The Blog according to Don

'The Blog according to Don' Has Come to an End

2007-04-07T06:32:00.000-06:00

After a week of pondering I have officially decided to discontinue this blog.

With my new MySpace site up I felt I needed to make some changes and this is one of them. Their are so many political blogs out their and this I felt just did not get a lot of notice.

I am trying a different approach with MySpace focusing on Life & Leisure topics and Entertainment. I might throw in some politics once in awhile but not as much as it was here at TBatD.

I plan to leave my blog up for awhile. Afterwards I intend to take it down.

Check out MySpace page.

With this new site on Myspace I am really looking into discontinueing this blog. After a few years it seems that this blog has not gotten the attention I hoped for. Also I have not said much and done more links to commentaries if anything.

It takes time to put my blog up, and its not as easy as it looks. I will let you know what my final desision will be. Very likely I will end this blog.

Be sure to visit my new MySpace site soon.

The Blog according to Don (McCullen) to Jeff Short

2007-03-11T19:27:00.000-06:00

I shall make it short and to the point.

About 11 years ago I became quanited with a man by the name of Jeff Short.

He invited a high profile guest to speak at his church and while it did not draw a big crowd it still would led to a friendship this pastor. This high profile person for sure caught my attention and I came.

Allthough his attempt to start a church in Colorado Springs failed he still continued in the minstry.

He moved away but some how we lost touch with each other. I was thinking about him lately and would like to touch base with me.

I found a E-Mail and I am hoping that its him, and I did send an E-Mail before writing this post on my blog.

So Jeff Short former pastor of South Springs Community Church in Colorado Springs. If you come across this blog, please respond to me.

Bush says that Communism should die with Castro, but in reality people are always being the fool cause they are so bitter and envy those that have more than THEY do. So the Commies and Marxists will always have their apeal.

The Midseason Predictions

2007-03-05T09:23:00.000-07:00

A followup on my Midseason Post. The Link is these words. Don't know what I am talking about??? Click that link and go to the links in that post.

CBS: Well not much to say but that 'Old Christine' is not the ratings getter as 'Rules of Engagement' is and Engagement is a better fit with 'Two and a Half Men.' The last seven episodes of 'King of Queens' being sandwitched between Men and 'CSI: Miami' is great sendoff for the veteran sitcom.

Regarding Old Christine: Seinfeld curse lifted??? We all might have spoken too soon. CAUTION: 'Dancing With the Stars' Season four ahead and 'How I Met Your Mother along with 'Old Christine' will be in its line of fire. So will NBC's 'Deal or No Deal.'

ABC: If they can't have football anymore then how about 'Dancing With the Stars?' Better than what they have on now Monday nights. ABC needs some payback with FOX stilling going strong with 'American Idol.' I can's see any of the replacement Scripted shows making it into the next season.

Why bring back 'Six Degrees' guys. Does this have to do with J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot outfit. How about burning off 'The Nine.' 'Traveler' sounds like a 'Prison Break' copycat more/less.

FOX: Way to many misfires in the early season and I just don't see another live action sitcom attempt on Sunday nights doing well. What might save 'The Winner' is the Seth McFarelane connection (Family Guy, American Dad). 'Drive' is iffie and 'The Wedding Bells' is on Fridays...Wish your success. Overnight results for Sunday nights in just a few minutes. Even if Winner does well this week...The weeks to come will tell.

NBC: The replacment show that I think will make it is 'Thank God You're Here.' They have ways to go.

The CW: The show in which one young lady will win a spot in the pop group 'Pussycat Dolls' should do as well as 'America's Next Top Model.' Problem is how can you keep a show like that going???

The TV Midseason

2007-03-03T07:06:00.000-07:00

This has become more and more of a trend in Prime Time TV. Mainly because certain shows that happen to fail to connect with the audience so they see if a midseason replacement can make the grade.

Hey 'All In the Family,' and 'Three's Company' are just two examples if midseason replacements that turned into big hits. More recently dramas 'The Unit' and 'Numb3rs' (both air on CBS) began as midseason replacements. It also turns out that 'Rules of Engagement' might be just what CBS needs inbetween 'Two and Half Men' and 'CSI: Miami.' since that is a freshmen show that has proven to do VERY well.

Out of only the freshmen shows Rules trails NBC's 'Heroes.'
