Ah... yes, now I remember. You didn't have cable for Season 3, so you had Rowe tape it for you.



JD, normally I would concede the humor. However, you're simply wrong at this point. Rowe never taped Smallville for me. Arrested Devlopment, Frasier, even Friends? Yep. Not Smallville. That's a fact, man.

You were watching it. You were liking it (minus the Lana bits). And you were gay for Michael Rosenbaun. Admit it.



Ah, so, when you're wrong, you resort to taking shots? Rosenbaum was, and probably still is, the only good actor on that show. You disagree, fine. Doesn't change anything.

While you're at it, feed me that line again about how The Gilmore Girls had great dialogue.



Oh dear. Just because something doesn't have cult-fave jokes with Bruce Campbell, or relate on the dick-and-fart level, it's automatically beneath your notice? Sorry the wit and dialogue is too high-brow for you. And, meanwhile, I'll go on lusting after Lauren Graham...

If Lost had the plan and drive to continue on for a second season, Loeb would never have been hired. His being hired is proof that that show shot its load in the first season and that the writers/creators didn't know where else to take it.



Well, man, that's just incredibly sheer speculation on your part, my man. The fact that Paul Dini left meant they had to fill the slot. The fact that they hired Jeph Loeb just means that he continues his original contract with Satan. Because Loeb writes for Marvel and DC, does that make the entire company bad?

BTW, just how much of LOST have you actually even watched? Just curious.

NBC showed the Battlestar mini right before the first season started to try and push viewers over to Sci-Fi to watch it.



Okay. I never saw it on NBC...or even heard that it aired on that channel. Sci-Fi was my introduction to it.

The fact is that even if you don't like Heroes it's already been a success for NBC. The word of mouth alone from critics and viewers who saw it before the premiere via the web or ComicCon generated enough interest to sell ad time for it at a nice rate as well as draw in curious viewers. I see this more as NBC taking chances again with genre material like they did with V in the 80's.



I hope you're right. I hope they actually take more chances, and sink some depth and substance into their programming line. Heroes may be a first step, no doubt. However, I'll wait until the third or fourth step to see if NBC can get there.

Ahhhh, because you don't seem to be able to explain it, is this where you steal bsams schtick and say "I win again!" ?
