Sundays will Never Be the Same.

Without my Mulder and Scully

It�s now officially post World Series and Fox will NOT be showing the Season Premier of �The X-Files� next Sunday�.which is also my birthday. (You have a few more shopping days, but you better get moving.)

I am so bummed. No little green men, no Cigarette smoking man. No conspiracy or Lone Gunmen or mutant of the week. No angel faced Alex Krycek, the prettiest badboy on television. No banter between Mulder and the divine Dr Scully while riding in the Taurus.

Just as the steamy days of summer give way to the nights of autumn, the Series finishes and the X-Files should be settling in to bewilder us all for another year and make us forget that baseball is over. Call me a geek, I have been called worse, but I loved the X-Files.

I wonder what Keefer is doing on �24� this year. I love his voice

A little Jewel amid the trash

Despite the above lament, I really don�t watch a lot of television anymore other than baseball. The only show I actually ever make a point of sitting down to watch is �Iron Chef� which says something deeply strange about me.

When you watch only baseball, you get to see the same television commercials over and over and over. Southwest Airlines, Gillette Mach 3, Chevy Trucks (Like a Rock) and Subway. Jarod seems like a member of the family by now, he�s in my living room more than my sisters.

I think all the commercials would annoy me more if I didn�t seize the breaks to let the dog out, fold the laundry or pee.

But during the Series, there was this one little jewel of a TV commercial that just fascinated me. It�s for the Mitsubishi Outlander, which is their little SUV .

The spot features a handsome young black man with the sweetest smile who is driving thru the night to a catchy technopop soundtrack. As our hero is cruising, his passengers keep changing every few seconds. It may seem random at first, but if you closely watch the parade of passengers, the ad tells the story of the driver�s journey from boy to man�in just 60 seconds...and they manage to give you a good look at the car.

If you haven�t seen this charming little gem, you can see it here Click the 'View Our TV Commercials' then pick the one called 'Breathe' C�mom. It will only take 60 seconds and it will make up for all those Bob Dole selling Viagra and maxi-pad spots you sat thru.
