downfall of civilization

Bill Maher said: “If people tomorrow were told, Americans were told, that you can solve global warming if you just don’t use the remote to your television, what do you think they would say if they had to go back to getting their ass off the couch?”

How true is that?

I think that this week’s Grey’s Anatomy was probably one of the best hours of television I’ve ever seen, on par with “The Body” from Season Five of Buffy and the finales of Seasons One and Two of The West Wing.

I’m so watching this year’s Oscars.
My favorite part of the whole article is the comments at the bottom. It’s amazing how ridiculous people can get over this stuff.

I would normally be in bed right now, but I happened upon the West Wing episode “Noel” on Bravo. I can’t even use words to describe how much I love this episode.
That’s all; on your way. Nothing to see here.

I mean, yes, you have your West Wings and your 24s (interestingly enough, neither of which have I ever seen, which makes me feel a little sheepish), and your E.R.s and the like, but other than those powerhouse dramas, what’s really out there?
