[hsapiens]

Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled: Firefly
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching: In Plain Sight
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season): {White Collar & The Vampire Diaries are pretty but shallow; Royal Pains is shallow but pretty}
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever: Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Queer as Folk, and Farscape. Supernatural makes the cut on a technicality (ignoring serious gender issues) for its prescience in employing Misha Collins.
Day 05 - A show you hate:

I was stumped on this because I reserve hate for sins like hypocrisy and intolerance; television doesn't inspire emotion of that sort in me. Can I choose any FOX "news" program? Yes, I think I can and I shall. They embody the hypocrisy and intolerance that DOES inspire my rage.

I need a Jon Stewart icon. How can I not have one? I saw the segment that Jon did on Rachel and I thought he had the right of it. I don't notice when Rachel goes wrong because I'm the choir so I want Jon there to point out the car wheels are off the road. And I like that they can agree to disagree or discuss points without it becoming a damned Olbermann/Limbaugh grudge match.

All that I can think of to say about Glenn Beck is that he is intellectually bankrupt. That's damning in my book, a literal kiss of death. It's the worst thing I can say about someone who isn't literally evil. I wouldn't listen to him if he stood up and shouted, "Fire!"

I concur exactly. I watch Rachel with a bit of blinders on, so it's nice to have someone fact-checking and making sure she stays honest. :)

I completely agree about Glenn Beck. To the point where, when I saw he'd written a book called COMMON SENSE, I laughed out loud in the store. I didn't even care if people heard me. Of course, this is Oklahoma, so it's probably selling like mad.

It is a favored tactic of Republicans** to project their own sins onto opponents: fiscal irresponsibility, trampling individual freedom, racism. It makes sense that if they're busy deflecting their sins on others that they'd wrap themselves in the virutes of the same opposition. ;-)

**Perhaps the Democrats engage in similar behavior but I don't see it.
