Rested & Refreshed For ‘09

by

Happy new year’s, non-existent readers. Unless we went out of town, I do not recall taking a sabbatical from this site just for the fuck of it. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. Not only was it during New Year’s week (for lack of a better term) and there wasn’t shit worth mentioning as a result, much less attributing entire posts too, but the network essentially malfunctioned and died for roughly two days (this Friday-early Sunday). So we apologize for the inconvenience as you were unable to acccess it, but in all actuality you were wasting your time regardless because there wasn’t shit new here.

But we have one more week to sift through all the bullshit and then the broadcast and cable networks start to get in the full fledged swing of things. Right now FOX is still going to be interrupting regular programming with college Bowl games (tonight and Thursday) and several series’ aren’t picking up until next week because networks are under the impression that enough suspense hasn’t been built between now and then for their season premieres. Maybe their right. I mean, for some of them its only been a year or so.

As far as we can tell, we’ll be posting recaps/reviews for the following shows: FNL, Flight of The Conchords The Office and maybe Nip Tuck. I think Survivor will be picking up their new season relatively soon, but not until at least February. Otherwise, we’re looking at an empty slate, especially for this week. So, until next week when we can post some nightly previews and have those suffice for the rest of the season, we’re probably going to be posting links and potentially…well, no, probably just links. Frankly, we couldn’t be more excited. Who doesn’t love constant updates on the status of the Arrested Development movie?

So hold onto your hats kids, your first links post from Grid Effect in aught nine is coming later today. A real seminal event.
