'Serenity'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I'll probably stick with it unless (until?) they pull a genie out of their butt or something like that.
I've never given up on a show before 5 seasons, so I'll probably stick with it, too. But I'm at the point where I'm watching it to mock, not to flail.

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU INVOKED THE BUTT GENIE. Take it back! Take it back!

I love the butt genie! It's just such a pure example of WTF?!?!? that I can't help loving it.
It almost makes Superboy-Prime PUNCHING A HOLE IN REALITY AND RAISING JASON TODD FROM THE DEAD look reasonable.

As far as I'm concerned, "Jumping the Shark" has been replaced by "Pulling a genie out of their butt" as a term for a show going off the rails. Anything that makes a Jesus banana slug look benign by comparison has some primo WTF?!?!??! going for it.
....um, what show featured someone pulling a genie out of their butt? Because...because you sound like you're talking about an actual occurance, rather than a metaphor.

Be ascared. Be very ascared.
Technically the genie was crawling in and out, rather than being pulled, but since it was THE signature example of X-Files writers getting into the Monkey Crack, the phrase stands.
He ate his victims. Starting from the bottom. Literally.
I just watched the Butt Genie ep last night. For those who haven't seen it... Frank's description is apt, Vonnie's is funny but incorrect.
For JoA fans, the Butt Genie ep includes a young Luke Girardi as the boy Scully thought she was shooting.
Oh, Joan! Dh and I started re-watching season 1, Sunday night, when we realized BSG wasn't on. So so good. Barbara Hall has a new pilot that's been greenlit (I think) -- Demons. I believe it's about an exorcist.
Like Jess, I'm inclined to think that if Lost had stayed on indefinite hiatus, it would have taken me a long time to notice. That said, I seem to be a little excited it's coming back, and I can't imagine why. I'm not particularly married to the show, but I got a little thrill when I realized it started back up this week. Of course, I have been home with sick kids for a couple of weeks, so it's not taking much to thrill me.
I think I'm starting to appreciate Lost's sadist bent.
