1. Today's Google doodle animation is so lovely! I can't stop watching it. It's just gorgeous. Does anyone know how to save it?

2. Fox kicked off the 2011 schedule announcement season by cancelling pretty much everything it had to cancel, then going back in time to re-cancel Firefly, Arrested Development, and Wonderfalls, because it somehow ( Read more... )

Yeah, I saw all the Fox cancellations, although I can't say I'm surprised by any of them. (Although, as always, I am surprised by the number of people who are all "WHY WON'T FOX CANCEL GLEE?" Maybe because it's the biggest money-maker the network has ever seen?)

Did I know that you liked Keen Eddie?

Ha, right? Perhaps the question is meant rhetorically.

Um...I think so. I seem to recall that we've discussed Fiona's "make Fiona happy day" once or twice ;)

Not surprised about Human Target given what the ratings were. I feel like it could be successful on a basic cable network, although they would have to work with a much lower budget. But if Burn Notice and Leverage can manage, they could probably make adjustments? I thought S2 was better than S1.

Indeed. I have to say, I was surprised it got renewed even. With two seasons, it's hard to say that Fox didn't give it a chance to find an audience.

My brother, who has been watching, said the same the last time we talked about it. I hope for his sake that it gets picked up by cable or another network. He doesn't watch much on tv these days.

It's pretty rare for network shows to be picked up someone else, so. :/

I am really, really enjoying Justified right now! I feel like the dialogue is straight out of a comic book or something. So much sarcasm. "The hillbilly whisperer", muahahaha!

The one thing that bugged me about the second season of Justified is that I found just about EVERYONE ELSE on the show (except Winona) waaaay more interesting than Raylan :P When that show finds its balance, it's gonna be killer.

The double-o scissor kick, and the g sumo squat stomp are badass.

I loved the Google doodle yesterday- we even talked about it in class. The artist also did a short film in that style. Really neat.

Oh, Fox. Always good for a larf.

Oh my god! I think I am in a kind of love with this guy's work. (Although I could have done without the wings/feathers bit.) Now that's a fanvid! ;)

LOL, I didn't think anyone would actually do that. Thank you for the reminder! ;-)

I DVD'd the premiere of Human Target, I think. I can't remember if I ever got to see it or not.
