A QUICKIE WHILE WATCHING TV ON A THURSDAY NIGHT...

My Idiot of the Week



Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West (pictured) was arrested earlier this week for speeding on a three-wheeled motorcycle while carrying two handguns and an automatic rifle in a guitar case. No word on whether or not they located the Thunderdome.

TV Notes

--GREY'S ANATOMY continues to become a parody of its former self. The mannered, stammered dialogue, the extreme melodrama, the constant revolving door of sexual liaisons, the weekly shouting matches, the over-the-top gore...where is the nuance, convincing characterizations that made the show worth watching in the first place? Tracy still watches but me, I've had more than enough.
--The MODERN FAMILY pilot was the funniest half hour of TV I've seen since the "waterwalker" episode of Arrested Development (Season 3) almost four years ago. Hope they can keep it up.
--It's sad and scary that there's more news in one half hour of BBC WORLD NEWS AMERICA than on a week of nightly news from all three major networks combined.
--The gags in COMMUNITY don't always work but at least they're trying something a little bit offbeat.
