Better TV than we deserve

Oh my god. Did anybody else see Veronica Mars last night?

It's been said before in various place, but last night's Veronica Mars just confirmed that this has been the best season of television ever. Although I felt the ending was a little rushed, that episode had me saying "Holy Shit!" at least ten times. Sunday's Gray's Anatomy left me in tears, the Battlestar Galactica finale has me obsessing over what can possibly happen next, and this week's Prison Break nearly gave me a heart attack. Then there's Lost, which is a different show every week, and all of them are good.

To think, I wasn't sure I could love again after Buffy and Angel, and along comes a season of television where there's not enough room on my DVR for all the dramas I need to watch. And here it is, pilot season, and I have no real way to get in on the game. The Disney deadline is coming up so I'll definitely apply to that, but in the meantime I seriously need to get my shit together. Who knows how long this brilliant age of television will last?

    You're right, TV has been getting better and better the last few years.

    I'm all about Lost (check my podcast thelostlowdown.blogspot.com) and I've heard VM is great. I'll probably get the dvds.

    Is Prison Break worth it? I've never liked Fox dramas.

  2. Definitely watch VM. If you even liked one episode of Buffy, you'll love it.

    As long as you suspend your disbelief a lot, Prison Break is a great show. It's constant action. I like it better than 24, because it just seems better planned out and less random to me.

    You are firing on all cylinders - tv life after 'Buffy' and 'Angel'has proven to be better than ever...I watched VM Season 1 on DVD at Xmas - and now can't wait for Season 2 dvd's to be released....all the other shows you mentioned are good too, and not to forget 'House'... like my kids Berenstein Bears book - too much tv...

Please leave a name, even if it's a fake name. And try not to be an asshole.
