Surprised? If you read this blog, you shouldn’t be.
I. Love. Firefly. I hate that it was cancelled before its time. And that I only discovered it on DVD when a friend of mine said, you love Buffy? You’ll love Firefly. And that was the end of me. When people make jokes or references to Firefly, I think they are the best jokes because they are the payoff.
The Big Bang Theory, for example, constantly refers to Firefly, the show that should never have been cancelled. And of course there’s the Train episode where the gang finds Summer Glau.

I thought I was excited about Celebrity Apprentice with Chuck Lidell last year. But holy. freakin. potatoes. I love this show. Or maybe I don’t. I do know that I recorded it in HD and watched it immediately. Maybe that’s because Chriso may or may not want to watch it later on. If he does, I won’t delete it right away.
A deal is in the works for Neil Patrick Harris to appear in an episode of Glee during May Sweeps that will be directed by the one and only Joss Whedon.
So, Brittany Murphy.
I know I haven’t been watching Heroes. I pretty much broke up with the series after the atrocity they call season 2. And then again one third of the way through season 3. So I haven’t really been keeping up with my Heroes news.
