The only way to watch TV

Posted by  on 10 March 2005, 4:22 pm

USA Today had an article titled Kill your TV — but keep your DVD player which talked about using Netflix to rent TV show seasons on DVD.

This isn’t news to me, as Sarah and I use our Netflix subscription for this all the time. There was one scary quote in there…

After Angel, I’ll dig in to cult ’60s show The Prisoner, the first two seasons of Alias…

After we finish the 3rd season of Smallville we’re moving onto the last season of Angel and next in the queue after that is The Prisoner. Although, we’re all up to date on Alias. With Netflix we finished up the last season of Buffy… and watched the first two seasons of Smallville.

Actually, it is a bit of a quandry, we haven’t figured out what show to dive into next. We’ve been kicking around ST:DS9 as we both stopped watching it before “it got good.” I’ve been also thinking about Stargate.

Any suggestions? Okay, smartasses. Any suggestions besides “stop watching tv?”

I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit.

I’ve gotten a new LCD monitor at work today. (The small one on the right.) For some reason this inspired me to take a quick picture of my main work area with my phone.

As Wil Wheaton reminded us yesterday via his blog, tonight is the airing of the Wil Wheaton enhanced episode of CSI. I find I’m having a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup moment where someone’s put one of my favorite blogs into one of my favorite tv shows, or one of my favorite tv shows into one of my favorite blogs.

I’ve been following Wil’s blog for quite awhile now and as cliche as this sounds, he comes across as a truly nice guy and a fellow geek that I could have some really good conversations with over Guinness with. While I’d be watching CSI anyway, I feel like a lame teenage girl due to my excitement that Wil will be on. Of course, this is all due to getting to know him via his internet ramblings. Without him sharing himself on the net, he’d be just another actor that I think I recognize as a guest on the show.

If nothing else, I hope this helps relauch Wil into a regular series of some sort. If only so he can be reinvited to either World Poker Tour’s Hollywood Home Game or Celebrity Poker Showdown to redeem himself after his recent WTPHHG appearence. Just kidding, mostly. Really, it’d just be great for a nice guy, who’s great with his family, to get something good now that he’s figured out who he is and what’s important to him.
