What's On TV

So you all know that I am a big Joss Whedon fan (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Firefly fame); you also know that Joss doesn't have anything on TV right now. We are waiting for him to get his Wonder Woman script into production, but who knows when that will be. Instead we are left with what is on TV now. So here's my rundown of what I think is at all worth watching on TV given my self imposed limits.

First, a short list of what not to watch. Any thing with news (AP stories will get you a lot further), anything with no characterization whatsoever (ie most Law and Order franchises), and anything with a talking head (Think for yourself and screw Hannity and Combes or whoever).

What to Watch or What I Watch

We know that Veronica Mars is one of Joss's favorites. And can you blame him! It is
a detective show where the dectective is a college age woman who's father is a PI. A modern day Nancy Drew with witty dialogue and a sexy star. (grr)

How I Met Your Mother.
A show about how Ted met his wife. We don't know who his wife is, which makes it more interesting to watch. The show has been compared to friends, but I think the show is funnier, the characters are more interesting and Barney is way more of a stud than Joey. Plus, I like red heads (Allyson Hannigan).

Lost.
God damnit. I got sucked into another JJ Abrams show.

Heros
The premise is what happens when ordinary people discover they have superhuman powers. The show has an arc that has sucked me in. The writers have kept the "worry line" alive and now we just have to wait to find out if they save the cheerleader do they really save the world. The best part of this show is that it has interesting characters. The Japanese suit who can bend the space time continuum; Ali Later's character who is, well, sexy, and has an evil or at least purely pragmatic alter ego; the artist who paints the future, but only when he's high on heroine; and the indian Doctor who is searching for his father's killer and seeking to walk in his father's intellectual footsteps.

Ok. So I also watch nip/tuck, but I only fast forward to the "good parts"!

More later. Let me know if I'm missing anything else.

The Blog is dead; Long Live the Blog

So... I really haven't been a very consistent blogger. :(

But I have been steady Eddy on the Podcast. :) I've had loads of fun on it.

In any case, I wouldn't count on lots of new posts here, but I'll probably start posting a little more frequently.

In any case, here is something a little funny to whet your appetite.

It's called Neitzshe Family Circus. It pairs a Neitzsche quote with a Family Circus cartoon. Thanks to NoodleFood for this one.
