TV Shows and Movies
I watch a lot less TV now than I used to. Most
of it sucks, frankly. But there are a number of shows that I follow. Some
are excellent, others are guilty pleasures:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Witty show that perfectly mixed drama, comedy, satire, intelligence and action. It doubles as a perfect metaphor for young lives, and after seven years, offered the best dialogue and character development you could find in any medium. Visit my Buffy page for more. |

The Daily Show
The funniest show on TV. John Stewart and his cast have achieved something better than making fun of stars, shows, and society; they make fun of the media itself, and all the sensationalism and inanity contained within.
Here are some great Daily Show wallpapers and photos. |

Lost
Lost is finally over, but it went out with a bang, and I for one think it wrapped up well. Except, of course, for the 50 remaining plot details they never answered. In other situations, those would be known as plot holes.

Veronica Mars
Great cast in a complex and spunky show with a hot Miss Mars. Download some new Wallpapers here! |

Firefly
Short-lived ensemble show with nine great characters in a space Western. The DVD set is great. Serenity, the movie, was even better! |
|
Six Feet Under
Wonderful. Another I'm catching on DVD, recommended by the lovely Rachel. I just finished the first three seasons. |

How I Met Your Mother
Catching this one on DVD - you'd think it'd be a regular, formulaic comedy, but somehow it works and is hilarious. Also nice to see a lot of accurate NYC jokes. No idea why they feel compelled to squeeze in the weird framing element of his kids, though. |
Freaks & Geeks
Just watched this spectacular but short-lived show on DVD. Check it out immediately! (See photos on left) |

The Office
Ok, I watched the whole run of this British show. Sometimes I couldn't make out half of what they're saying, but the other half was hilarious, and I thought it would be impossible to top. But the American version did it, and how.

Angel
This Buffy spin-off had its ups and downs, but sometimes hit on great stories. Some of the supporting cast was pretty weak, though. Spike was the best thing about the last season, but now I'm glad it's over. |

The Simpsons
Most brilliantly executed, longest-running satire ever created. Misses out on due recognition because of prejudice against cartoons. It should keep running forever ... when are they finally going to create an all-Simpsons network? |
|
Batman Adventures/
Justice League Unlimited
Best cartoons ever created. Terrific drama, cool noir art. Justice League Unlimited this season was spectacular! All of the episodes were part of a large chain that culminated in a grand finalé. The best part - the Speed Force! Also, The Question! |

The Middleman
Go find this obscure show on DVD. If you have a very specific sense of humor that appreciates bizzare sci-fi happenings, ridiculously complex dialogue, running gags and great characters, it's for you. |
Birds of Prey
I listed this here years ago because we were compelled to watch it. The acting on this show made Smallville look like Macbeth, but you had to hand it to Ashley Scott for being really attractive. I wish there were more good things I could say, but no. Good riddance to this guilty pleasure and complete waste of time. But hey, I know you want to see photos and wallpapers, right? |

 Lots more great shows have come and gone. Some of my favorites include
the great Flash TV show (finally out on DVD!), which inspired me to read most of the comics
I do today, the classic Muppet Show, Sliders, Mystery Science Theater
3000, The X-Files, Animaniacs, and Seinfeld.
There are lots of movies that I love, and you can click right here to go to my movie page, which
lists my favorite movies of all time. It's very cool, according to me.
I have to mention a TV show I've grown to loathe:
Access Hollywood. I saw the last five minutes of it by accident
again today and had to add it here. Finding out about celebrities is
a perfectly adequate pasttime, but those anchors creep me out. It's like
they take pride in their insincerity. That guy with the mustache must
be one of the most annoying people on earth after CarrotTop.
