Well I guess I really have been afar and away. No more 24? Such mixed feelings from me. It’s addictive and can be great, but it is also full of neo-con stupid ideas like constant use of torture.
@ Natalie – 24 is back in Jan/Feb. They pushed this years show to next due to the writers strike.

I’m pretty jazzed about Fringe – that looks to be like a fantastic show and a good stop-gap until LOST begins again.
Also – I might have to check out Terminator now because Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage) just signed on to the show.

Yeah, 24 and Dollhouse aren’t until Jan/Feb 2009.
Fringe has gotten good reviews so far, so I’m pretty stoked.
I’m so excited for the 2 hour premiere of The Moment of Truth!
Not. How many Jerry Springer questions can they really ask? Does anyone actually watch that show?
Nickys last blog post..Update from my bed.
I honestly think that as much as the Jericho fans are out there trying to save their show, there should be an opposite movement trying to END Moment of Truth. It’s a disgusting piece of television.
@ Nicky – What show…? Uh, no – that show looks like a total travisty to me.
@ Mike – AMEN!

Yes! Sarah Connor Chronicles. I thought they cancled that and I was upset cuz I didn’t get a chance to watch it. I think they cancled bionic woman then or something… Apparently it wasn’t that great =/
watch friends onlines last blog post..10.01 The One After Joey and Rachel Kiss
Wow, no way was it canceled
They did cancel Bionic Woman, with is already out on DVD
