The Unsuspected-a neat, less-known film. Claude Rains (Louie from Casablanca) is a radio host who commits murder. His naive (okay, dumb) niece doesn't believe he could do such a thing, but he does.
Tokyo Story-a couple go to visit their grown children. The ungrateful bastards move them from one place to the other. I wanted to give my mom a hug after watching this one.
The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!-a Russian submarine becomes stranded in Nantucket. Hilarity ensues. Johnathon Winters plays the deputy sheriff. You know it's a comedy.
The Happy Years-a cute turn-of-the century tale about a reckless boy. Activities include painting the neighbor's horse green.
Anna Karenina-Tolstoy's masterpiece starring Garbo.
The Pumpkin Eater-Anne Bancroft gets pregnant. A lot. Lady has some issues.

THE DAILY SHOW: OCTOBER 4, 2007
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!: Bushie vetoed a bill which would provide health care to poor kids and they would tax cigarette to pay for this! Thank God for street urchin John Oliver to demonstrate how ridiculous this is.
RESIDENT EXPERT JOHN HODGMAN: He talked about the American dollar which is now worthless. Loved the sound effects (shut up!).
JACK GOLDSMITH: Nope, didn't pay attention to it.

30 ROCK: SEASON 2 PREMIERE-OCT 4, 2007
It's time for a new season of 30 Rock. Everyone has returned from the summer hiatus. Poor Liz broke up with Floyd, Jack is recovering from a heart attack, Tracy separated from his wife, Jenna has gained a ton of weight (due to starring in the musical Mystic Pizza), and Kennneth the page is still Kenneth the page.
The season premiere was hyped because it was Jerry Seinfeld's return to NBC. Jack has decided to take footage of Seinfeld insert him into all of NBC's current shows-it's SeinfeldVision! Jerry finds out and is not happy. After several arguments, Jack and Jerry come to a deal: SeinfedVision will air for one night as long as they promote Seinfeld's film Bee Movie and have Al Roker dressed as a bumble bee (PLEASE DO THIS TODAY SHOW!).
On the other side, Liz is not doing so well. She is in complete denial about her breakup and actually buys a wedding dress, you know, just in case. Finally, Liz breaks down in front of Seinfeld. Miss Lemon has a long way to go.

THE COLBERT REPORT: OCTOBER 3, 3007
GAY ROUNDUP: A new segment which features a infamous scene from the film Red River (watch this!). Since Stephen was not an expert on homosexuality, he called Dan Savage to fill him in. Mostly the interview was about Senator Larry Craig. Is he or isn't he?
MONKEY ON THE LAM!!!: Oh, thank you so much for this segment again!
JIM LOVELL: Two words: freaking awesome!

THE DAILY SHOW: OCTOBER 3, 2007
DARK LIQUID: Rob Riggle's new screenplay sounds a lot like the private militant group Blackwater. The company's new motto (in my dreams)-We kill people...for money!
CONSERVATIVE KIDS BOOKS?!: There is actually a book out there called How the Liberals Stole Christmas. John Oliver really nailed the conservative author and the liberal author. Seriously, why would anyone write this?!
TED KOPPEL: Who knew this guy was so funny?

PUSHING DAISIES: SERIES PREMIERE-OCT 2, 2007
Dear God, this show was so hyped that it almost made me not want to watch it. But I did and was pleasantly surprised. I might not catch it every week, but maybe from time to time.
The premise goes a little something like this: one day, young Ned discovers he can bring the dead back to life, but there are some repercussions-if the formerly dead stay alive for more than one minute, someone has to die in their place and if they touch Ned again, bye-bye. Sadly, it was time for Ned's mom to die. He brings her back, only to have his best friend Charlotte's-aka Chuck-dad to kick the bucket. Later that night, Ned's mom kisses him good night and promptly dies. Chuck goes to live with her eccentric aunts and Ned is sent to boarding school (?).
Twenty years later, Ned is a pie maker and is also quite stand-offish. Ned also helps the local P.I. solve cases by bringing the victims back to life for a minute. The duo then split the rewards. Still with me? Chuck is having a bad time, though. She has been murdered. At the funeral parlor, Ned impulsively brings Chuck back to life. The funeral director takes her place. Now Ned can never touch his love again. How will they survive? And who (tried) to kill Chuck? Find out on Pushing Daisies this fall on ABC.
