Is the CBS Yahoo list abusing its power?

Image
location : United States, Connecticut, Milford mood : aggravated I just wanted send a quick note before going off to bed, I have been watching the NCIS marathon and the one that’s currently on is Faith .    I am not sure how long I will be able to stay up as it is getting late.   Earlier this evening I replied to a post on the CBS Yahoo NCIS list regarding last week’s episode.   A few hours later I received an email informing me the me ssage was not approved because I made references to the Natalie Wood case. Have to admit my first reaction to SOTF was a bit harsh due to the Timing but I had an opportunity to watch it this weekend (even with The super-buffering and stalling) and found it very enjoyable. the Initial interrogation was a bit spooky as it could have happened in RL for him.   I was asked to please revise and resubmit.      It annoyed me because of the tone but I succumbed to it. have to admit my first reaction to SOTF was a bit...

Thanksgiving Weekend

I really loved the Thanksgiving Day marathon it was aweso me .   I got to see so me of it before the family arrived and I saw the last one before the holiday weekend started.   There is one tomorrow starting at 9 AM.   I think it lasts until 11 tomorrow night.   I will be a happy camper. Next week’s CBS airing is a repeat so I won’t be watching it-I might don’t know yet.    I finally got to watch last weeks episode there was so me buffering and stalling but I just muddled through it.   I have to retract my original “review” from Tuesday.   I did find the initial interrogation a little spooky as I could imagine that kind of discussion going on in RL. I am really enjoying the ignore feature on two of the forums I visit.   Between the spam me rs for various things plus a few people who are insisting on being obnoxious know-it-alls it’s getting much more enjoyable. There are a few more stories written in the fandom.   I haven’t had a c...

Disappointed

The episode is on right now and within 3 minutes of it being on I feel this episode should have been moved or bumped to another time especially in light of the current situation that’s going on right now.   I didn’t even bother to watch the entertainment news reports because they had more reports.   Actually I did see something and I am not even sure what it was about but from what I gather it wasn’t good.   I don’t know whose idea was even to let this get produced or even filmed and I think it behooved the Silver haired Fox to have stepped in and suggest that it not be done.   Please don’t tell me these people don’t have a say in what gets done.   I have heard stories over the years in which cast members from various projects have been able to speak their minds when it comes to certain things.   This was the height of irresponsibility.   I am really very disappointed in the cast and crew and the programming department at CBS network.

The Holidays

Ahhhh    I just love the holiday season.   The networks set out the holiday schedule.   Deciding what of their line up will air which episodes (hey I am tired so sue me).   It becomes troll Season on the various message boards with the stupid inflammatory questions and pots questioning your reasons (and some times your sanity) for watching said show that is apparently from hell.   God freaking forbid you should ask said troll or poster (for the politically correct) you get stomped on for questioning their right to hate the show!   Case in point: this thread-this was my response .   There was another thread on the same board.   I am waiting for the Legal department (AKA WC2) to say something.   There is another inflammatory post at the CBS board with the same intend.   I swore I would not comment but as you can see from the above post it didn’t work. For some reason I am still getting email alerts regarding the community I left (un...

This week in NCIS

Good Morning my fellow NCIS/Mark Harmon fans.   I trust your weekend is going well?   I can honestly say it is despite the unpleasantness in the fandom earlier this week. As I suspected my posting privileges at the Navy_NCIS community were banned.     So I decided to stop following and stop being a member.   I am all for expressing opinions and respecting the other point of view.   However they were not respecting me and I felt I had a right to say that.   I am not just going to follow the pack mentality whether it is pro or negative.   So my recommendation is this if you want to get as much info or discussing on NCIS and all that it entails and want to be treated fairly this community I don’t feel will do that for you. I will reiterate one other thing.   If the show is no longer providing you with the kind of entertainment you are looking for then don’t keep watching it.   A fan is a fan and you don’t have to like every single nuance ...

Had a rather unpleasant experience

NCIS Episode Discussions

First I want to welco me all new me mbers and followers.   I hope you enjoy your stay here and I hope you also find it so me what entertaining.   The Episode discussion for Engaged Part 1 on the CBS Yahoo Group was reaching levels of Heated levels so much so that Administration asked that it be taken off the list and into private emails and to discuss so me thing else.    It was over the sa me things.   So me people feel they have a right to constantly complain about things.   Well good.   I constantly want to say I don’t like LT Col Mann.   She was pushy abusive of power and took away from my enjoy me nt of the show.   How many freaking ti me s am I going to say it?   On forums I am not sure.   It depends on the mood I am in.     Well the moderators need to look at the postings before they let them through.   I know there were many that I have posted that were arbitrarily not sent through.   That’s one of th...

