The Minnesota Mangums: HD Rocks!

HD Rocks!

I won't go into all the detail, but due to some intrigue with DirectTV, we weren't getting HD programming even though we had a new HD TV. So after patiently waiting a couple of weeks, we got to watch TV in all its HD glory last night. One word: totally awesome. Can't wait to watch 'Heroes' next Monday in HD. And 'Backyardigans' isn't bad in HD either.

Other things I'm excited to see in HD: Tim McCarver and the World Series; three letters: NFL; cooking shows on the Food Network. Things I'm not excited to see: 'Survivor' (yikes); Manny Ramirez's hair; they guy from 'Hell's Kitchen' (he's already scary enough).

Now all I need is those sunglasses that make the whole world appear in HD. They have a modern european style.; September 28, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Adam said...: Dude, HD rocks! Survivor was even cool, at least the nature scenes.; September 30, 2008 at 9:32 AM
Jason said...: I agree. It's hard to go back to normal channels after seeing HD. They should mandate this for all broadcasting like they are doing with digital... someday!
