This is a bit of a wish list, but also an info alert for any of you who might be looking to buy stuff like this (AKA I don’t want Smallville, but I know a lot of people who like it, so I’m linking to the dvd sets):

The Flash
The Complete Series for $31.99
This show was on CBS for one season. It was my favorite show for YEARS. I loved it. It was dark and way ahead of its time. CBS bounced it around the schedule, so it didn’t get the ratings it deserved. AWESOME! BUY IT!

This set is all three seasons of the Lynda Carter show from the 70s.

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast
Volume One for $8.49, Volume Two for $8.49, Volume Three for $8.49
Trading emails with the creative team for this show is one of my fondest memories of college. (Yes, I am a nerd. What of it?)

Seasons 1 and 2 for $20.49

Metalocalypse

A friend works on the show, so I will personally vouch for the quality of the puppets.

“Charisma and advertisements “

Categories:  tv

Now that I have cable and high speed internet again, I am finally able to enjoy things I’ve been missing out on for the last six or so years. One of those things is the tv show Supernatural.

It is like a group of people sat down at a table and asked, “What would Barb want to watch on tv?”

The result is this tv show. I love every last thing about it, from the eyecandy leads to the violence and horror plots, all of the X-Files alumna who are part of it, and the KICKASS music.

It’s perfect.

I hate being so late to the game watching it, though. I generally frown upon mainlining tv series like I’m doing right now because you don’t get any of the anticipation or suspense that came with viewing it live on television. Heck, I have enough of a problem with there not being any commercials on the dvds. No, I don’t want advertising, but those five minute breaks are part of the storytelling. When you’re sitting there watching it all at once, it loses a little something.

Mind you, that is not going to stop me from watching all of the episodes as quickly as I can because I love the show to pieces.

Double standard, table for one (two?)!

I’ve watched 8 episodes since Saturday night. I could get the first season done by next weekend, but the weather is supposed to be nice, so I am hoping I will have the willpower to enjoy the sunshine and 70s temperatures instead of watching tv shows on my laptop. (doubtful, but I’ll still hope)
