SERIES, series, series!

Once again AMAZING RACE (American edition) has returned to TV on its special premiere telecast and the first destination is in Mexico. 11 teams/22contestants went to Mexico to meet Phil Keoughan in Mexico and their first task is to search for the Mariarchi" from among hundreds of musicians who sing Mexican song and played their musical instrument. Second task is to complete an "animal framework" (looks like piniata made from pieces of wood, bamboo sticks and Japanese paper) to be covered with colorful paper  to be used as fireworks. For fireworks! The next tasks the contestants went to this place and asked to to the task of going inside the cave (under the basement?)  and find ceramic parts inside the box of sand (looks like litter box)  to complete the mask. I don't know if everyone used gloves to protect their hands. I hope they did protect their hands when they dig for the pieces of ceramic for the mask. It's weird I think. Risk? Risky task. I hope those contestants know how to protect themselves if they go to foreign countries especially if they want to dig deeper or if they have ambitions to be an "archaeologist."

Puzzle? Maze? They are up to something as always trying to solve a problem and their solution is simply mind boggling costly! Travel around the world. Did Phil announce that whoever wins,  will win $1,000,000 dollars?

 Whatever! I think the contestants are rich enough for the long  travel around the world.

Or is it Lalaloopsy?

The next thing that happened after 9 pm, our TV went offline and so many channels disappeared, dunno what's going on. We looked for other channels that were not disconnected or went offline. Shark tank, Weather channel and Filipino channel are the only channels left to see. I can't even see CBC News channel or the Nickelodeon's channel. FGS! What's happening? Then I remember it was Friday. That kind of bizarre situation happened only on Friday as if the JAWS was trying to kill again for that time sched. 9 pm to 10 pm. Ha ha! Off the wall event (brick) on friday and you wonder someone should explain that to us. Maybe they thought you can change channel to VOD and rent a $6 movie. You know...

I didn't see any X Files episode. I think my daughter likes the NCIS better which featured an episode where a Navy officer died aboard the Air Force One and by the way, Pres. George Bush was a special guest. What happened to that dead officer? Was he poisoned? Did he eat something that cause a fatal death? Whatever,  I saw this episode long time ago. This episode is a re-run. Abby (Pauley) had that long waiting period to know the result. After she was able to know the cause of the death of the first officer who died on Air Force One, another officer died (bf of the female Secret Service who was being guarded by Agent Gibbs). Then another man died aboard the plane ... weird eh? Toxic air? Peanut allergy, heat stroke? MSG in food? What could be? There could be another episode for that series. I wish I know all the answers. But I'm in a guessing game. Just like Abby's machine of guessing the substance that will discover the cause of death.  I'm not the script writer for that TV series.

There's a long marathon once again leading to the premiere telecast of the WALKING DEAD. Tomorrow at 6 pm we'll find out if Rick, Glenn, Maggie, Carol, and the rest of the cast will survive from thousands of zombies inside their community. Hm, such a horrible death-defying suspense. It took more than 4 months to film horror suspense series eh? Are you so serious? They know that the daring escape and survival is through "BLENDing in"  with the rest of the zombies or walkers, however will it work again this time. Let us know if that strategy will work this time...tonight at AMC Channel.
