Sunday’s Best

After an exciting weekend down in Newport, RI, I’m back to where I often find myself on Sunday afternoons, on the couch watching TV with my roommates, resting up for the hectic week ahead. Our weekly programming selection is usually a sampling of whatever cheesy shows and movies we can find on cable or OnDemand. Last week, “Iron Eagle,” the weekend before, “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” But today, we stumbled upon a true gem. I’m partially embarrassed to reveal the name of the show (with which I was so entranced), but what the hell, I’ve already told you that I watched “Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past”...

Today’s selection: New Kids on the Block: Live in Concert

Just when we though Donnie Wahlberg and the rest of the gang were no more, they make a triumphant return to stardom with their recent 2008 launch of a new album and subsequent national tour. I am reluctant to label their reunion efforts a wild success. However, just in case any of the band members stumble upon our blog, I’m also hesitant to take too many shots at their pride. I’ll let you all come to your own conclusions. But just to give you a starting point, picture grown 40 year-old men performing their boy band hits of yore to mobs middle aged women and tweens.

And if that image isn’t enough, check out this screen shot from my TV. It is truly worth 1,000 words.
