Christ were SGU and Sanctuary's numbers bad though. I can't say I'm surprised about SGU, that shit feels like such a downer, but damn, nobody is watching Sanctuary, how can Siffy afford to keep it on the air?

Believe me, NBC did not keep Leno for the old people, because even with them it's still getting shit. Plain and simple, they didn't want him jumping ship. And they're keeping him on now to save face. He's a disaster ratings-wise whether it's 18-49 or 50+.

To me, it doesn't matter which party is in power, it's clear neither understand how the average american lives and that they don't give a shit how they piss away our money. At what point do they stop themselves and say, "Maybe we should spend the taxes we collect more effectively and see where the waste is, rather than continually adding programs and government jobs and increasing taxes." Is that too much to ask?

Dollhouse's contantly changing scenarios are tough for new viewers (I'm NOT calling anyone dumb, just saying the show's not a 1 sentence desciption.) At the same time, "Echo mothers a rich guy's baby" is NOT the kind of premise that'll make people put the down the remote. The show fails because unlike the other Whedon shows, you can't just turn it on one week and get into it.

(Bailout has been ineffectual and more expensive than the Iraq war, which was already thoroughly won when Obama took office.)

Just ask Jimmy Carter.

So, by trying to blame it on Bush you are either intellectually dishonest or stupid.

Of course, I must support this, because criticism of Obaba is an act of "straight up" racism. Or so Chris Matthews and Maureen Dowd tell me.

I'm not trying to start any kind of flame war, I've asked this before and nobody really seems to have an answer. This country seriously cannot keep spending like this... I think that we are headed for the end of the dollar or the United States or even worse, both. I just don't see how that outcome is not inevitable within about a decade or so. I actually believe that China wants us to keep spending like this, knowing that it is continually weakening our position while simultaneously we send real manufacturing jobs and plants overseas and all of the real wealth in this country is divided up between people who do nothing more than move money around. But maybe I'm completely wrong and this can go on forever... I hope that's true.

On an unrelated note, I wish the chick who played Vazquez in "Aliens" would sue Dusku and Michelle Rodriguez for biting off of her acting style.

Cable channels pull shit worse than regular nets. Like Kyle XY, I never thought to even look at ABC Family until that show appeared.

And I was only planning on watching one episode and goof on it for its stupidity. But I was surprised that it was well written and acted. Then I get invested in the characters and story and they drop it for Greek, and life of a teenage slut or some such shit. It has Molly Ringwald but in it but who cares.

So I stopped watching that channel. Now USA has barely kept my attention, after canceling the 4400 and The Dead Zone. They were on Sundays and doing well, I don't even know what they have on at that time anymore. Thanks to broadening Burn Notice from Summers to Spring, and adding more Psych, I haven't completely shunned the net. But they screwed themselves out of viewers with those cancellations. Characters welcome my ass. And I fucking hate Monk.

You in the very vocal but vast minority (somewhere around about 20% last I checked) can hold your little teabagging parties and bitch, even though the Dems should just ignore you as you'd never support them even if they gave you money (oops, they actually have), the rest of us have REAL problems with Obama and the Dems, again, mostly because they aren't doing ENOUGH.

Also, I think people do watch Dollhouse, on Hulu anyway. Speaking of which, that's where I'm headed.

Why are you hating on a show that you don't watch. I've read your posts before and you don't watch the show. So as they said way back in a movie about a stupid deer. If you don't have anything nice to say. Don't say anything at all.

The hate on this site is just god awful. Now I hate some shows sure. But I don't despise everything or person in or dealing with a show. But you made a name specifically out of spite. You'd think he robbed you or slept with your wife/girlfriend, mom or sister or all three at the same time. Why not comment on something that you like. You'll be surprised how much happier you are. Oh and go outside you basement dweller.

I am a closet geek, so no one knows till I mention Star Trek that I'm a true dweeb. Basement dweller is what we used to be identified with. You know that creepy Dungeons and Dragon kid who LARP'ed at home before anyone knew what he was doing.

I'll take Family Guy over the Simpsons any day. It's just stupid funny.

As for DC characters on Smallville. Batman Could have been put in Smallville, but as we all know DC/Paramount execs are dumb as a box of rocks. They own the rights to all DC characters. Literally. You money grubbing ass munches. They can do what they want, with whom ever they want.

If it's that old well people won't be able to differentiate the TV Batman, Lantern, Flash. From the movie version they need to get their heads out of the asses and give us some credit. We like what we like.

And if you fuck us over with your logic than your franchise dies. Because no matter what Execs think they are usually wrong. Wolverine/Transformers 2/ GI Joe don't count. Those are aberrations. Because people expected something and got something else.

Of course, they'll have forgotten about it three weeks from now, or whenever the next episode airs.

It makes me feel like most of my time watching this show is being wasted, with little payoff for the investment of such time, either in terms of plot progression or just plain entertainment, and that's a terrible feeling to have as a watcher of any show. I mean a bad show is easy to stop watching, and a good show is easy to come back to, but a mediocre show is probably the worst of all, particularly one made by people whose work you usually like and want to give the benefit of the doubt to. But Dollhouse to me is just that painfully mediocre show that I keep hoping for better from, only to be constantly disappointed by.

But hey, despite all of that, I'd never tell anyone else that they don't have a right to a different opinion, or shouldn't like a show just because it doesn't work for me, so while I don't agree with you Dave I, I can certainly respect the fact that you happen to like the show and apparently see things in it that I don't.

Castle had a Halloween episode last night, and I believe The Mentalist has one too this week. I also heard Medium is doing a "Night of the Living Dead" episode, and NBC has some sort of "Monsters vs Aliens" Halloween special on Wednesday. ABC seems to be airing "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" tonight at 8:00 and tomorrow too.

Bye, Funnyman! (Hoping you will grace us again next week with that same joke. I CAN'T WAIT!)
