Saving the shows

                                              Every year there are shows that are on the bubble.  This year is no exception.  There are shows that need to be saved from the chopping block.  The five networks will have to decide which shows will stay or go.                                                                                                                                             The choice may have already been determined for some of the shows.  In fact, some of the shows may be coming back next season.  Shows like "C.S.I." and "Castle" are most likely to return next season.  Some fans may be happy to see their shows coming back when the new schedules come out soon.                                                                                                                                                                  There are other shows that may or may not be out in the fall.  They are on the bubble.  Shows like "Forever" and "Battle Creek" have a slim chance of coming back next season.  But then there are have been already been canceled.  Shows like "Selfie" and "The Millers" have already been taken off the schedule.  What a way to go.                                                                                                                When the new fall schedule comes out, there will be some changes in the schedules.  Some shows will stay on the air.  Some shows may be off the air.  Whatever the case, it will be up to the networks to decide.  Because we will find out which shows may it to the fall schedule and which ones are gone.

Television show spinoffs

                                              What could possibly happen if a show does well in the ratings?  It might get a spinoff series.  There are show that have it happening now.  It does not matter if it is a crime drama or a comedy.  Spin-offs are a main stay on any particular network.   The possibilities are limitless when it comes to spin-offs.                                                                                                                                                         One of the shows that a spin-off right now is "C.S.I."   The show is called "C.S.I. Cyber".  It is about a team of agents that investigates crimes that starts in the cyber world.  Those crimes end up in the real world.  The show stars Patricia Arquette as the leader of the team.  The graphics on the show are amazing.                                                                                                                                         A show that is coming to television this fall is called "Chicago Med".  It is a spin-off of the series "Chicago Fire".  The show will star S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt.  We all got a sneak peek of the show on April seventh episode of "Chicago Fire".  What a way to be introduce to viewing public.                                                                                                                                                                 Spin-offs have always been a main stay in the world of television.  It does not matter which network the hit television show is on.  If a show is successful, there is a possibility a spin-off will not be two far behind.  Spin-off always continues the franchise.  So continue to bring on the spin-offs for a long time to come.

It is free agent time in the NFL.

                                          It is that time of year again.  Time for football players to be traded or to be signed by other teams.  This year is no different.  We are seeing some big name players on their new teams.  Whether they are are offensive players like wide receivers.  Even those who play defensively like linebackers will be on other teams.  Trades make big news in the National Football League.                                                      Certain player that have been traded or signed on by other teams include tight-end Jimmy Graham.  He is moving from New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks.  Another player that is moving on is Sam Bradford.  He is traded from the St. Louis Rams to the Philadelphia Eagles for Nick Foles.  Those are big trades by certain teams.                                                                                                            Other players that have moved on that are not as well known are like Shane Vereen.  He played for the New England Patriots.  He will play this year for the New York Giants.  There are others like Julius Thomas that are looking for other teams.  While others like Owen Daniels that will now play for the Denver Broncos.                                                                                                                             There are still others that will retiring this year.  Players like Patrick Willis.  He played for the San Francisco 49ers.  Even quarterbacks like Jake Locker will retire this year.  He played for the Tennessee Titans.  This has been another amazing year for free agents.  May they play well for their new teams.

Old verses new.

                                            Times are changing.  Items that we are use to are changing with the times.  The items we have are phasing out.  New item are taking the place of those items.  From the cars we drive to the phones we carry with us if we need to call for in certain circumstances.  Technology is changing with the times.                                                                                                                                                                       The cars we drive are changing every year.  Now days we have blue tooth technology.  So if some one call us or if we get into a accident,  we are able to get in touch with someone.  We will be able to see behind us if we get out of a parking space using a camera that on the back of the car.  When we do not know where we are going, we have a GPS system to help find our way around town.  What concepts we have now days.                                                                                                                    Phones have changed a lot over the years.  We can use them to surf the internet using Wi-Fi system.  You can also text people.  You can play games on your phone.  You can also get your G-mail on your phone.  It is amazing what you can do on you phone now days.  It is amazing how advanced the phone has gotten over the years.                                                                                                               Technology continues to change.  The phone we use have changed a lot over the years.  Cars we drive continue to change with the times as well.  We will have to see what will coming out as the days and years go by.  There will always be advances in technology.  We may be amazed to see what is coming out soon.
