For the Love of Mike! Start your Freakin' Shows on Time

**Rant Alert**

So last night I watched the "Shield" Finale. Basically the season ended the way I expected, lot's of trauma and sadness. Anyway here's the deal. FX was cool enough to put the "Shield" on twice in a row at 9PM and 10:30PM (seems to be the fad now to put premieres on multiple times in a row), which was pretty cool. While I almost never watch shows live (have I ever mentioned I'm a DVR junkie), I decided to catch the 10:30 episode.

So, Imagine my surprise when I flip to FX at 10:30 exactly and the last 2 minutes of the episode is playing out. I'm not going to give details in case you haven't seen it yet, but that last 2 minutes show all of the dead and alive participants (yeah, we knew somebody was going to die) in the same scene.

Stupid Freakin' FX!! Luckily I did one of the "Popeye" eyewinks so I could blur my vision and hit the mute button all at the same time, and being in as great as shape as I'm in, I pulled every muscle in my body. The problem was I couldn't change the channel because I was recording the show, so I had to glance at the screen every few seconds with my eyes almost closed to find out when the show was over.

Yep, I looked like a complete moron and have massive injuries just to avoid spoiling the end of a show. Thanks a lot FX! You'll be hearing from my attorney!

No more live TV for me. I'm going back to the DVR and I'll even get to skip all of the commercials, woohoo! What was I even thinking by watching live TV?

Rant done! Carry on.
