Monday Night TV Thoughts

I enjoyed the first episode of “Mike & Molly” but wonder how long it will run before one of the stars ruins the show by shedding 100 lbs. and doing a very special episode of “Biggest Loser”?
On the new “Hawaii Five-O,” Steve McGarrett keeps asking Dan Williams where the nickname “Danno” came from. Is it really that hard to figure out? It’s not like he said, “My name’s Seymour, but my friends call me Danno.” Hmm, your license says your first name is Steven, but you call yourself Steve — why?
A half-hour into NBC’s “The Event,” I was already sick of the flashback flash-forward nature of the pilot and decided I don’t need another show-with-no-answers like “Lost.”
Watching Bill Clinton on Letterman talking about his fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative meetings, I tried to remember anything so positive for society that a former GOP president accomplished after leaving office in my lifetime. Jimmy Carter, a democrat, certainly has done a lot, but where were the continuing public projects of Ford, Reagan, and the Bushes?
