Writer's Block: Gone but Not Forgotten

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't watch TV anymore, mostly because I don't have the time, and also because of a Law of the Universe which seems to state "If E likes this show, it shall immediately and forthwith be cancelled and replaced with some crappy show about Relationships and Shopping. Set in a Hospital with Serious Doctors. And something about Lawyers and Crime Investigations. and Real Reality. Because Americans Love Crap."

BUT, I liked Eerie, Indiana. It was on when I first moved to Greencastle, IN. So perfect!

and Space, Above and Beyond. My ex and I would watch this on Sweetie Day, when it wasn't postponed due to stupid old baseball.

Oh! and Wizards and Warriors! I used to watch that with my best friend Liz. And Roar! & Robin of Sherwood with Sean Connery's Hottie Son!

Northern Exposure ("Fretless Bass! Fretless Bass!"). X-Files (well, some of them. I liked the creepy-crawly one-off episodes much better than the "Our Alien Overlords" ongoing story line).

And Star Trek. The real one, with Captain Kirk.

Damn...there WAS such a thing as good TV. Once Upon A Time.

ps: oh, maybe The Visitor...I watched it because I just love Chris in the Morning, AKA John Corbett. The story line was pretty repetitive, but I was hoping that with time, it would become less formulaic.

Ya, but now you can netflix them all and watch with no interruptions.

haha! But there's that whole "not enough free time" thing

I did find it helpful to have movies piaying in the background while I was putting together furniture the other day, though, so maybe that's something I could do...have the shows on while I do something else that needs doing.

Lord, I never missed 1 episode of Northern Exposure! These days I prefer epi's I can rent so I can skip those darn Burger King & Kmart commercials. *giggles*

Lately, I'm into House & Deadwood. Lookin' for somethin' new aleardy.

I've caught a couple issues of House. It's pretty good.

My mom loves Deadwood. I watched an episode with her and it was OK, but i didnt' know what was going on, so I guess that's why it didn't grab me. The costumes & actors/actresses were pretty, though.

I am.. more surprised than I should be that you've heard of and loved the same obscure shows i did... I couldnt even remember the NAME of that show but had the faint memories of a series that had me busting out laughing when it aired way back before the dawn of common VHS.

and Space Above and Beyond... another 'that OUGHT to be a classic'.. you'd think the USMC would have sold off assets to pay the networks to keep that show running... Ah, Handsome Alvin... among other wonderful moments of TV...

And i agree about X-files... the only ones I never really liked the big plot arcs but some individual shows.. partucularly the ones with a good sense of humor were priceless (Pizza Delivery Vampire anyone?)

Any night youre thinking of cueing any of those up call me and I'll bring the popcorn :)

*HUGS*
