Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed
The New York Times is running a piece called "Obama, McCain and 'The West Wing'," which compares current events to the events of the last two seasons of the show. It hasn't escaped me how similar fiction and reality have become. Clearly, I'm not the only one.

TV blogging: Jews and chicken
So this is me, procrastinating quartet rehearsal. I practiced for about a half hour, and then I compulsively got online to check e-mail. It's an addiction, this IntarWeb thing.
This morning, with the old/new VCR in place (care of ironymaiden and her C, with my gratitude), I watched the tape I was able to make (after all) of the Will & Grace finale. The first ( Read more... ) -

West Wing contemplation
My brother, bless him, gifted me with the second season of The West Wing for Chanukah and I've been watching the episodes and the occasional commentary along with it. Tonight, I watched this week's new episode on NBC. And I think I've pinpointed one of the key reasons why I don't like the new WW.

Media randomness
Doctor Who or should I say Torchwood? drewshi, markbourne and a friend on e-mail all mentioned today's big Doctor Who news: John Barrowman, who plays my beloved Captain Jack, wasn't signed on for season two because he's been signed to his own spin-off series! The series will be called Torchwood (an anagram of "Doctor Who"), based in Cardiff, and supposedly will be ( Read more... )
