They say it takes 30 days to form a habit...

... so, like some other people on my flist, I'm going to try to get back into the habit of posting more regularly with the 30 days of TV meme.

Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled

I have to COMPLETELY agree about Wonderfalls, at least in terms of how Fox utterly screwed it, though I would also add that I find the DVD release really satisfying, so at least there's that. I just wish more people would have had the opportunity to at least see that much of the story play out, and to appreciate how many wonderful (ha ha) things that show had going for it.

I'm still extremely disappointed about TSCC, though. Not only did it contain the kind of writing that I think should be rewarded (though I do think that two seasons is a decent run these days, all things considered), but I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. Like, REALLY. I want to corner Josh Friedman in a coffee shop and MAKE HIM TELL ME.

Hi! I owe you email! I know you are waiting with bated breath! :)

Yeah, I'm really glad they tied up the first arc. But it was so apparent that FOX didn't even want the show to begin with.

but I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT

Heh! Me too, me too, but I really liked the finale, as much as it blew things wide open (maybe because it blew things wide open), and I think I also knew, deep down inside, that we'd never find out what was really going on before FOX cancelled it no matter what. Because--FOX.

I haven't seen it! I hear it's really good, and I meant to TiVO it when SyFy ran it recently but missed it. Maybe next time...

Yeah, I flailed around at a few lowly occupations after college while I was figuring out what to do with myself, so I related to Jaye really strongly. And I loved Mahandra.

It was a bit of a gamble for me, since I have been unable to get further than 30 pages into Kavalier and Klay in several attempts,

Strangely, I have had the exact opposite experience. I loved Kavalier and Clay, but I've started The Yiddish Policeman's Union a couple of different times now and I keep bouncing off of it. One day I know I will pick it up and it will be the right book at the right time, but so far that hasn't happened.

Wit's End, on the other hand, I really really liked. Of course, a book about the relationship between text and readers with a plot involving online fandom told with lots of dry humor is basically a book written exactly for me.

That is exactly how I feel about Kavalier and Klay. But that day has not yet come.
