succeed. And even the shows that do seem promising get yanked off the network anyway unfortunately.
For those curious as to what the CBS fall lineup will look like, I’ll share with you what I know. The New Adventures of Old Christine will return, and will air Wednesdays at 8PM. A new comedy about divorce titled Project Gary will follow. The Unit, and Rules of Engagement will make a mid-season return. The list of canceled programs include Jericho, Kid Nation, Viva Laughlin, Welcome to the Captain, Shark, Moonlight, and Cane. I’m not shocked to see those programs on the chopping block actually. Well, I was a fan of the show Jericho, and was extremely disappointed to see the show canceled once again. But that certainly came as no surprise, considering the weak ratings.
Fans of Without a Trace will have to watch their show on Tuesdays instead of Thursdays. A new sci-fi drama called Eleventh Hour will be in the old Without a Trace time slot. Eleventh Hour is the only show I seem to have a small interest in. It’s been reported that the show, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, is the largest TV deal ever made during development. It’s taking a whopping four million bucks to produce the first show, and CBS has ordered 13 episodes. I heard that X-Files fans might take interest in this show, and well, I’m an X-Files fan.
There are some other new ones for CBS, including one titled Mythological X, featuring Elizabeth Reaser. Reaser examines past relationships after some psychic told her she has already dated her future husband. This one seems really dull to me. More announced for other networks on the way soon.

McDonald’s: Free Southern Style Chicken Sandwich
Filed Under Food, Freebies, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Listen up all you crazy fast food eaters. If you go to McDonald’s tomorrow (May 15, 2008), and you buy a medium or large drink, you’ll receive a free Southern Style Chicken Sandwich, or a free Southern Style Chicken Biscuit. Which one you get for free will depend on what time of the day you go. The Southern Style chicken items are new on the menu for Mickey D’s, and they will have the biscuit on the breakfast menu, and the sandwich on the regular menu. It’s not a complete freebie, but it’s worth it if you are looking to save a few bucks.
The Southern style chicken items sound pretty good actually, and of course they do extremely well in the South. The sandwich is basically chicken, on a plain bun, with a couple pickles and some butter. I don’t know if this will appeal to everyone, but it sounds good to me. I don’t go to McDonald’s often, but I’m always up for trying new things. The Southern Style Chicken Biscuit is simply the chicken on a buttered biscuit. I think people who visit McDonald’s on a daily basis will probably like the extra item on the menu, and chicken items do sell quite well for McDonald’s.
