Incoherent Ramblings
Since I procrastinated doing a follow up to last nights Extras, there is little for me to write about so here are a few thoughts:
-Why does anyone watch The Grammy’s nowadays? The show lost significant credibility in years past, what with giving Milli-Vannilli two Grammys several years ago, and if you look at a list of passed winners, it leaves something to be desired.
-Ricky Gervais and Larry David are responsible for almost every comedy I have followed in my adult life (The exceptions being Arrested Development and South Park). So when I heard they were getting together to talk shop for a show in London, I was a little disappointed it wouldn’t be airing here in the states. Thanks to technological advancements over the past ten years (ala YouTube), we are no longer restricted by geographical borders when it comes to viewing availability.
-Speaking of YouTube, it doesn’t pertain so much to dramatic or comedic television (at least not scripted, anyway) but Sean Taylor must not adhere to the unspoken rule of coasting in the Pro Bowl. I can’t think of a more fitting response then the Japanese call of this play.
-I hesitantly admit that I caught a bit of Desperate Housewives last night. And it seems like a regular occurrence to kill people off in this show. Am I wrong, or is this series still about a small suburban community? There isn’t a drug cartel intriniscally involved, is there? You’d figure after the tenth person in two years turned up murdered, they would form a neighborhood watch or something to deter the violence.
-And finally, I don’t really watch the series, so I can’t attest to it. It is critically heralded and people tell me there are a lot of modern day parallels to war, social politics, etc. So I am probably over-simplifying the case, but the impression I get is Battlestar Galactica is just for masochistic Trekkies.
