Remote Destination
As part of my New Year’s Resolution to be more “active” I’ve decided to use my soapbox to champion The Wire. Unfortunately The Wire isn’t a “lock” for next season. So please visit Save The Wire and help keep the best show on television, on television.
I’m pretty excited about what TV has in store for 2005. There are a few programs that are premiering soon that I’m intrigued about.
I’m very curious about how 24 is going to look, especially since Jack Bauer is the only returning character. Sure Jack is a compelling character, but can he fill up 24 hours of television?
Carnivale looks interesting. I watched most of the first season (sure, I missed a couple episodes and fell asleep on an equal number, but I said most.) Could I name a character on the show? Nope. Do I remember any of the dangling plot threads? No. Could I even tell you which character is “good” and which is “evil?” Nah, but what else am I going to watch on Sunday nights?
How about Numb3rs. Despite the absurd title/logo the show looks promising. Who doesn’t love serial killers and the folks who track them down? And doesn’t everyone enjoy an eccentric genius who can’t deal with personal interaction? My only qualm about the show is the network that it’s on. CBS doesn’t instill me with faith.
The Weekly Pulse: Mr. Coogan’s Groove Tube Update
Mr. Coogan returns to IP TV after a holiday hiatus and talks about MTV, HBO, NBC, FOX and even the WB!
LOOK AT THIS”¦”¦
** In case you missed it, Britney Spears’ little sister is starting to make her mark on the entertainment industry. God help us all”¦
** Just what we needed!! A made-for-TV movie based on Amber Frey’s new book! YES!!!
** Did you know Desperate Housewives‘s Nicolette Sheridan is 41? That struck me as more surprising and disappointing than the announcement of her engagement.
