Turn it off, for your kids sake: according to Nielsen Media Research, kids are watching more TV now than they have in years, and these are hours spent directly in front of the television, not online or with other kinds of access. Kids 2-5 are spending 32 hours a week, on average, watching television. We know it's all over for us, the brains are fried and we don't have an original thought or desire left, but for effsake, that's way too many hours for a kid to spend in front of the TV.

While we might love "30 Rock" we realize that not everyone does and proof of that was verified as the program debuted on Sunday in Germany and literally no one tuned in. So, if you don't like "30 Rock", just move to Germany, also, the beer is excellent.

I'm excited for V tonight. I hope it draws you back like Flashforward does. Added bonus, I have a crush on Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet!).
I have a crush on Jane Badler! Oh wait, wrong series...
Yeah, a face-to-face interview with Elizabeth Mitchell is something I covet. Jane Badler is pretty awesome as well! What'd you guys think of "V" tonight?
I really liked it! I had reservations, but was blown away by the beginning set-up, the sfx/ship designs were decent, and the characters were likable. Although the FBI chick (Elizabeth) is a bit "too" skinny... and EVERYONE is abnormally "good-looking". Even the priest was uncommonly handsome.
I think my new crush is the young blonde Visitor that Elizabeth's son takes a liking to.
I think it's awesome V is back, even in a new format.
But the pilot went too fast a lof the plot was given away. The visitors are not our friends, and 5th columnists exists.
I'm hoping that was done just to get it out of the way and build somethng with more substance.
But, even if does end up sucking ass, I'll still watch it.
Thanks for the comments - I think the first episode was meant to refamiliarize us with the concept of the show but now they're prepared to take off in various directions.
I didn't really care for the "War of the Worlds"-remake-style motorcycle fleeing, crowds, etc. intro but things shaped up decently after that.
I agree that all the characters are annoyingly perfect (so far). Even the original "V" had some obese and ailing characters but perhaps this will change during the course of the season (but that seems unlikely). The producers should look at the ensemble made for "Lost" where there were many characters of different body types and ages, kind of like real life.
Thanks again for reading.
I had a lot of fun watching V last night. I did think it went particularly fast, but I guess there's a lot more to come!
