TV--not all evil
I have several pet peeves. It's a girl's right, is it not? But one of my big ones has to be people who proclaim that "TV is evil" or "I never watch TV" or my personal favorite "There's nothing good on TV."
Yeah, well, I don't believe you. None of you. I think you're lying. Everyone watches TV sometimes, and TV isn't a terrible, hideous, vice of the non-cultured. Remember when A&E brought the amazing Nero Wolfe series to life for a couple of season? Well, that was pretty freaking cultured if you ask me.
So TV and I are good friends.
Tonight, though, was one of the single-best TV nights of my life, and I only watched two hours of it (deadlines call, my friends. Deadlines call.)
But how great was Gilmore Girls!?!?! Oh my gosh! They're back! From the first exchange between Mrs. Kim and Lorelai, I knew that my girls were back in their groove and this episode so didn't disappoint. We had wacky Kirk moments (from the Yummy Bartenders to Mrs. Kim's qualification that Kirk doesn't qualify as a man and therefore couldn't be considered Lorelai's escort.)
We had a wacky cross-town race (48 chairs, 52 Koreans.) We had excellent Christopherness (not a word--but it should be because Rory's dad could totally be a Yummy Bartender.)
Love this show.
Then, Veronica Mars. OH. MY. GOSH. Everything about this show is television perfection. Everything. I bow down at their creative feet and worship at the alter of plot twists. Every little thing can matter sometime, somewhere, and tonight it did.
Wow.
I'm so not worthy.
And I so have to get back to work now.

Absolutely with you! I am so sick of all three of those statements. Along with, (always delivered in a slightly superior tone), "I don't watch TV because I read." Or "our family reads because we don't really watch TV."
Uh...OK. Cause I can do both; didn't realize a person could only do one.
Loved Gilmore Girls...and my Veronica Mars isn't being shown until tonight because of some stupid basketball game.
I admit it - I am an American Idol junkie.
(hides eyes in shame) I even vote....
I never watch tv, seriously. But because the stuff shown on tv in Australia is seasons behind the US my son downloads Gilmore Girls and VM for me - much more civilised since I don't have to fit in with some tv schedule.
I swear to God, that I do not own a TV. But I will watch others.
In other news, my mom, a librarian, thought Cheating at Solitaire was a hoot. She put it on the "recommended" list for Rochester, MN.
I've been ordered to get it.
