LKH in bold.

I'm not sure the television show, Desperate Housewives, is bad for us, in fact it's won a lot of awards.

I don't watch the show, so I can't speak for or against it, but… awards do not equal excellence. All an award means is that a certain sector—i.e., the people who determine who gets a certain award—liked something.

Then again, I don't think the AB or MG series have won many awards, so maybe I should let her logic stand. *eg*

I think it's just the title that makes it feel like a guilty indulgence.

Coming from the woman with such fabulous offerings as A Lick of Frost, A Caress of Twilight, Narcissus in Chains, Incubus Dreams, "A Lust of Cupids", "A Scarcity of Lake Monsters" (big WTF there), et al.? I think the list speaks for itself, really.

All I can say is PHILISTINES!!! they'd better well not cancel Rome after its second season. If it is, someone's going to be stabnationed like Caesar.

They announced this is the final season for Rome. Woe is us. It is apparently far too expensive to produce... I am all for the stabnation.

But to the plus side, they are bringing out a Southern Vampire series this fall (called, for no reason I can fathom 'True Blood'), and they have signed a contract to make A Song of Ice and Fire, one season per book with the author as one of the exec producers and writing one episode... Which means, unless it's Sopranos-big we'll get to see all of Books 1 and 2. *is still sulking over the Rome announcement.

If memory serves, the brand name of the synthetic blood in the series is "True Blood". Still, not the catchiest of titles.

I'd forgotten about the snythetic blood! I've been pondering that title for days. Heh. I guess I need to reread a couple of the books or something.

Although having esoteric random names is possibly not a good sign...? I figured they'd just name it "Bon Temps" or "Southern Vampire" or "Hot Supernatural Guys"

Oh, but they ARE getting rid of Sopranos. Again. Sopranos is up for it's last little hurrah of 13 episodes or something like that... But still, Emmy nods and awards/acclaim/awesomeness aside, Rome is getting booted. B*stards.

I will miss Pullo. Sob.

At least they haven't signed up for a season of Anita Blake...

Rome! OMG I have to wait six months for the new series in the UK, and I can't wait. I loved that to bits, especially Atia :D
