On Tonight: The Aviator, Married to Jonas and American Hoggers

What are you watching on Friday night?

Friday, Aug. 31

The Aviator, 8 p.m., Bravo

Leonardo DiCaprio looks so good as the young Howard Hughes. Sooo gooood.

Married To Jonas, 9 p.m., E!

The least interesting Jonas gets a reality show at the time that everyone has completely forgot all about the Jonases.

American Hoggers, 9 p.m., A&E

Again, this genre of ‘weird jobs and the weird people who do them’ does not disappoint. In this episode, the family leaves Texas and heads to Louisiana to wrassle the giant pigs. It turns out Louisiana pigs are far different from Texas pigs. Who knew?

Vincent: first..let me commend you for doing an excellent job! I have a couple thoughts I would…Read More like to bounce off of you: 1. How about a proposal for property tax breaks for seniors? Pick an age..62 or 65. The majority of retirees are on fixed incomes, some of which are on the razors edge right now and are looking at having to move from the area even though they don't want to. Its a shame that people who have lived their whole lives here cannot afford to stay on for retirement. 2. The current property tax credit for veterans is $1000 and has been stuck there since the '60s if I'm not mistaken. It really doesn't amount to a hill of beans given current property values and needs a serious upgrade/higher value. As a combat veteran (Viet Nam) I would be really grateful if this could be improved.

As a general rule, all our…Read More elected officials are intelligent people, so I just don't understand why the Majority party doesn't seem to "get it." Please keep focusing on the problem AND the solution. At some point in time, perhaps other elected officials will finally understand the problem we are in, and realize that we really need to get serious about fixing it. Thanks for your service to the Connecticut's tax payers!

There are power plays between city and state civil engineers,etc.All this is done in the name of "progress"..something I had hoped to see slow down when I moved to Northford. Progess nearly always means ever escalating taxes and rules that eventually push out folks of lower income, turning it into yet another elitist Connecticut town. It's sad the town managers and council can't seem to put their foot down and reign in spending.

I cannot see it ever looking good again. I think it is a bigger bottleneck than we had. Whoever they hired as an engineer should be ashamed to take any money. Very poor planning...or may be plans in the works. The two ugly houses we have to pass when we go from 139 towards RT 80, its sure ugly, and that dentist office should be to torn down. Give it up. We now have an ugly town center. The shopping center at Dairy Queen, is dying for stores, but who would move in? I wish I could move out of town. This is atrocious.

Other than the equipment needed in these two areas there is no longer any large equipment in the area. Clearly crews have picked up and moved on. Is there a funding issue?
