Well, that's six years worth of TV watching I'll never get back. Now what the hell am I going to do on my Tuesday nights?

Speaking of V, I just happened to catch the "re-imagining" of V on ABC. So far, it's kind of eh. As I told right, it felt much more rushed than the original, which had a nice TV-movie-sized block to fill. For a pilot of a weekly series, this one had too much exposition to cram into an hour. It also feels doubly derivative: the "rebel teenager" character ( Read more... )

Whoops, I forgot that everyone is doing a "post for 30 days" thing in November, and I've already missed a day. My excuse is that SyFy channel was playing the entire 16-hour "V" mini-series, from which I could barely tear myself away. SO 80s ( Read more... )

This was too good not to share, which I came across a while back linked from someone else's blog:

I almost never watch "The Office", which I know everyone says is supposed to be great. So how come both times I've remembered to turn it on lately, it's been the same episode: Where the go to Scranton and Steve Carrell just wants to throw a big party in his hotel room.

"I hope that's urine."

I finally have a good icon for talking about LOST... on the few nights when I actually get to see it real-time, instead of days later.

But, man, they're starting to lose me. They haven't really answered any of the questions from last season, they invented games to play all summer, there'll be six episodes, then a six or eight week hiatus. It's ( Read more... )

Why did I watch the replay of Jericho last night? I should have known it was going to freak me out. It's a good thing it's on Wednesday nights, when I have GVO rehearsals. In any case, I don't have time or energy for another ensemble-cast serial show ( Read more... )
