It's been forever since we talked about Battlestar Galactica

Since TVTattle made it sound like everybody knew, I followed the link and kept reading past the spoiler alert. I now regret this and strongly recommend you avoid doing the same. Try to find something else to occupy your mind. Here: Six is going to be in Playboy!

Also, have we ever discussed Firefly? Or my theory that NYPDBlue went downhill after Abandando broke it off with Medavoy?

I was quite a fan of Hill Street Blues but somehow missed BHB. Dang it!

Let's add to this list of great shows axed by networks: Wonderfalls. Loved that.

You know what I always found funny about NYPDBlue? The cussing. Because characters (especially Sipowicz) couldn't just out and out say certain words, their language was more creative and therefore more descriptive and almost more offensive. Almost.

I can't pinpoint when, exactly, Denis Leary became tiresome to me. Probably sometime after he was accused of stealing from other comics.

Wonderfalls was funny -- only a few shows aired but one whole season was filmed (now on DVD). Fake animals (lawn flamingoes, mounted fish) spoke to the main character (a smart but underachieving girl). If that isn't a recipe for comedy, I don't know what is!
