Damn you, FOX!

I’m physically ill right now… I just finished watching a couple of episodes of Futurama and switched back to cable. What wonderful programming was I greeted with? Why, none other than The Littlest Groom, which aims to help “a young man who is 4�5� tall to find true love”.

Is this the level to which the TV-watching American public has sunk? I mean, they cancelled Firefly for that piece of crap? And how about Keen Eddie, which was originally on Fox and I’m now finding to be an excellent show? This kind of thing makes me want to beat the head in of everyone I meet who watches that “reality television” crap!

I totally agree. This “Reality TV” stint the networks are on really blows the big one. Hopefully Bravo will do another season of Keen Eddie.

What is sad is that 75% of my favorite television shows are on HBO, a pay channel. FWIW, however, my top three shows are on the Fox/Fx networks (24, The OC, The Shield).

You don’t even want to know what all of us ANGEL fans are feeling/thinking/saying right now. Why do we get these stupid reality shows that only cater to the basest among us, yet cancel shows that are smart and original?

Quick Notes

FreakAngels: A free, online comic by the master: Warren Ellis. I've been a huge fan of Ellis for years and this new comic looks pretty darn good. (1 comment); Feb 17, 08 at 07:31 pm
Warcrafter: Searching around for something to allow me to "try out" gear, I found Warcrafter, which is pretty neat. It's still "beta", but lots of nice features. And, of course, there's Ghrikk. (0 comments); Jan 19, 08 at 07:38 am
Neighborhood Walkability: Neat site that utilizes Google information and maps to get a quick look at how "walkable" your neighborhood is. I'd love to live somewhere that I could walk to lots of stores and such rather than having to drive. (0 comments); Dec 15, 07 at 01:27 am
Free With Mats: Nice, upcoming WoW site that lets you find gems/enchants as well as has user-submitted information on tradeskill crafting. Once more profiles are added, it should be a nice way to find people to craft items, do enchants, etc. (0 comments); Dec 5, 07 at 11:40 am
Cleaning out OS X Languages: I used "Monolingual" myself a while back, but here's some good info on possible options. Be sure to read the comments, too. (0 comments); Nov 8, 07 at 08:37 am
Are Compact Fluorescents Worth it?: Someone does some quick math showing just how much you can save in even a single month by switching your lights from regular incandescents to CFLs. (0 comments); Oct 30, 07 at 07:29 am
Next Midrange Graphics Card: If the AnandTech review is accurate (and I've always liked their reviews), the forthcoming NVIDIA 8800 GT card may be a fantastic compromise between great performance and moderate price. (0 comments); Oct 29, 07 at 07:36 am
Toyota WoW?: So, apparently, this is a real Toyota commercial that was aired this week during a college football game. Don't know about you, but I was cracking up! (1 comment); Oct 7, 07 at 04:54 am
