TV: Veronica Mars, Wonderfalls, Firefly, Pushing Daisies, and …
Comment posted Book Recommendation: One Silent Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon by katie71483.
TV: Veronica Mars, Wonderfalls, Firefly, Pushing Daisies, and Eli Stone all ended way too soon. The third season of VM doesn’t even feel complete. Friends and Smallville both went waayyy too long. I think Supernatural is doing the right thing by the Winchesters by ending after their fifth season.
In terms of books, I completely agree that Sherilyn Kenyon’s series has gone on way too long. I also feel that way about Christine Feehan’s Carpathian series. Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series both need closure. JD Robb’s In Death series is repeating itself. Of course, I keep buying and reading them, so maybe I’m perpetuating the problem 
It’s not that I dislike these authors or their books, more that I loved their earlier works and now feel like the spark that I so appreciated is gone. Or at least, a lot dimmer.

Oh, and how could I forget Chuck and Supernatural??? - The Summer Is Over
Jen! I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to post again. Glad to hear that all of y’all are doing well.
I’ll be watching a lot of the same way – big surprise, I know – but there are some I’m going to be giving a skip, most notably Shat My Dad Says and Outsourced. I find the twitter feed amusing but don’t see how they could possibly make a decent show out of it. I’ve actually lost work to India so I don’t really find that premise amusing – it hits just a little to close to home, you know?
About the new shows, I’m most excited about Terriers, Nikita, and Lone Star. For the returning shows, I’m most excited about Sons of Anarchy and The Vampire Diaries. I’ve kind of given up on Gossip Girl.

Jen, he’s so tiny! I bet Moses’ head weighs more than Jasper does. Congratulations! And, I look forward to hearing more about PCC Jr. in the future.

I’m often amazed that Smallville is still going on.
One of my favorite book series when I was younger was the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Those were the best books, full of verve and imagination. The first, A Spell for Chameleon, won the August Derleth Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1977 and was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1978. The next 5 or so books were of the same quality, and the next 10 were still readable. After that, though, they lost all semblance of being good. They were reader-submitted puns strung together with nonsense storylines. And it killed me to admit that and stop reading them. I’m so removed from that series that I have no idea if Anthony is still writing them.