The Mark Harmon Fan Wiki is sending holiday wishes to Mark

Send Christmast Greetings to Mark Harmon

Happy Birthday Brian Dietzen

Image
Let’s start off wishing Brian Dietzen (aka Jimmy Palmer) a wonderful birthday.   Our Favorite Autopsy Gremlin’s birthday is today and fans are already sending birthday greetings to the actor.   Unfortunately some one is now spreading rumors already . Despite my best effort to stay away from forums during the day (aka while working) I did spent a lot of time there today.   Discussions on Certain Prey have been very interesting.   I still have to see it and hopefully not at some ungodly hour either.   I think the next time it is on it’s around 11 pm this weekend. When I read the reviews or the comments at the various sources I wonder if The Harmon’s have read them or ignored them?   Some of them are down right hurtful and although it is part of the package being in the entertainment industry I have to wonder what the reactions were?   I know I couldn’t be a performer as I would take what people say to heart.   I get the impression so do the ac...
Hey all!   I think I am going through with NCIS withdrawals.   Any ti me the show isn’t on I get bored.   There are a bunch of movies that I could be watching but don’t want to because I have seen them so much.   The sa me could be said about NCIS.     So I have been trying to move so me Google alerts around and so me were about Mark, Cote , and the show.   I only read one this ti me for Mark and I even followed the link.   To this site it see me d to be a collection of things related to Mark. The birthday greetings continue to be posted at the Facebook page for Cote .   So me have been very nice and there is one that basically is crude.   Then there are several “Love the show”.   Yeah we get that or you wouldn’t be posting to the Facebook page. There have been a couple of fanfiction.net stories that were updated in the NCIS arena.   This one is excellent.   I have been following it for a long ti me and it seems...

Here is today's NCIS marathon line up

This Week in the NCIS world

Part one of the NCIS two part arc Engaged got mixed reviews.   I had to wait to see it as it was election night.   The first time I saw the episode was 3 am and I found it to be meh.    I thought the dream sequence was a little awkward (made him look somewhat delusional) however I have since thought other wise. The antics of Abby in the scene were a little overboard but to be honest it hasn’t been that bad to me this season.   Some are complaining that the show has taken liberties to far (the civilians would not go after the Marine).   Everyone is enjoying Michael Weatherly’s daily tweets.   There are those who doubt it is the actor but others have confirmed that it is by the other cast mates.   He is having fun with Writer Chris Wilman, co-stars Brian Deitzen, Chris O’Donnell. There have been lots of Google alerts as usual for the show and cast and crew.   I haven’t gotten a chance to read them all but I am saving them to the Entertainmen...

Happy NCIS Tuesday

Mark Harmon and his lovely wife Pam Dawber attended the TV guides Hot list party last night.   There is already a video for ET posted on the forums this morning.   I first saw the picture of Mark on Twitter last night. This morning I was watching CBS TV news and there was a promo for an interview with Mark Harmon.   The journalist Rhianna sat down with him recently and they are talking about among things what he likes about NY and how he feels about his son playing young Gibbs.   I replied to her tweet that I will have to miss it but she says it will be on tomorrow morning as well.   That means I need to be up when the morning news hour begins.   I posted it to a few forums.   It has not posted to the CBS NCIS list (and that annoys me) For the last two days CBS and Twitter and Facebook were collectively promoting CBS stars would be taking over twitter for their prospective shows from 2-4 pm Pacific Time all day today.   This morning it was an...

Certain Prey the day after

While I was at work I decided to do some searches for Certain Prey and there was a paper called the Deadbolt Interview that had an article and some comments.  They enjoyed the movie except for the swearing.  This one from Gather had a good review.  The discussion of the movie is still remaining within the mark Harmon appreciation threads on the CBS forum.  Of course this place loved it at least from first glance.  I haven’t checked the other threads.  Of course my friends at the Mark Harmon Addicts Forum  are over the moon about it. J I will check the different forums through out the day to see if anymore reactions come through.  I will also check the different community blogs to see what their reactions to it are as well. I do wonder what Mark’s cast mates thought of the movie and if they all watched it.  I will check twitter and Facebook later.

