It was just plain awesome. You had interesting stories with cool art. Dragons, demons, monsters of all sorts placed in a fantastic landscape with an over the top imagination.

It was just so much more fun then anything else on TV at the time.

But invariably all I could catch were the same episodes over and over. But now, thanks to a friend at work I have the complete series to watch on DVD.
I can’t wait! Hank the Ranger, Eric the Cavalier, Diana the Acrobat, Presto the Magician, Bobby the Barbarian and of course, my favorite, Sheila the Thief. I just love any cartoon that would put a red-head in a purple mini-skirt and thigh-high leather boots.

Has someone else tested positive for steroid abuse?

Hell no, I wouldn’t even care.

Brian Williams is leaving CBC for CTV!!!

Once again, sports rarely make a blip on my radar but to me Brian Williams is the Olympics to me. Ever since the Atlanta bombings in ’96 when I stayed up with him late into the night trying to get more information about it. It just the way it’s suppose to be, ya know?

Sure, Ron MacLean gets the “glory” of the daytime stuff, but who’s watching that to begin with? Damn it, I got stuff to do during the day, the recap with Brian is where it’s at. What I love about Brian is that he’s not afraid to tell it how it is. Someone get’s caught doing something wrong? He’ll rip into them. I’ve always figured it was the late night time slot he felt he could get away with it, but it kept me coming back for more.

A lot of people complain about the CBC but I’m quite happy with it. For international events like the Olympics it only seems right that the national broadcaster do it. CTV has a lot to prove come 2010.

Is there any chance we can still have Brian for Beijing?

“Unit” is slang for something else.

“The Unit” is a CBS “action/drama” which stars a military team on CBS. And I swear the writers have an American flag up their collective butts. It’s just that bad. It’s almost comical. Watching it is like being warped back to the 80′s with higher production values.

The Unit is The A-Team as invisioned by right-wing neoconservatives. I’m surprised that more stuff doesn’t blow up because it looks purdy.

The nicest thing I can say about it is that they spend a lot of money on it. Otherwise it looks like a Simpson’s nationalism joke come to life. (“USA! USA!“)

It’s no surprise that it comes from CBS, the network which brought us the show I dispise most: Touched by an Angel.

To kick off a television category, I should have started with my feelings on that particular show but what comes out when I try to rant about it is not much more then a guttural scream of fury.

But much like Touched by an Angel, The Unit flat out lies to people.

NO ONE on Touched by an Angel actually accomplished anything, 45 min’s of buildup leads to Deus Ex Machina solving everything without anything actually being done. The Unit makes lies about the totality of American influence and what can only be described as Bush’s New American Century. _{(Ok, so it’s not technically Bush’s, but do you really think that matters?)}

God, I should stop right here before I waste too much of my time…. this show just isn’t worth it, but it’s going to be a hit.
