So I am sure everyone has been waiting for the day that TiaC would start her own blog to catalog her thoughts on her favorite television shows, past and present. I felt that it was time to step up and live up to your expectations.
Welcome to The Wrath of the Whatever from High Atop the Thing! If you aren't sure of the reference, go look it up on Youtube. Right now! Then go scold yourself in the mirror for not having understood the reference immediately. And make yourself cry if you've never seen that show before. Once your your self-esteem has been restored, time to sit down and marathon all seven seasons for the next few days. Then you'll find out how CJ wound up with two turkeys in her office (their names are Eric and Troy, by the way, and Troy doesn't like to be touched).
But really, I chose that title not just because of my love for Aaron Sorkin, but because I take television SERIOUSLY. When a show is well-written, carefully directed, artfully shot, and acted with conviction, I am its bitch forever. I will follow a show through thick and thin as long as the individuals involved are committed to producing quality entertainment. But the moment that a show loses its drive, its direction, or becomes self-indulgent, I have no problem calling bulls*** and ripping it apart from the safety of my armchair (I'm looking at you, Glee!).
What I hope to do with this blog is recap, analyze, criticize, and compare episodes from my favorite shows, foreign and domestic, as they strike my fancy. I may jump from a comparison of the whimsy of 30 Rock, Pushing Daisies, and Greatest Love to a more studied dissection of how religion is treated on television (but that would probably be a series of posts, as each show in and of itself could take up a few).
Time to get started up in here! So say we all! Hwaiting!
Yeah, I'm kind of a dork.
