On Full Tilt . . .

In January of this year, a new show debuted on ESPN.     I had been looking forward to its premiere but, when it debuted, it was on opposite another show that I watched religiously.     At the time, we were "slummin'" -- by that, I mean, we had only one (can you believe it?), only one DVR, so recording was extremely limited.     Then, the high-def big-screen television arrived, which required the high-def satellite receiver - and - B-O-N-U-S - the high-def receiver has double recording capabilities at the same time.     Add to that, the big-screen moved to the master bedroom, along with another satellite receiver with DVR capabilities so, now, at any given time, we can record three different programs at the same time.

By the time the high-def arrived, we had watched the first episode of Tilt live, and missed the second two, because of recording conflicts.     So, we skipped the rest.     This past weekend was Father's Day.     For Father's Day, the cats-and-dogs "bought" my s.o. the complete first season boxed edition DVD set of Tilt, and we have been watching it over the last few days, culminating in the season finale last night.

We set up a large platter of sushi -- Maguro, Sake. Ebi, and Unagi -- with plenty of soy sauce, shaved ginger and wasabi . . . and sat down to watch the last couple of episodes of Tilt.     I have been a fan of Michael Madsen since the very first time I saw him, and his character in Tilt definitely did not disappoint.     It's odd that someone can consistently play such 'bad' characters, and still be such a 'likeable' guy.

I highly recommend Tilt to anyone who likes high drama, twists-and-turns, Texas Hold 'em Poker, and an all-around story that will hold your attention from beginning until the final credits roll . . .
