Would You Buy a 3DTV?

Despite the media and the television manufacturer's obsession with the 3DTV, the public seems to have been "left out of the loop" and has hardly been hyped at all, despite this new technology. Many of the people I talk to say that they're avoiding the 3DTV due to the price. However, if we were to disregard the price of the 3DTV, what else is holding us back? 

The reason I ask this is because, despite the price of technology, eventually people start to cave and the technology becomes the norm in people's homes. For example, at first people were completely appauled at the idea of Blu-Ray players and their affiliated movies. Now, there are complete isles in stores dedicated to Blu-Ray discs and there are tons of players on the market. Back to the 3DTV now, it seems that nobody is buying them, despite the fact that they have been out for a while. Is the technology just before it's time? 

This is a possibility considering the fact that a lot of people still use, or until recently used CRT TVs. A lot of people are just starting to buy LCD screens with HDMI cables and better speakers with all the works that comes with HD. Nobody wants to go out and buy something that has the same quality, but seems to pop out of the screen at you. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone that specifically requested that they're movies seem as though they were coming at them. It may be cool in the theatres, but I bet a lot of people feel like morons with those glasses on. And who want to wear them in the comfort of their own home. However, is this the root of the problem with the 3DTV?

One the biggest problems that I hear my friends talk about when looking at the 3DTV is the fact that there is a limited amount of media that can be used with it. There are some video games, and movies that are 3D ready, however, broadcasters can't even send out 3D signals yet. In fact, they don't even have true 1080p signals as of yet, meaning we don't even have the technology to broadcast out TV shows in the full 2D HD at the moment, let alone worry about the 3D market. This extremely limits the functionality of the 3DTV and also poses another point in the fact that it may just be too early to release this technology to the public.

Whether you have, want, or hate the 3DTV it's existence is up for debate. Many people think that it's great that technology is advancing so quickly, however, there are also many that believe it's starting to outrun itself. The few that have 3DTVs may be enjoying their purchase, however, the fact that there is such limited functionality at such a high price means it is an instant turn off for the majority of the market. No matter where your feelings lie in this matter, the 3DTV is a technological feat and will continue to be sold, despite it's lack of sales.

Family Guy: Brothers & Sisters Season 9 Ep 15

This Episode was not that good. To me it felt like a fuller episode. The story felt like they put no time into it at all. Alot of jokes where not even fun they where more dry and kinda boring in a way.The only reason I'm Posting this is just because I'm disappointed with it. It looked like it was going to be so good but. They also made Petter into a even bigger retard then he normal is. Which lead to a lot of dry jokes. This episode seemed like they where running low on ideas and just tried to  put something together.If you missed this episode on the weekend  you did not miss much at all It was sad after alot of the episodes from this season where so good. I hope the next episodes is way better.

The Simpsons Season 1 (1990)


Season 1 of  The Simpsons was filled with good episode. This season started off with a xmas episode which is a pretty  cool way to start everything off. Now isn't it'd.It's is really freak to watch older season of the Simpson. So much as changed from Mr.Burns office  to the Simpson house.These older episode are nothing compared to what we watching these days. But they are still really funny and entertaining. 

The animation of season 1 is not that bad for it time but compare to what they look like today. Well they look like shit. Another thing is the mouths look like they only move one way. Which  just dose not seem right to me. Aloted of  the backgrounds  could use some more work. They also could used some brighter colors. 

The first season start off slowly  but by the end  everything was in full swing. Some the most faoms episodes from season 1 are Moaning Lisa: where Lisa meets Bleeding Gums Murphy for the first time and begins a big friendship.Krusty Gets Busted: Which is where Bart is one of only people who believes  that Krusty did not rob Kwik-E-Mart and end proving that it was side show Bob who did it, Which start's the whole thing with Bob want to kill Bart.

Season one was a short season that  fell short for me in the jokes for the most part. But was full with story building episodes.All together season one is shit compared to the Simpson now but it is a timeless classic. It is fun and cool watch if you want a blast from the pasted and to see who the voice of  everyone changed over time. It good to watch just to see where it all started and how much better it as gotten over the last years.

Quit fact did you know that The Simpson where a tv short before they became a full on show.

Hawaii Five-0 First Season is almost over.

Hawaii Five-0 first season is all most over. This show just started this year. At first when every one heard that they where making Hawaii Five-0 Episode again there was a little of a fog in the air. Everyone though they where going to just find new actor to play the old characters and continues from where they lefted off.But Now they did not. They took the show in a whole new way. They tied them to gather by having  one of the charters sons from the last show star in this show. The first episode in  Steve Mcgarrett returns home to Oahu. After his farther his killed . He want to find the man who killed his dad and bring him to justice. The govern  offers him job as the leader of a new task force that he could pick.

The Five-0 task force is made up of Danny "Danno" Who is cop from New Jersey and is in Hawaii to stay close to his daughter.Chin Ho Kelly is one of Steve farther's friend from the force who was kicked off because they think he stole money, but can not prove it.The Finlay team member is Kono Kalakaua Chin cousin who is new to the job but has alot of skills that can come in handy.

Hawaii Five-0 is not that family friendly is made for  13 in up I would say. So if you have older family it is a good way to spend your Monday nights. It is pack full of action and drama that is mixed together so well.This show follows nicely and before you now the show over and it leave you wanting more.

You can see from the attention to detail in every episode that they really care about what they are doing and that they want to make the best cop/crime fighter show out there today.It is not far off. The part that I find the most inserting is who they do not just focus on the main story. They tie all of the episodes together through the charters and their story that they have always going on the side.This helps to keep you watching to see what is going to happen next. Unlike CIS where the whole focus is on whatever case they are working on, with every little other side story to tie the show together.

The cast works really well together. They feed off each other and  you can tell that every one in this show is putting in their best work. The 4 main actors Alex O'loighlin, Dainel Dae Kim, Grace Park and  Scott Caan work fantastically with each other. They make you feel like you are actually their in the show with them.

The only big down side I can think for this show right now is that sometimes there is just way to much going on to keep track of it and next thing you know you have no clue what going on. Your lost which is not good. Also I do not know who long they can drag out some the side story that make this show so good for.  I think it's going to get to point where the show just going to go down hill just as fast as it came up or faster.

I would recommend this show to any looking for new cop/crime fighting show is not so unique but cool.
