SO IS IT OVER OR NOT?

With 10 minutes to go in Wednesday night's series Comanche Moon, I fell asleep. Typically, I woke up at the last thirty seconds when the ranger's son is alone and looking out into the Old West.

My wife filled me in on what I'd missed. But neither she nor I could tell if it was over or not. The mini-series I mean. Of course we knew the show was over. I mean c'mon it was 10 o'clock, past my bedtime for three night in a row. So, no wonder I fell asleep.

But it didn't seem to end right. It seems like there should be three more episodes. Lonesome Dove took a lot longer. And Comanche Moon was good.

My wife even remembered where Lonesome Dove picks up from Comanche Moon. So I think it's over, with Ricky Shroeder being alone. "Come back, Shane," is all I remember. OK, I know that's from another Western. What I remember about Lonesome Dove is the parrt where the guy slugs his horse. Huh? Blazing Saddles? Well, I knew it was a Western.

Anyway(s), I love Westerns. But before the Old West was discovered, why weren't there Easterns? I don't know. Yesterday I thought it was the pancakes. Maybe it's the cold after another heavy frost last night. But I really don't know if the mini-series continues or not.
