Superman is the only superhero I care about

The Author of this post is Velma Baird

Others fell in love with the Flash and others fell for the Hulk. But the only superhero that needs no introduction is Superman.

If you mention Superman to a random individual, almost all of them know exactly who you mean from the get go. The ability to "leap tall buildings with a single bound" is almost trivial compared to Superman's ability to capture the hearts and minds of countless people from different societies. No matter how young or old a person is, they can fall instantly in love with Superman.

How many characters can boast the ability to be nearly invulnerable, yet still have issues that everyone from all walks in life can relate to? While I love to dream about having his ability to fly, I believe that Superman's uncanny ability to make countless people love and admire him is perhaps his true super power.

Every time I turn on direct tv nyc, I instantly begin searching to find a Superman cartoon. Thanks to his extreme popularity, he's featured in countless different superhero shows.

My friends have tried to tell me that Superman isn't the greatest of the superheroes, because he has too many powers. But no one will ever convince me that a character who has nearly god-like invulnerability, yet remains so caring and protective, isn't truly the perfect example of what a superhero should be.

Nascar Sprint Cup Race

Contributed by Milford Woods

Nascar is one of my favorite sports to watch on TV. I have been watching the Nascar Sprint Cup Race for the Chase on my satellite television at home. My friends come over most of the time and we have fun watching the game together now that I ordered satellite tv through http://www.directstartv.com/localchannels/Michigan/. Each person has their own favorite driver they are rooting for. My favorite driver has been Kyle Busch for a long time now. I love watching him race, it just amazes me how well he can do. There are only a few games left in this racing series, and Kyle is currently third in points. He will be in the final race, but he still has to do good on the next few races. The competition is going to be getting good, because they are all trying to do the best they can to be able to place in the top ten. I am excited to see who will be the drivers in the final race. It is going to be a close race with a lot of excitement. I am looking forward to seeing Kyle Busch win the final race. I know he can win. He is one of the best Nascar drivers. My friends will be watching the race with me, it is going to be one of the best races ever.

Our Family Can't Wait for No Ordinary Family

This guest post from Lenny Mcknight

Today, it seems like there isn't much on that we can watch as a family. This Fall, a new show is coming out that I am hoping we will all be able to hang out and watch together in front of the satellite tv through TVByDirect.com. No Ordinary Family is about a family that goes on a vacation together and comes back with some kind of super powers. One is strong, one is fast, one can read minds and the other one is really smart. It makes me think of the animated movie The Incredibles.

We are all going to check out the first episode together and I can't wait. There are so many things that we can't let the kids watch and I am hoping that this is something that I will be appropriate. I am sure that it will have its share of language and even some violence, but there are just some other things that I don't want the kids to see. Also, it seems like a show that might have some type of message about value and integrity.

From what I have read, the characters sound interesting and I don't think it is going to be predictable as some people have said. When it comes to families, you just never know what will happen.
