Bordertown: Laredo, Project Runway, and Charlie's Angels

TV Picks for October 13

Posted by Elissa Bass (Editor), October 12, 2011 at 03:43 am

Charlie’s Angels, 8 p.m., ABC

Anyone?

Project Runway, 9 p.m., Lifetime

The finale! I should be excited. And yet … I’m not.

Bordertown: Laredo, 10 p.m., A&E

Some of the A&E stuff really creeps me out but this new series looks good: “The premiere of the new series that takes viewers inside the Laredo Texas Police Department's battle against ruthless Mexican drug cartels regularly smuggling huge quantities of narcotics through the city. A routine dope bust yields a lead on a local stash house and intel that a huge load of weed is set to arrive that night. Can the LPD team hit the cartels where it hurts?”

Carol, This is not pre-school. An apology does not erase what one has done. This was a major screw…Read More up for someone who represents the interests of the city and the people of New London at the State Capital. If he is not bright enough to foresee the impact of his actions he should not be employed by the people of the city of New London. This is quite simple really. When we are 4-5 years old a quick heartfelt "I'm Sorry" goes a long way, not so much as an adult with real responsibilities. This attitude with the current administration that they can do what they want and just say sorry has to stop. We need a modicum of accountability among our elected and appointed officials. New London does not have that.

Nicholas, At this point, about the only two positive things that the mayor has, inadvertently, done…Read More for this city is hire people of Zak and Nat Carons' integrity although I can't, for the life of me, figure out why the mayor needs an executive assistant. For that matter, he didn't need an administrative assistant either. The city paid dearly, and is still paying, for the mayor's insistence on an impressive office and staff. I don't believe "hoping" is going to accomplish anything and unless people begin to actually DO something, I'm afraid that we are going to find ourselves in deeper doo-doo.

Very good comparison. I also wanted to add that the Ct. College students that believe what Finizio…Read More has to say remind me of The Children of the Corn. After speaking with a friend we realized that Mayor Finizio is like a college student. I just wish he knew that real life does not work this way. New London has already played this game with the Giordano lady years ago. Remember her she was from Ct. College and also was going to make New London a hip city. We got homeless people and brownfields. So much for that idea. Been their done that. How about a new idea for once. Please don't think about shutting down State St. that too was a bad idea. Just ask Mr. Hyslop and Ms. Glover how their ideas worked out. It doesn't matter anyways it's all about the votes and getting your Children of the Corn on the Council. I mean come on drivers licenses for illigals who ever thought that one up.
