I either cancelled the cable part of my internet/cable company and forgot about it, or I just plain can't figure out how to work the damn thing these days. Either way, no live TVing for me, so my Friday morning pre-work plans consist of 30 Rock. Besides, that's just a great damn way to start the day.

What Alex said. (Except @ 8:00.)

Mine too, only its more a combination of rage and embarassment

Supernatural? 9:00?

Feh. I just watched the Addams Family movie (again). Sheer fun, since I recall the original series very fondly, to the point of once wishing I had them as next door neighbors. They would certainly have been more fun than my cousins.

I'm re-watcing Lost at the moment (my girlfriend hasn't seen it). We're towards the end of season 2 (which has some off episodes but is still engaging). I can't wait to rewatch season 4 (if I remember correctly, season 4 rocks the shit out of everything and everyone).

So, yeah, I'll be watching that tonight rather than of this bullshit that you guys are talking about.

I was going to watch TV tonight, but I've been my mom's tech support for the last three hours, sigh.

Solid night for the Thursday NBC shows. The Office was genuinely uncomfortable (and that is when it is at its best), and Pam's reaction was stunning. "Let me make this clear, I don't give a FUCK if you are happy! Stop dating my mom!" Jim looked like he was in the middle of a tornado, just total shellshock.

Parks & Rec was great, too. I'm going to miss that show when it gets cancelled. And was that Jon Benjamin from Dr. Katz, Home Movies, Aqua Teen, etc, as Leslie's lawyer? Sure sounded like him but I've never seen what he looks like before.

Didn't see "Community" so I'll catch it tonight.

I'm not the biggest "30 Rock" fan in the world but last night was pretty damn great. THAT should have been the season opener. "GE is going to build something big and shoddy."

Jensen Ackles is clearly too generic for us to care about Supernatural. Him and his duck pout and shockingly deep voice and overall awesomeness. So, so generic.

Anyone else ever get the idea that Ackles consciously lowers his voice?

A friend keeps telling me how awesome Flash Forward is, so I've been watching it on Hulu on my lunch breaks. On the one hand, you've got an interesting premise that should lend itself to lots of questions about faith and fate and free will; on the other hand, you've got the utter crap in the last episode that I just watched, with the gay agent lying shot in the street while the alarm-clock-on-wheels her one-date girlfriend gave her spins around and makes pretty patterns with her blood. It was obvious that someone, somewhere, thought this was a really powerful, moving image, when in fact it was utterly, profoundly retarded. Give me a fucking break. And the whole shoot-out was directed so bizarrely, with even more bizarre music laid over it--isn't the "happy music played over tragic or violent scenes" tactic worn out yet? Holy hell. I imagine the shot of the two agents walking in slow motion as they fired at their attackers was supposed to be bad-ass, but it just looked silly from that angle.

So for some reason, that episode really pissed me off, and that, coupled with a clip I saw introducing Dominic Monaghan's character, has me deciding the show isn't worth my time (the clip shows NotRalph throwing some guy around bad-cop style while shouting "Give me a name!", and then Dominic enters and says "The name's Simon," while the camera pushes in and the whole scene is supposed to make the guy seem threatening and tough, but dude, you were a hobbit, you're short and snub-nosed and cute, there ain't no way anyone can make you look bad-ass).

I'll probably still read synopses of the eps because the mystery is interesting by itself, but it's not worth sitting through crap like that on a weekly basis.
