I just want to welcome television back. More specifically the quality of shows on television once again. (The popularity of television itself continues to decline but that has nothing to do with what is actually on television. With outlets like hulu.com and iTunes people can watch shows when and where they want, without ever turning a television on). For a while it seemed as though the only things on T.V. were reality based or Law & Order. The tide seemed to turn, for me at least, with Battlestar Gallactica. Finally, I thought, a smart science fiction show after Firefly was lost. But that was cable. Network was still in the toilet sans LOST. But that’s just the point. Once show wasn’t enough for network to succeed. Well we can now fast forward to today and the week of television I just finished yesterday (got to love DVR!) There is still LOST and Battlestar, plus Fringe, Lie to Me (surprisingly good), The Office, 30 Rock. Plus there are shows that seem good that I don’t watch; House, Psych, Burn Notice, Damages, 24, etc. So welcome back television, I have missed you. There is so much potential for television to be better than movies and it’s nice to see it tapping into it. Now we just have to get CBS to start airing original good programming. The Mentalist, really? A guy who just notices things? One step at a time I suppose.
