Last Man Standing

CityTV here has been running the hell out of a promo about Tim Allen's new TV show "Last Man Standing." Finally giving in to the hype and since it happened to fall between a re-run of 30 Rock's Valentines Day episode and a new Suburgatory, Wes and I decided to give it a view.

Kinda half-watching the show, Wes and I find ourselves glued back to the screen when Tim Allen's character says "so what brings you to Denver?" Wes and I ask each other if we heard what we thought we did and then the character talks about coming from Durango. And then there's discussion about building a new store out by the airport in Thornton.

Yup - that's Colorado. And yes, yet another coinkeydink worth mentioning.

Oh, and P.S. The line that kept standing out in the promo was from Tim Allen's first line of the series: "It's good to be back", hinting on his return to TV, 12 years since Home Improvement went off the air. Wonder if there's any other hint that could be taken from that line?

Rachel Ray

So, Wes and I plop down on the couch and turn on Rachel as she's hosting an episode on newlywed couples. Sherry Shepherd adds the laughs as usual and then the mr handyman segment comes on featuring a Manhattan couple dealing with a small, cramped place and needing help.

In the video feature, the newlyweds talk about their clutter and then of course the woman mentions that they've stuffed as much of the wedding gifts they could in their place, but have a bunch of stuff still in storage at her parents place in, wait for it...

Colorado!

All these coincidences sure make you wonder if something/one/it is trying to tell Wes and I something.

30 Rock

So, leave it to Liz' crazy former boyfriend to try and recreate one of Colorado's notable news stories of the decade. No, not Tebow-madness or Columbine or even Beauty Queen Benet. Just when we'd thought it had escaped the mental memories, there in the middle of Ron Artest Park he does his part to correct "what they missed back there in Denver..." a more newsworthy Balloon Boy escapade!
