This has been a television season like no other: I just keep jettisoning shows. It’s very liberating. I finally quit Stargate Universe once and for all after being thoroughly bored by the new offering after the mid-season hiatus. That helped me to never even start Caprica after the underwhelming DVD pilot. Idol is fading fast, though I still ( Read more... )

I’m starting to fret about the upcoming television season schedule. It’s happened to me every year since 24 moved to a winter start - and that was what, its second season? I always have a light Fall and then Winter comes and I just get slammed with shows. It’s a combination of shows returning from their holiday hiatus, shows that start now so ( Read more... )

namarie24 did this one ages ago and I kept it in my inbox because it was such an interesting topic. Now that Fall TV is starting up, I think it’s time for me to do. Obviously there will be exceptions to these rules but it’s fun to analyze.

What are the dos and don'ts that will guarantee you'll watch something or not watch something?

Dos:1. An ( Read more... )

I adored the premiere episode of Glee when it aired back in May at the end of American Idol. What a stroke of programming genius from the usually inept monkeys at Fox. I was totally looking forward to this show and was delighted to discover that the new season was starting already! But sadly, the second episode didn’t charm me the same way. ( Ah, push it. Push it real good. )

I got this idea from aurora_novarum. It’s not quite a formalized meme but it’s pretty obvious why it’s getting passed around.

It’s all about the Fox Animation Domination line-up. I’ve already discussed how my television viewing habits have changed since becoming the parent of a toddler. So that means once the Simpsons and King of the Hill are over we ( Read more... )

Yesterday, while I was running down the stairs to the bus stop, a thought popped into my head: wouldn’t it be crazy if we had a pregnant American Idol contestant? I mean, what would the producers do?! And the show runs long enough that if it was timed right, we’d totally see her belly growing and everything ( Read more... )

I originally posted this rant here. I'm reposting for a couple of reasons. I want to check out the back-dating action on LJ. I'm guessing it won't show up on Friends pages but I don't know about subscriptions. I intend to eventually collect and harvest my thoughts from TwoP on previous seasons (and shows) from before I started posting them and ( Read more... )

I don't necessarily want this outcome. But I spend an awful lot of time on TWoP's Grassy Knoll and this is what I think is going to happen. Blake's gone at 4th. He can still get a deal but won't have the sting to his street cred that the title might imply. Plus, TPTB won't have a surly music snob who knows exactly what he wants and that they ( Read more... )

Last Friday my entire profile at MySpace was deleted. Gah! I mean, I think that site sucks and it's ugly. And I can certainly post the results of quizzes here instead. Besides that, pretty much the only blogging I did over there was the occasional rant about Project Runway or American Idol. My "real" blogging is at Knocked Up. But I'm linked ( Read more... )
