'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Season 4 after "Orpheus" I watched from the hall. Except "Home."
The "Whatever you do, DON'T push this button to play the video" text reminds me of Victorian Latin texts. They didn't want the naughty bits of Catullus to offend schoolboys...
so they put them all in the back of the book in one section.
That's my favorite part. "Whatever you do, DONT LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"
Poor dear empty heads. Send your kid to bed at 8 with a glass of warm milk and a bible.
Oh, you know, it reminds of Time Bandits at the end when the little boy screams, "MOM! DAD! Don't touch it! It's EVIL!"
And of course they immediately reach out and poke the smoldering chunk of evil and explode.
I love Gilliam.

One of my Latin profs told us a story about how when she was in college, her professor had said, "Now, tomorrow we will be reading Catullus, so all of the ladies should stay home." The next day, all the women in the class were seated in the front row. The prof looked out, saw them, and said, "As I see we have no ladies in the class today, we can begin."
I think that's funny.
Also, the Parents' TV Council thing made my boyfriend like The Inside even more. If that's possible.
Bizarre.
Were I a parent I think would be more concerned that a parental watchdog site seemed to think that kids might be up watching such adult shows, than any specific content of the shows themselves.

Yes. This. Many (not all) of those watchdog sites seem to take a prurient delight in how eeeevil secular culture is. The fact that they highlight a "Worst of the Week" does nothing to allay those suspicions.
I'd be more inclined to take a site like that seriously if it simply had a list of shows with "graphic violent content", etc. along with networks and times.
I've just read the worst review of The Inside. And by worst, I mean the review itself is pathetic. It left me thinking, "please stop watching, I feel dirty knowing that you are watching this show, and I am watching the show, and therefore, we have something in common."
I won't link, he doesn't deserve referrals. I'll excerpt.
The Inside’s only redeeming value that has me turning in each week is the star, bodacious babe Rachel Nichols. She doesn’t wear revealing clothing often, opting instead for a very professional black pants suit that still manages to show off her voluptuous curvature. And occasionally, the clothes do come off. Like always, Fox knows what the men in the audience want to see (Jonny, could you insert gorilla noises here?).
Given that the reviewer describes Rachel Nichols as "voluptuous," we can immediately ignore everything else in the review, correct?
I would like to start a site where I review reviewers. That would be voluptuous.
