misc thoughts about the things on tv

i finally broke down and put the show wonderfalls in my netflix queue after seeing it as a recommendation for months and months. it is absolutely hilarious. i'm not surprised that it didn't make it. i'm a little disappointed that fox only ever aired the first 4 episodes (i think there were 12 made), but at least they figured it out and released all of the episodes on DVD.

i'm not a big winter olympics fan, but i watched it for a little bit earlier. some of the athletes are totally amazing. i can live without every sport at the winter games. i'm more of a gymnastics and equestrian summer olympics fan. it will be cool to see how the games look when the new tv arrives in the next few days. it turns out we were wrong as to when we bought the big wega we have. it was produced in nov 1999, so we probably bought it in dec 1999 or jan 2000. regardless, it has been a long time since we got a new tv.

after the olympics are over, it will be nice to have tv return to normal. it's annoying that nbc is totally rearranging its schedule, but at least the shows i like will be coming back after the break. it's nice that abc is cranking out new shows during the olympics too. it would be very boring if it was re-runs for the duration of the olympics.
