My Kind of Channels!

AXN is probably one of the channels that I definitely tune into whenever I get the time to watch tv, which doesn't happen very often nowadays, no thanks to my job. Oh, and there is also AXN Beyond.


I love AXN because they are the only channel on our cable operator that shows tv shows such as House, CSI, CSI:Miami and CSI: NY, Chuck, Damages and of course the show my kids love to watch, Wipeout. What makes the show appeal to the general audience including children? Well if the fact that people who fail to complete an obstacle course and fall flat into their faces is not enough to entertain you then there is something terribly wrong with you. Currently Wipeout is on its second season and if you haven't tried watching the show, I suggest you do, it's mighty entertaining.

there is just something about physical pain on others that is so funny...

I love AXN Beyond because it shows episodes of tv series that have ended like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. It also shows tv shows such as Lost, which I will be lost without, and Supernatural. Again, among 100+ channels, only AXN and AXN Beyond carry my kind of shows.

If you're an anime fan, then the AXN franchise have their own channel dedicated to animes, Animax. if you are the type who like animes but don't have animax on tv, then that's okay because you can watch anime online. Gurren Lagann is one anime worth checking out on Animax Asia. It's about the adventures of Simon and his friend Kamina, and others who are forced to live under the Earth's surface to escape the Beastmen, but then because of an attack enforced to them by the Beastmen, they decide to fight back and regain control of the Earth's surface. I am not sure if they have this on other countries, but for Asian viewers who want to check it out, then you can catch Gurren Lagann on Animax Asia during Sundays at 4:30 p.m. and Mondays at 12 a.m.

The Best Video Clip I've Seen... So Far...*

I was looking for video clips on YouTube about House, M.D. and I stumbled across this video from the 58th Annual Emmy Awards and I absolutely just loved it! It's hilarious! Check it out!

It's the best video clip I have seen, so far.

Music Monday: You Can't Always Get What You Want by Band From TV**

This song is an original from the Rolling Stones and was on their album, Let It Bleed (1969). This song has been on numerous movies like The Big Chill (1983), The Hoax (2006) and 21 (2008). It has also made appearances on tv shows like Drake and Josh, Glee (episode 13), The Simpsons (a parody) (Season 18 Finale), My Name is Earl (Season 2 episode 9), Nip/Tuck and it was on House for 4 different episodes (pilot episode, season 1 finale, season3 episode 1 and season 4 finale). The version I have chosen is the version done by the Band from TV. The Band from TV is just that, a band from tv, because its band members are part of different tv shows, like Hugh Laurie a.k.a. Dr. Gregory House from House, M.D., James Thomas Denton, Jr. a.k.a Mike Delfino from Desperate Housewives, Adrian Pastar a.k.a. Jim Profit from Profit and Jesse Spencer a.k.a. Dr. Robert Chase from House, M.D. to name a few. Its founder Greg Grunberg (Alias, Heroes) hatched the idea of forming the Band after a live performance at a House of Blues (bar &resto chain founded by Dan Aykroyd and Isaac Tigrett) incurred quite a lot of following. Anyway, there will be more details on that soon, for now, let's enjoy the version of the song by the Band from TV.

My Missing DVD's

It's past 1 a.m. and I am still awake, I have a nagging headache and I can't fall asleep. Lucas and B are fast asleep and softly snoring beside me, I have my lappy on my lap and was prepared to watch some DVD's when I realized my DVD's were missing! B and I bought DVD's this past weekend, I bought the series 2 of Gossip Girl and the season 4 of House and was planning to watch some to help me fall asleep. It's times like these when I wish we had a satellite dish instead of cable tv, because nothing seems to be on at this hour on any of the channels available on our cable. We have 125 channels and there's nothing good to watch. I am so browsing through dish network packages and convince B in the morning to ditch our cable provider and switch to a dish network instead. Any of you folks know the downside to having a dish network? Well, I am told that weather conditions may affect the down time and the signal for the dish's network, but then again, weather conditions can also screw up cable connections anyway. One of the reasons I bought a Gossip Girl DVD was because we are like a few episodes behind, the network that carries the series airs the episodes late, and I don't like that, I want to be up to date with what I'm watching and it frustrates me that these networks prolong my wait time. My grandma has dish network instead of cable in her house in Azusa, and she says she loves it, at $12.99 per month, she says it's worth every penny. She gets to watch tv until her heart's content, that is how tv viewing should be, not like here, at 12 midnight, all the channels are on static mode, only a select few still run programs but then again, they run programs nobody wants to watch. I have to convince B to switch to dish, but for now, let me go and find those darn DVD's...
