Sounds like I didn't miss much by using my two tuners for Lone Star on Fox and Rachel Maddow. I don't see Lone Star lasting too long, but it was pretty solid. However, as a Texan, I kept going "Hey! I know that location!" (The fact that they kept using the exact same ticket counter at DFW Airport, shot from a different angle any time it was supposed to represent a different city, helped.) There was actually one shot that looked like it could have been from the Belo Corp. tower, but somehow I doubt that, given that they own a whole bunch of TV stations and AFAIK none of them are Fox affiliates. I see nothing tonight that interests me, new or returning, so I'll have a chance to catch up with the "House" and "Chuck" premieres that I didn't get to last night. -- David J.
