The Unit: Mamet needs to scrape his name off that offal as quickly as possible.
He seems to be actively involved with the show. He wrote the episode I found particularly horrifying. His sister writes for the show, too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Movies, too. The last movie I saw in the theaters was ...
I'm embarrassed to say: The Butterfly Effect
It cured me of theaters.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'll have to partially agree with Gus. I've been basically disappointed with the stuff I watched on TV this past year, and that =includes= Veronica Mars. The only show I've been watching that hasn't disappointed me is Doctor Who.
(waiting to see if Gus, or anyone for that matter replies)

Ok, I have the lurve for the New Season 1 Doctor.
Veronica had some slow arcs, I'll grant you. Compare it, though, to the who-gives-a-honk-who-dies of Lost.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I have missed the beginning of most eps, but I still like Bones. House can be repetitive and predictable, but it's nice if you only see it every few eps or so. And, Grey's Anatomy is a guilty pleasure. If I weren't so cheap, and had big basic cable, I would also enjoy SG-1, SG-A and Dr. Who, and might even give BSG a try, even though I didn't much like the miniseries.
On the positive side, not having lots of must-see tv, I've really gotten my money's worth out of Netflix.

I was into Lost last season, but when they broke their promise at the end, it became dead to me. If I hear it has a good ending, I may watch s2 on DVD.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am fond of Medium. Jake Weber is adorable and they seem like actual married people, with talking things over in bed (to which he wears boxers, like most guys I've known who wear something to bed) and juggling errands in a morning rush and clearly loving and enjoying each other but not flirting 24/7.
And of course House.

What was the promise? I can't even remember.

Seriously, what was the Lost promise?
Gus, I'm loving Veronica Mars. I've just started rewatching S1, straight through. When I'm done, I'm going to watch s2 straight through, and see how much of the pacing problem feels internal to the story, and how much was due to the wacky scheduling.
