M*A*S*H, which was is a very successful Hollywood movie about a comical medical mash (mobile army surgical hospital) unit during the Korean War inspired the making of a top TV show of the same name that ran from 1972 – 1983. One of the first television shows to combine tragedy with comedy, the characters of the award winning M*A*S*H were so popular among American viewers, they became household names. The most popular character was the wisecracking surgeon, Captain Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce (Alan Alda), who cracks us up while patching up wounded soldiers, flirts with nurses and makes fun of head nurse Margaret “Hotlips” Houlihan and fellow doctor, Major Frank Burns. The final episode of M*A*S*H  is still one of the all time most watched TV shows of all time! Trapper John, M.D. was a successful spin-off of this top TV show.

Which Cable Service Fits Your Needs?

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

With the choice of so many programming providers out there it can be difficult deciding on which is right for you and your family. Of course there are some basic factors that can alleviate this decision based on the type of viewing that is desired in your home.

In large cities such as Houston, Texas there are three major providers. These are Dish Network, Direct TV, and of course, Comcast. To be fair to all three there are distinct advantages to each.

For Comcast they tend to have less chance of signal loss during a major storm. However, when signal is lost due to a down or cut line, repair is longer to achieve. In addition pricing is somewhat higher than Direct or Dish. Quality of picture is also an issue, especially if the house is further on down the line as signal strength weakens. And of course, in February of 2009 all cable customers will need a box for each tv wanting service.

Direct TV like Dish has %100 digital programming unlike cable. Where Direct is possibly a better choice over the other two is in the area of NFL fans. Direct TV is the only provider to have the Sunday NFL Ticket where fans can watch all the games on Sunday. This service is usually an additional $300 or more in addition to the regular programming package fees. Also, unlike Dish, a receiver is needed for each tv.

Where Dish Network distinguishes themselves from Comcast and Direct TV is in their overall product. Dish has %100 digital programming, the NFL Network is in one of their lowest priced packages, each receiver is capable of operating two televisions instead of one, their regular pricing is lower than the rest, and signal loss is only on average two to five minutes in the rare occurrence signal is lost. In addition to the regular cd music available, Sirius Satellite music comes included with their mid to high level packaging at no extra cost. And, when it comes to High Definition programming (HDTV) Dish is the leader.

Thanks for stopping by “GreaterHoustonTV” and feel free to give us a call anytime should you have any questions.

Tony Romo And Jessica Simpson

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

So the Cowboys lost to the Eagles and people are blaming it on Jessica Simpson? Do you really think Tony Romo had a bad game because she was wearing a pink and white Tony Romo Cowboys jersey? Get real. Tony R. is a professional and a damn good quarterback.

Remember, Jessica was at the Green Bay and NY Jets game. The Cowboys, and Tony Romo in particular, dominated that game. As quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo has put up numbers that Roger Staubach, Danny White and Troy Aikman never could.

Don’t doubt Tony Romo (Jessica Simpson doesn’t).

Reality TV Shows Good For Ratings

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I recollect when reality TV shows were first starting up on television. Although I can’t remember exactly which shows were the first to air, I do however recall one of the very first ones I watched and that was Real World on MTV. Many years on my dear friend informed me that Real World was not as genuine as they needed you to think so. A lot of what was on the show was in actual fact staged and many of the people that featured on the show were indeed actors.  I’m not sure if what she told me was true or not however to be perfectly honest with you, nothing would surprise me.

You owe it to yourself to give the show a try if you havent seen it yet. Many people consider it the best drama currently on television. BSG is reaching its 4th season, and previous seasons are available online on DVD.

Thinking Of Upgrading To One Of Those Modern Entertainment Centers?

Monday, April 30th, 2007

When I was growing up in the 80′s modern entertainment centers were simple: we had a television. Eventually in the mid-80′s we got one of the first front-loading VCRs and then the customary pile of VHS tapes started piling up. That was all we needed, and they were pretty much the only options anyway.

Hdtv lcd tv

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

It was the day of the big game, and we were trying to decide who’s house to watch it at. Of course, Mark’s house has the advantage that it is central to everybody – 5 miles from me, 6 miles from Joe, 12 miles from Sam and Renee. But then again, Mark is a new father, and if we are there, we’ll always be being interrupted by the baby crying, every few minutes, or being shown photos, or changing diapers. We thought about having it at Sam and Renee’s house, but although they have a hdtv lcd tv, they are way on the outskirts – far from everyone except for Mark. And anyway, they are horrible house cleaners and a few of us are allergic to mold. Finally, we decided to have it at my house.
