I wonder this to myself all the time. I’m so curious to see how the TV landscape will change over the next few years.
Nobody’s knocking procedurals, or dramas in which one story is told over the course of one hour. Episodes of television that don’t don’t require a degree in physics or an encyclopedic memory can be a beautiful thing. You’ll find no bashing of “Law & Order” or...

Don’t you love that post-unemployment moment when you get your first paycheck and then mulitiply that number by four and freak out because you’ll make so much money in a single month?
The best part is that the montly sum is hardly making you Mr. Moneybags, but after several months of “borrowing” money from your mother, it’s nice to finally feel like you can do it on your own...

Helen: “If someone is following behind you, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it? You’ve seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.” Jessica: What would likely happen: “What time is it?” “IT’S TIME TO GET RAPED.” hahahaha that’s terrible, but oh so funny!!!
