Squidbilies

I love my DVR. Seriously. How else would I have known that Squidbilies was coming back on? I love me some squidbilies. It's so random. Granny? Ridiculous. If you met me I'm not sure that you would peg me for a fan of it but I am. I even have a tape of Squidbilies episodes. I'm waaaaay too cheap to buy DVDs of most shows and I only own sets of Arrested Development and the O.C. I just tape things. I'm not going to turn this into a love rhapsody about my VCR although I think everyone should have one. I don't know about DVD recorders but I think my VHS machine is tops. Back to the s-bilies. I made my dad watch it a long time ago and he thought I was nuts. Kind of like he thought I was nuts when I came home from college and made him watch Sifl and Olly. I think he just says yes so we can bond together but maybe also because deep down he knows I watch the coolest shit. C'mon I bet if you've watched either one of these you'll probably dig the other. I haven't even watched the new episode of Squidbilies yet. I came home tonight and saw that my DVR loved me and was too excited to not share the news with you. It says it came on at 1:15am this morning/last night so please look out for it on the Cartoon Network. I have to go run now and catch 10 minutes of genius. See ya later.

Cancellations

A bunch of shows I've loved are being axed now. Medium, Samantha Who?, Life, My Name is Earl and I'm sure they're going to try and get rid of Ugly Betty too because they moved it to Friday at 9pm. Luckily though, two shows did manage to get picked back up and they are Southland and Chuck. I'm truly happy about Chuck because I do completely love that show. Matty came over on Monday all year and we watched Gossip Girl and Chuck back to back. We had a lovely year doing that and even though Chuck won't be on Monday nights anymore I'm still so happy it wasn't cut.

I am extremely unhappy about Samantha Who?. It was doing so well on Monday nights after Dancing with the Stars and then they shuffled it around the schedule and people stopped watching. I always read about people who think they could do a better job with the primetime schedule and believe me I think I could too. First, I would axe JAY LENO from the network. They got it right when they gave Conan a starting date which meant Leno had an end date. It was so easy to get rid of him! I've run this thought into the ground in a couple of other posts so I'll leave it at that. They would have had an extra 5 hours of content to fill and they could have saved Medium. They have treated Medium so poorly over the past couple of years. Bringing it back midseason, barely promoting it. When it first started it got great ratings but then they started shuffling it around and we all know what that does. I have heard though that CBS might pick it up and put it on Fridays after Ghost Whisperer. I'll watch CBS, they have Simon Baker, I'll do anything they ask.

Now about Life. WTF. It was a great show. Not your average cop drama, it had a great cast and it was funny. Tell me the last time a cop show was funny...intentionally. I'm too upset to write anymore and will just say that My Name is Earl was working for me. I still watched it every week and it was still loved over here at my house, Unfortunately this has all been decided and there's nothing left to do. Although there's a very small chance that another network will pick up Earl, I'm not counting on it. It's not Scrubs. Which I am very happy that ABC picked up last year and even happier that they are bringing it back midseason with Better Off Ted. I love that show. It's weird and funny and I am so into weird. Hello...Life. I'm not going to cry. I'm not.
