The show I’m most looking forward to this season… will be on the net

 Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. OK, busy for the last couple months, I’ve neglected following the trades and blogs as much as I normally do. Still, I cannot believe I missed this. Only thanks to Michael Patrick Sulivan did I discover it.
Speaking of three-named people who are middle-named Patrick, this wonderosity I’m describing stars Neil Patrick Harris. Plus, Nathan Fillion of Firefly. Plus, the perfect woman, Felicia Day. Oh, and it’s a JOSS freakin’ WHEDON production! Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet. (Just so you know, I was typing that last sentence, and had to go back and put in another “sweet.”) The project is “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog” and Whedon is describing it as, “The best 40-minute musical since the last one I made.” So far as I can tell, it’s only coming to the internet. This has to be the project that one of BrevityTV’s producers was super-close to getting to line produce. Now I’m so very, very sad for her that she last-minute didn’t get it. Sad face. Check out the teaser trailer. I can finally say that the internet will, with the arrival of this project, at last be a legitimate source of entertainment. (Hmm. maybe a guy who runs an internet television web site shouldn’t make comments like that….) |

On the TV show Futurama, the main character Fry often eats a product called “Bachelor Chow.” One assumes this is a play on Dog Chow. While this is, of course, a joke, and one somewhat pejorative of the bachelor lifestyle, I can’t help see the allure. A housemate and I have commented many times that we’d happily consume tons of bachelor chow if it existed. An inexpensive foodstuff that takes little or no time to prepare? Sign me up. It doesn’t have to taste incredible, and I don’t care if it comes in a box, as long as it’s fast and cheap.
