    Can we discuss how awesome Saturday's Kings was? I'm hearing the show brought in a measley .3 share, and it's getting pulled AGAIN. This true? Any confirmation? God, Americans are idiots.


    Also, any Eli Stone fans? ABC is starting to dump the remaining eps Saturday at 10. Tivo away!

    @PVIII: it was very very good. And it took about that many episodes to get to that pleasant place. Sigh.

    @PVIII: Eli Stone sucks balls. But kings is great. The problem is it's too good. It's so hard to get into that every episode is almost completely impenetrable if you haven't been watching from the beginning.

    Warning to people in the SF Bay Area who want to watch "Kings": it's on channel 36 on Sat. b/c 11 is showing a stupid baseball game.

    Set your recording devices appropriately. I'm glad I did a search!

    Is True Blood really any good? I watched the first few eps, but I didn't really feel like it was going anywhere beyond 'vampires are sexy' and 'vampires are a metaphor for social controversial biological impulses.' But my friends tell me it's good. Am i way off base?

    Comedy Central is showing a special mini-marathon of the alien-themed episodes of South Park tomorrow evening.


    Cartman Gets An Anal Probe

    Cancelled

    Major Boobage

    Pinewood Derby


    I would have replaced "Major Boobage" with "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" or even the one with Starvin' Marvin and the aliens, but whatever.

    There has to be some billionaire ubernerd willing to start a channel that shows nothing but T:SCC, Pushing Daisies, The Middleman, etc etc. Someone needs to root such a person out-stat.

    @smartboydan is a junior member of R.O.A.C.H.: genre defintions are only used in the rationale if they want to exclude something, like say house which is 'not sci-fi.' when something is already included, however, the genre it's in doesn't seem to matter at all.

    So, that's where Smallville's at now, huh? I stopped watching a couple of seasons ago when I couldn't stand it anymore. But I seem to recall Chloe being the only bearable character left. Have the writers really beaten her down into a useless annoyance? Lame.


    I can't believe it's getting another season. Didn't Tom Welling want out?
