Are You Watching “Samantha Who?”?
Are you watching it? Huh, huh, huh? It’s sooo good. Easily becoming one of my favorite shows, and there have only been two episodes. It even has a Wikipedia entry now. Please try to find the episodes to watch. If you have TiVo, you can watch them for $1.99 through Amazon UnBox, you can also rent or buy movies, but I loves mah tv. I love UnBox, it’s saved our butt when our horribly unreliable Cox Cable dvr screwed up recording AGAIN. We were able to download “Reaper”, “How I Met Your Mother”, and “Chuck” to our TiVo. Figures that the dvr would screw up on some of our favorite shows versus, say, “Bionic Woman”, which just isn’t impressing us. We’ve seen two episodes, and maybe we’ll give it a third, but then we’re done. Oh, and since Unbox is focusing on “Heroes”, let’s talk about how the show got off to a pretty lousy start in its second season, but Veronica Mars, er, Kristen Bell, saves the day again. This last episode was SO much better than the previous ones this season. I wish Sylar would kill Molly, Maya & Alejandro - ugh, how many times can I hear, “Maaaatttt, I’m scared” and “Alejandro, help me, my eyeballs are flooding black gunk again and I’m killing people...again”? Okay, I’ll tell you how many more times...none. I am, however, enjoying Micah’s trip to New Orleans and his cousin, Monica’s, new cool powers. The actor who plays Micah has grown up so much since last season. He’s really adorable. And, I’ll bet he could make our damned TiFaux dvr work all the time, so we don’t have to buy tv show backups from Amazon.
Oh, poopy. I just discovered that Unbox doesn’t have “Samantha Who?”; however, all is not lost. ABC is showing the premiere episode on their website, and the third episode will be on Monday, so you can catch up. I promise that you’ll laugh. My favorite tv critic, Doug Elfman, isn’t in love with the show yet, but he likes it. Since he writes better than I do, here’s his description of the show.
