New Television

Jun 01, 2005 12:50

The amount of television I've been watching over the last week or so is substantial. It's more than a crapload; I'd describe it as a "royal" crapload, or perhaps even a "crap megaton." Furthermore, I've managed to watch this crapload of programming without ever glancing at live TV: everything I've watched has been TiVo'd, purchased on DVD, or ( Read more... )

not that this has anything to do with your entry....but do you know a good book on conversational english grammar (when to use as hyphen or a comma, etc)?

The Elements of Style.

Then perhaps you're qualified to explain to me why I can't seem to get into NewsRadio. I don't dislike it, and generally when I watch it I end up laughing somewhat, but afterwards I feel empty and unsatisfied - much like the way I feel after I visit a whore.

not sure, dude. maybe it's not dramatic enough? i really like the characters; the plots/situations may not be as strong as other shows, but the actors really fit into their characters nicely. note that we're not talking about any of the episodes after phil hartman died.

Hello...Smallville...

Re: umm adupont June 21 2005, 00:35:02 UTC

Yeah, not so much. Smallville is not my cup of tea, nor is it my cup of anything else, unless we're talking about something a human should not drink. Like, I don't know, crap.

Re: umm amanse June 21 2005, 02:09:25 UTC

lol, You must have that confused with Veronica Mars, Ed, and Scrubs--which when combined =the epitome of feces. Smallville, however, is highly addictive and the plot is more substantive than the other three god-awful shows you adore. But alas to each their own

Re: umm adupont June 21 2005, 02:35:55 UTC

Yes, to each their own, as you've helpfully reminded me after telling me three of my favorite shows are shit. Granted, I called Smallville shit, but at least I called it a "cup of shit," which implies that it's at least well-organized and also consists of a cup which, presumably, is not itself made of shit.

Which is why I'm wondering why you've pointed this out. Clearly neither of us is above this bickering - but, well, you started it. You came into my blog and tossed down a television gauntlet. Did I do something to you? Did I walk into your blog and start lecturing you on the value of paragraphs?
