As always I've been entertained by the best-of-the-year and best-of-the-decade lists that have been rolling out over the past six weeks or so. I'm not going to make a list of films or music, having consumed such a small portion of either of them. But television is a different story. So in alphabetical order, the ten shows I most enjoyed watching ( Read more... )

In my tags list, I have 14 tags that refer to specific "canons." Of those, 5 are reality shows, one is a book series, and the other 8 are scripted television shows. I'm going to talk now about a summer in which many of them ended, and others ended for me.

( Six Feet Under and Buffy, two ends of the spectrum )

Last night I finally watched the last three episodes of Veronica Mars, which American Idol had been keeping me from. Not that I am not capable of watching two hours of television in one night, but when you meet up with friends to watch VM, only you aren't watching VM, and then you stay out late, there's only so much TV you can watch when you ( Read more... )

So like, did Couch Baron and Joe R trade places just for the recaplets, or are they doing this for just this week, or for the rest of the season, or what? Is this a Sign? I think we all know that Joe R is grouchy about Idol, but I didn't think CB was all that down on VM, even with the new direction ( Read more... )

• Real world stuffs first.
  
  • I wore orange and maroon on Friday.

  • I flipped $25 to Planned ( Read more... )

I got a comment from scrabble (thanks, Rach) alerting me that Kristin of E! was reporting that VM was cancelled, so of course I ran over to see, and since then there's been an update:And according to CW insiders, the CW has not officially canceled Veronica Mars. However, here's the catch: They are currently considering a different format for the fourth ( Read more... )

Harry/Draco Types: If I had an H/D story, where should I post it? It isn't a first time story, but a them-as-adults story. (emmagrant01, don't you have some sort of comm or something? I think legomymalfoy's is a first time one isn't it?) Why I have this story will become clear later. Thanks ( Read more... )

So many spoilers below. No CSI, Studio 60, or Top Design next week.

( How I Met Your Mother: Stuff )

You know, one of the things I really don't like about LJ is that if you post on the weekends you don't get comments. Anyway, despite lack of interest, on with the television:

( How I Met Your Mother: Lucky Penny )

So I'm watching five fictional television shows pretty regularly right now: How I Met Your Mother, Studio 60, Veronica Mars, Ugly Betty, CSI. I also watch whatever Magical Elves is doing (Project Runway/Top Chef/Top Design) though I felt that Top Chef 2 was really disappointing and seeing Tim Gunn's cameos on Ugly Betty made me miss PR all the ( Read more... )
