Wednesday’s this fall (after the superb Modern Family), ABC is going to trot out it’s fourth new comedy, Cougar Town. I can’t really say I have ever had that high of expectations for Cougar Town. The show just didn’t appeal to me. I actually thought it was ABC’s least interesting new comedy. While Cougar Town might not be the worst new comedy on ABC (that might go to Hank), Cougar Town definitely needs work.

America’s Got Talent Semi-Finals Audition #4 (September 9th, 2009)

Posted: 09 Sep 2009 08:28 PM PDT

americasgottalent Americas Got Talent Semi Finals Audition #4 (September 9th, 2009)

After last week’s terrible selections I didn’t hold out much hope for tonight’s episode. I thought that once again America would put through singer after singer and completely ignore unique acts. While I am glad that America moved on my favorite act remaining, I am disappointed that America had to put through several more singers. After the jump find out the final five acts to make the finals and how I would rank the top ten acts this season’s finals.

Criss Angel: Mindfreak S5.E5 “Death Crash” (September 9, 2009) Recap

crissangel Criss Angel: Mindfreak S5.E5 Death Crash (September 9, 2009) Recap

Quarter Through Phone Book: Criss has a spectator sign a quarter. He then takes a phone book and puts it on the ground. He asks another spectator for any number and puts the quarter on one of the early pages in the book. He lights a match a spectator gave him and the phone book starts to burn. The quarter burns all the way through to the page number the second spectator used as her number.

How He Did It (highlight the following text area if you want to know how Criss did it): I’m fairly confident that Criss placed something that would stop the fire on the page he knew the spectator would pick. As for how he figured out what number the spectator would guess, I don’t really have any idea.
