So, Smallville's still on. One Tree Hill, too.

It feels like half of the CWs lineup has been on since I was in college, which I know is untrue, but still... people are still watching these shows? But Veronica Mars wasn't good enough. Whatever.

I seem to remember that Tuesdays are always crowded for TV-watching in the fall, and it just got worse with the Fall season of SYTYCD having performance shows on Tuesday.

So, yeah, I made a (probably incomplete) table. I've given up entirely on the Law & Orders and the CSIs. And Bones, I think, since I've missed all of the last two seasons, and I just can't be bothered to catch up.

I think it might be worth catching up on Dollhouse - I watched the first half of the season, and I think I've been spoiled for the end of it, but maybe not. Also maybe going to catch up on Fringe?

( spreadsheets help me feel organized )

The Forgotten - (Is Christian Slater working his way through the networks?)
In the United States, the remains of 40,000 people haven't been identified. When police investigations reach a dead end, civilian volunteers across the country work to name -- the forgotten.

Flash Forward -
When a mysterious event causes the entire world to black out, humanity is given a glimpse into its near future, and every man, woman and child is forced to come to grips with whether their destinies can be avoided or fulfilled.


I haven't been watching Southland. I'm not even sure I know what it's about. Should I be?

Also, want to watch Flashpoint, which will apparently be back on in the US next summer.

What else am I missing?

So, I'm catching up on TV today (remember before the internet, when you actually had to record things that you want to watch two weeks later?) and it is possible that August 19th is my favorite Daily Show ever.

1) It's the episode that covers that town hall where Barney Frank gets asked about the Nazi health care policy he's supporting. In case you missed it the interesting thing is how well-prepared she is, and most of her question got cut out of the major media coverage because they cut straight to the zinger. Seriously, though, why would you put that much effort in to your question, and then decide to ask the gay Jewish guy about why he's being a Nazi?

2) It's got an interview with Tim Gunn.

3) It's got an interview with Tim Gunn where he talks about being in a Marvel comic - with Iron Man. Apparently he actually wears the Iron Man suit in the comic at some point? IDK.

I wouldn't say that I was disappointed with the Divas title, because my expectations were so very, very low, but I am totally going to go have to buy the first issue of Models, Inc.. I don't even care. Tim Gunn! Iron Man!

( interview video behind the cut - probably doesn't work outside the US? and I'm too lazy to edit the embed code )

Up next? Defying Gravity or the season 3 of Slings and Arrows that's been on my desk for 3 weeks.

Oh! also, the greatest-hits episode of SYTYCD is on tonight. I'm a week behind on SYTYCD Canada, haven't watched the top 20 results yet.

(no subject)

You ever have the urge to go to a (magical, nonexistent) psychologist/psychiatrist and go down a checklist of your life and have them tell you whether everything that you do/believe is (based on either some totally artificial construct or a statistical mean or median that may or may not represent healthy for you) normal or not?

It's nothing serious, but sometimes, I'd just like a frame of reference. Even a frame of reference that I would then choose to reject. I feel like I'm under-equipped to navigate, sometimes.
