A Little off the Subject, However it's 19 Related

Okay, I just can't wait until Thursday on HOI.

Not because of the news... although it's a fave of mine. But because it's the return of brand spanking new ABC shows.

My absolute favorite show (if you're not watching... you are missing out) is "Grey's Anatomy". Let me tell you how big of a freak I am. Not only do I have Season 1 and 2 on DVD... and the musical soundtracks of Season 1 and 2... but I've also ordered a couple of things from ABC.com including a Grey's Anatomy coffee mug, and some Grey's gear.

ABC is sooo over priced... but the stuff is worth it.

So if you see a guy around town sporting a Grey's Anatomy cap... you'll know it's me.

Gretchen Wirtz at 10pm???

I had to delete the last blog... because of the large amounts of spam, and the fact that I couldn't keep it completely up to date... but the last post I had up had comments about Gretchen Wirtz filling in for Jen Christensen at 10pm.

I saw Gretchen on those 10pm newscasts and thought she did terrific... and was excited that she's been with HOI 19 for such a long time now... I hope she stays there for a while, and that they are paying her good money (don't everyone start laughing at once).

Gretchen at 10pm works, but she's too good in the morning. I just couldn't imaging not waking up and turning on the tube to find Gretchen and Mark on 19. It's now become my new routine... "Daybreak" is the show to watch!

Local Investigative Journalism??? Really???

Love, Love, Love Nishi Gupta's "Fact Finder" reports... and I Love, Love, Love that HOINEWS.com has dedicated a page to them.

It's so refreshing to see these kind of reports on one of our local TV stations. It's like a brief local "60 Minutes", "Primetime Live", "Dateline" type report.

Keep it up 19!!!

Theme Package Flip Flop

Okay... so you know how I liked HOI's theme music???

Well, I spoke too soon. Because after hearing it over and over and over and over again... it just plain sucks!

It doesn't even sound like it syncs up right... when you hear it playing during the STOCKS, or COMING UP parts of the newscast, listen closely... it seems to skip.

I'm hoping this is temporary music. I haven't been able to find the composer on Southern Media's webpage... so I'm hoping I'm right.

Sooooo Did Not Keep My New Years Resolution

Okay, so I didn't keep my "New Year's Resolution" by posting new subjects here at the HOI fan blog... but that doesn't mean that I haven't been watching... I have, really I have.

Which means I have just tons to gab about.

First, I should probably address the new look to the site.

It's a blogger template... because my other page looked too professional. I hadn't checked my email in a while... and it seemed like so much of that mail was either (1) spam... lots of spam, (2) commenters, and (3) viewers who believed that my site was part of HOINEWS.com.

That last one gets me... because it was clearly written that I WAS NOT AFFILIATED WITH WHOI-TV... but, still folks thought I was.

So, I emailed them back that I wasn't affiliated with 19... and decided to have a site that was just plain and ordinary.

This site looks as dull as HOI 19's new theme music package sounds. (rim shot anyone?)

I'm still a fan though.
