Television musings


Just a few passing observations
I don't watch that much regular television.

The news is useless. Even a few years ago, you could count on the major stories hitting the New York Times first, then the local dailies, and then the network news. If you aren't into pro sports or celebrity fluff, there are better places to get the news.

I can't stand commercials, and I really despise this bit of covering more and more of a currently running program to advertise another program.

Most of the current series just don't look that interesting. Dollhouse looks intriguing, but I will probably wait until it's available on DVD. That's how I prefer things these days, without those thrice blasted commercials.

I do follow Mythbusters. And for fiction, I'm really partial to Bones. For someone who has a thing for strong, intelligent women who can hold their own, any series with three who just also happen to be drop dead sexy is going to get my attention.

But one of my guilty pleasures lately has been NCIS. I had never watched it before I got arrested, now I've seen quite a few episodes. I'm rather partial to goth gals, and as I said I really like strong intelligent women, so that is part of the attraction.

One thing I have noticed though is that the NCIS team regularly breaks the rules and usually the law in every single episode. I don't know if it's intentional or not. But it does raise an interesting question.

If the only way for the "good guys" to win is to cheat, why are they the good guys?
