Weekend TV

Nothing particularly exciting about this weekend but somehow TV shows found their way into a lot of things.

Saturday I watched my first blu ray movie at Aisha's:
It was kinda like watching a movie in IMAX, after a while you just watch the movie and forget how freakin clear everything is. Unless I'm watching something like an anime movie or CSI: Miami where the colors are crazy vivid the luster of the experience takes a backseat to the story.

Sunday brought the season finale of Entourage:
This is probably one of my favorite shows to watch but I don't like admitting it since most guys who rave about this show are douches. To me, that particular public fanbase has created some perception that you have to be a shallow alcoholic fratperv to appreciate it...and that's just not true. Any kind of perv can relate to this show. And in all seriousness this has been the best season of the show since season 2. It'll be worth owning on DVD, assuming I have a job by then.

Just to let you know, I don't have HBO or even a TV of my own for that matter. Everything I watch is either on Hulu or through Sidereel because my little powerbook can't even handle the HD quality of many a network's flashsites.

Anyway, after Entourage somehow I came across the newest Futurama movie. I wasted money on buying the last 2 straight to DVD movies when I was in Hawaii. They were both pretty far cries from the awesomeness of the series but I heard the latest one was supposed to be a lot better. Of course, I heard the same thing about the last one so I opted to just watch it online instead of wasting another $20. Turns out this WAS the best of the the 3 so far and the only one really worth owning.

Bender's Game:
Not funny like a movie but funny like the show. I just wish the show was still on the air.

As a matter of fact, every show I've gotten into so far has resulted in more of a posthumous appreciation than an ongoing relationship.

Firefly


Futurama


Cowboy Bebop


And most recently,

Las Vegas (via TNT)


Cancelled. Cancelled. Cancelled. Cancelled.

My friends know this and they've told me to stop watching their shows for fear that they might be cancelled due to my attentions. But being jobless affords you all kinds of time so I dunno.
Yeah that's right. Just watch your back Fey.