Certain Prey after thoughts

Certain Prey after thoughts Nov. 7th, 2011 at 7:07 AM Well I saw the first half hour of it and found it entertaining.   Even though I did feel finding out that the woman lawyer got really involved quickly a little to fast.    I didn’t see the second hour because I was going to bed but stayed up to do other things.   This in no way says I found it boring or bad as some have said at the Certain Prey board there were one or two who felt it   was good.   Some were just plain rude and obnoxious about it.   I think these are the book snobs.   Members of one of the LJ NCIS communities instead of talking about the actual movie they were discussing which feed they had.   Apparently the international feeds were weird.   It was rather annoying to me.   I will look later.   Mardi watched and enjoyed.   Members of the IMDB for NCIS seemed to have enjoyed it but t...

Tonight's the night

Well in less then thirty minutes the NCIS Mark Harmon wraps marathon will be over and the premiere of Certain Prey will start with a second viewing to follow.   I am getting nervous. Although there have been many Google alerts through out the day there are also stupid and rude com me nts such as these here .   If you are fan of Mark Harmon then you know he doesn’t have a vain bone in his body.   He has been saying right along that he has been a fan of the author and of the series since 1980.   Com me nts only prove that people are either jealous or have no clue as to what they are talking about and just have to tear people down to make them selves feel adequate. Oh and this discussion showed up again and it showed up here too.   Of course I made few com me nts and that’s about it.   As everyone who posts on these boards should probably know it will co me up again.

Things I have seen

Bright an early this morning I received a Google alert for David McCallum apparently there is an artist who does celebrity portraits.   He did an excellent one of Mr. McCallum.   The Artist Na me is Daulle.   I have never heard of him.   He is from France and has done many stars portraits. My friend abbygibbsmorgan posted a cute 1 chapter story to Livejournal in the gibbs_abby community and on fanfiction.net.   It was from the scene from season seven when Mike Franks loses his finger from the Reynosa family. There is a great Halloween Fic from Hawk_soaring that she posted after she got her power back from the recent Nor’easter.   That is one I highly recom me nd as well. There was another Google alert this ti me for Rocky Carroll.   This ti me it wasn’t about him but the Lewis and Clark Men’s running team in Billings Montana (I think). taylorgibbs wrote back in my Interview’s Entry that she couldn’t find any thing else from that intervi...

Interviews

Image
Well I have to say I just saw Good Day LA on their Fox station and I swear that Steve guy is a moron.   I have never liked their style of interviewing and I give Mark and anyone else that appears on that show a lot of Credit.   They are rude and obnoxious.   I even left a comment on their board.   There is a discussion on the Mark Harmon Addicts board.    TaylorGibbs saw this mornings “Today” segment and she said it was three minutes long. There is a USA article on Certain Prey.    I will find it again when I am home.   I don’t know how some of these people find this stuff.    I probably could find them because of the Google alerts but they are either about someone else or someone’s website or blogs.

A decision has been made

The MHA forum admin team has decided to keep the home thread open.   They also precipitated it with a warning that if the thread beco me s abusive they will delete it.   I absolutely agree with the outco me . By all accounts it would seem that many if not all really enjoyed last night’s episode.   They felt it was team centered, the mo me nts were touching yet humorous and many believed this reflected season one or season two episodes. I do agree with Nasloranger on a few points she made about the show .    For years we have heard what a first class gold digging bitch Diane was and now we get to see her as vulnerable human.   She nags and coerces her two ex-husbands to look into the disappearance of her third (and perhaps final) husband.    She beco me s a suspect and abusive to Gibbs and to McGee when she finds out.     To me it makes Gibbs look like he was completely to bla me for his marriages failing.   It takes two and fro...

Now it really is gone

Do you remember when I mentioned last month about the CBS Forum ?   Well as of yesterday afternoon it was offline.   The Facebook discussion forum is still alive.   Our friends to the North of us got to see this week’s episode last night.   They seemed to like it and from the pictures it should be good…I have a feeling this will a moment that LJG will reflect on his part of his marriages failing.   There are some stills from the episode that are really cool and handsome.   I will save them to my collection later. A very interesting thread ca me up today on Mark Harmon Addicts Forum .   One of the members felt very uncomfortable with the thread and suggested it be removed.   She gave her reasons why and I pretty much can see where she is coming from but like I said there if we as fans don’t act on it and remember that this is residence and not public domain then it should be okay.   I brought up the incident that I really objected to bac...
