But you didn't treat them the same. The beginning of the article on comedies actually had some recommendations, some "favorites". But the drama list had no comments at the beginning and from the con's listed by each and every show, the only one that you had no clear cut complaints about was Jericho.
Could Heather not come up with a few recommendations for the dramas as well?
What doesn't bode well is that the sample joke was ripped off from Dave Chapelle. The first episode of his show opened with the disclaimer, "It's not HBO... It's just regular-ass TV!"
Once again, an article who's headline in my RSS feed looks promising turns out to be about TV shows.
What a strange magazine you have, half Democracy Now! half People Magazine.
I hate to tell you this, but TV shows ain't that fuckin' important. I can't believe that people so devoted to TV could actually have time to read.
I would NEVER subscribe to your mag, as much as I love the political commentary, which I always find to be informed, unbiased and compelling. I'll put up with the annoying ads, which I never watch anyway, in order to avoid paying for so much high fructose corn syrup in the form of endless articles on celebrity and TV shows.
Get a life, Cosmic.
TV is part of our culture, and Salon.com is a magazine that covers culture, politics, life, and news. It's not a site that ever intends to be "Democracy Now!" and thank God for it.
Your genius revelation that "TV shows ain't that fuckin' important" is the kind of sophomore-year Philosophy undergrad posturing that drives me up a wall. Smart people watch TV. Furthermore, reading, intellectual thought, and television-watching are not mutually exclusive.
God, you must be a bore to have a drink with.
And believe it or not, some of us can even read and watch T.V. at the same time!!!
Amazing, isn't it? =B=
