This is Sexy Saturday but with a Tuesday twist. Before I go and tell you about what you should and should not be watching, I have sad news. My fish Charleston died today and I thought I should give him a moment of ellipsis...
Anyway before this gets too depressing let me tell you today's categories. Two shows you probably missed, 8 canceled shows you absolutely must get into, and what you should and should not be watching on TV at the moment.
Before I begin let me tell you this: I really, REALLY hate Fox. While this is for a variety of reasons, I will probably use that as my blog tomorrow, So I will focus on the fact that they kill their best shows! You might say, oh the shows just don't get viewers. No. Fox Murders them. You will see what I mean. Basically they take shows that they personally don't like for whatever reason, and place them in the worst possible time slots and then they often randomly change the time slot with no advertising. With a couple of the shows they killed, they aired the episodes out of order.
I have a theory that Fox absolutely hates lesbians. You will see why in a minute.
Shows you probably missed.
1. Wonderfalls. This show was only on air for four episodes. Because, yes it was on Fox. The basic premise of the show is that this underachieving girl who works in a gift shop is suddenly given orders by random toy animals, ping flamingos, and the like. Their little orders, while seemingly random, eventually lead to the main girl helping other character's lives get better. It sounds stupid, but it's not. The writing is incredibly good and funny, the charachters are lovable... but alas the main character's sister is a lesbian. So Fox canceled the show. You can get it on DVD.
2. Firefly. This show has an enormous cult fanbase so I barely need to advertise it here. It's a sci-fi western by the wonderful Joss Whedon, (who, it should be noted, scripted the first lesbian sex scene). Fox also murdered this show. The box set is very popular, so you can probably find it at a Blockbuster, if you don't like to buy things.
The Great Six. My favorite six canceled shows. In order
6. Arrested Development.
This show has a very specific audience, but it is one of my favorite straight comedies ever. I laugh more at this than Seinfeld. It is the story of the Bluth Family, a dysfunctional rich family that lost everything. The show has very quirky characters, like Gob the magician, and Tobias the never- nude former analrapist (both an analyst and a therapist) turned actor. The show eventually begins to use more inside jokes than anything so it's best if you start from the beginning.
5. Veronica Mars
This is a show that you really have to watch from the begining to get into. But once you get into it will hold you until the writing gets lazy in the third season and you are telling yourself "I love the characters, I love the charachters" so you can survive it. Seriously though the first two seasons are so wonderfully crafted, you find yourself stunned and often in tears.
4. Pushing Daisies
A cute quirky comedy about a piemaker who can raise the dead. This show is ingenious, the characters are so unique and I found myself loving all of them from the knitting detective to the the waitress (played by Kristen Chenowith, nuff said). The show makes me laugh every time I see it.
3. Dead Like Me
About George Lass, who becomes a grim reaper after she is hit by a toilet seat that fell from space. The deaths in this show are insanely creative and the dialogue is extremely witty and well written. "It's not about homeland security you stupid motherfucker I'm gunna get a friend!"
2.Angel
Basically this is a Buffy spinoff that took on a bit of a darker tone and ended up turning out to be almost as good as it's parent show which I will now fangasm about.
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The. Best. Show. Ever. Honestly it has love, it's hilarious, it has action, drama, song singing, lesbians... Everything about this show is incredible. The title basically explains the premise. It's about a girl named Buffy who is, in fact, a vampire slayer. But it is about so much more than that. Every episode had me loving the characters more and more until I was riding on the emotional rollercoaster along with them. Favorites include Willow and Anya. If you like dialog, you will love this show. If you like action, you will love this show. If you have the smallest amount of good taste in your body, you will love this show. Go watch it, go buy seasons 1-7 and watch every last one of them. I order you to do so.
Okay I need to wrap this up so these will be shorter.
