Our friends over at BuddyTV (we interviewed one of BuddyTV’s founders David Niu way back when they were new) sent over an outstanding message that we’re interested in sharing with you - our readership - just in time for what is next week’s election!  Read on below feel free to chime in on your thoughts here at The 2GuysTalking TelevisionReviewBlogs!  It’s always great to hear the differing perspectives from our readers, our regular commentators, fellow podcasters and more!  It’s time to select, WHICH TV PRESIDENT ARE YOU, thanks to our great friends at BuddyTV!  - Mike2GuysTalking

“Hello,

My name is Kim and I work for BuddyTV.com - With the election in full gear, reporting on television seems of little importance compared to our future president. So, we, over here at Buddy TV, decided to honor previous presidents - previous presidents of TV, that is. Our newest personality quiz is “Which TV President are you?” It’s our way of keeping up on the elections. Anyways, I thought your fans would really appreciate it because it features several 24 presidents. Check it out and let me know if you want to post it.

Best,

P.S. I took the quiz and was Mackenzie Allen of Commander in Chief. Who says there wouldn’t be a female president this year? Oh, right, that’ll be Cherry Jones on 24!”

Peter is powerless; Arthur has more power than anyone; and everyone is picking a side.  The players are moving into place; the war is getting ready happen.  Episode 7 has just about finished setting the stage. Read the rest of this entry »

Intro:

Those of you that haven’t yet come to realize that having a goal, sticking to it, and working hard to make it come to fruition - pay attention!  I have, for more than half a year, been reporting, providing feedback, consulting with as many people as possible, leaving pointed, informative comments and making as large a footprint as possible online in regard to getting what is my favorite sports television program currently on television closed captioned.  I am incredibly satisfied to report that this week, from initial pre-show voiceover to Godspeed & partying on commentary - this week’s episode of HDNet’s Inside: MMA (I:MMA) is completely and gloriously closed captioned and is detailed on this informative and revealing Caption Hunt review on The 2GuysTalking Network.

I really didn’t know what I wanted to say about this week’s Heroes.  In the beginning of the show, Mohlinder ironically asks, “Was the right path taken?” and I tried to build an article on that theme.  The problem was that I felt like I was just repeating what I had already said in the previous articles about choices that were facing the cast as they figured out their purposes.  It wasn’t until this morning I realized, that this isn’t what this episode is about.  It’s about gathering forces.

Reviewed By: Mike Wilkerson - 2GuysTalking

Intro:

I challenge every reader to take a few minutes to remember the best working relationship you ever had with your father as you read this review of AMERICAN CHOPPER, The Dodge Ram Bike Build.  The reason?  It’s the worst sample of seeing Paul Sr. and Junior work together - in American Chopper history.  Sure, there have been louder, more violent, argument-strewn episodes in the past, but the fact is that in the end of those episodes, they grind together in unison to bring the goal of the project to focus and provide what is solid work.  That is sadly not the result in this informative and revealing Caption Hunt review on The 2GuysTalking Network.

I must admit that seeing the opening of this episode, at first I felt confused. Did I miss the previous episode? Am I watching the right show? If it wasn’t for the slight blue hue the whole scene had, I would definitely have believed that I was missing something. But it was only the director’s consept of Lincoln’s plan and how to get the final card. Wait for the General’s limo, crash it, and then shoot, take the card and get away.
Roland finds this plan outrageous, and Lincoln treats him like shit - shut up and pump. Poor Roland. No wonder that he is up to something the way everybody deals with him.
Self takes Michael to a cathedral where they meet Susan. She wants money and to take part in finding Scylla, otherwise she won’t give them the rest of the pages from the bird book. Michael stares at her with an ice cold look, and agrees that they can be partners. His face, his whisper when he talks, oh my God, he rocks the world around him.

Network: SpikeHD
Reviewed By: Mike Wilkerson - 2GuysTalking

Mixed Martial Arts has made a significant impact in my life over the last year and a half after a grand “discovery” session thanks to my wife on Father’s Day of last year. Since then, I’ve secured a staff writing position for a solid and growing online magazine, “The Savage Science”, I’ve watched and reviewed a variety of fights for television and been the beneficiary of several “take a weekend off” Ultimate Fighter Marathons where we get to see previous seasons of a television show where names have been made, fighters have been broken, and audiences have been satisfied by both.

Commercials Captioned: SpikeHD has always had outstanding service provided for their captioning, and this evening’s showcase was a continuation of the outstanding service that SpikeHD provides for it’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing viewers.  Thanks a ton, SpikeHD!

Intro:

I think that all of us have a favorite “living a dual life” movie.  True Lies, perhaps a Bond film living the life of a secret, but not-so-secret-agent, or even Total Recall provide us with just a few samples of what “having that other life” in tandem with the one we’re used to having might go.  Let’s fast forward to the Fall of 2008, to the NBC direction of the dial and tune into a show starring one of my favorite guilty pleasure actors, Christian Slater - a show show called “My Own Worst Enemy” in this two-faced, entertaining and informative Caption Hunt review on The 2GuysTalking Network.

Intro:

I’ve been familiar with Rosetta Stone Software for many years, and when you consider they’ve taken the time, budget, and effort to get gold-medal Olympian Michael Phelps to help push the very detailed and quality software, you’d think that closed captioning would be something else that would be included with a commercial for a software that wants to focus on being the ONE SOFTWARE to help people communicate.  Sadly, this entry for The 2GuysTalking Caption Hunt can’t tout that.

There are few times that a “perfect storm” occurs on my television screen, but this evening, the time, conditions and channels aligned to create the perfect environment for a great Caption Hunt entry.  Sinking ships has become very common, and has evolved into an excellent and growing part of the general eco system and tourism community around the world.  This evenings show on DiscoveryHD was “The Ship Sinkers” - a show that provides us with a behind the scenes showcase of just how a ship goes from being launched, decommissioned, stripped of it’s harmful contents, towed to it’s final resting place, and intentionally sunk to become a new artificial reef and tourism attractions for divers across the globe.  All of this and more awaits you in this Caption Hunt review of DiscoveryHD’s The Ship Sinkers on The 2GuysTalking Network.
