Summer TV

Swingtown is not going to work for me. I can tell because this is supposed to be a fun, racy show about the sexual revolution - certainly visually interesting. So I'm watching some guy pick up a stewardess on his flight and take her home to his wife, implied sex, yada yada. And what I think is "Oh yeah. Tab!!" when the wife pops open a can.

Today's Stanley Cup Final Game

I have to disagree with the announcers. It's not all right to take out the goalie in the crease just because you're skating hard. I get why they say that - it's a Stanley Cup final game, overtime no less, and nobody wants to see the game decided by the officials. On the other hand, it's not OK to declare open season on the goalie just because it's a more exciting game that way. There's no need to cater to the lowest common denominator in the fans. They have nascar.
