Quarterlife is gone almost before it started

I’m a little sad that the first experiment of bringing Internet television to standard television failed so miserably: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/29/arts/television/29arts-NBCPULLSTHEP_BRF.html?ref=television
But, the interesting thing to note is that the ratings of 3.1 million are similar to that of one of my favorite shows, Supernatural, which is considered a solid hit on its network. It just goes to [...]

More support for How I Met Your Mother

More and more of us are talking about the goodness and joy that is our weekly half-hour visit with Ted, Barney, Robin, Lilly and Marshall (a really long way of saying How I Met Your Mother). Here are a couple recent pieces arguing for keeping this great show on the air:

A Really Interesting Look at Supernatural Fans

Someone posted a link to this story on the Television Without Pity forums, and I just had to share: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/features/article/53031/move-over-alpha-geeks-here-come-the-fangrrls/
I’m always interested in gender studies and criticism, and I am happy to see that someone is commenting on women in sci fi.

Here’s a good story on the topic: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/business/media/20adco.html?ref=television
I will say that I don’t hate the occasional rerun–in [...]
