Hex night last night...If you don't know, Hex is a rad show on BBC america with hot chicks and demons and sexy results. There is a marathon this weekend. I caught it from the beginning and next week is the season finale. So I am stoked...
Here is a promo...
BBC televison (foriegn TV in general) is much better than american TV in my opinion. Not only do they not airbrush or over make people up but the writing and acting always seem better too. Plus there is nudity which would be deemed "filth" here in america.Last week i saw boobs, lesbian sex, a ball sack and a penis (these last two were two seperate scenes) in an hour and a half. Their news is way more in touch and impartial than our news too. It is maddening to think how much crap we get on TV like for example: Icon type shows (ie; American idol, So you think you can dance, rockstar, etc.) stupid reality TV (real world, the gauntlet, laguna beach/the hills, all the other MTV garbage),the terribly biased news (ahhem FOX i'm looking in your direction), and our terrible remakes of good shows (The office, coupling, twilight zone). This is not to say that there is not bad forign TV because there is, its just that the amount of quality excedes ours and we have the larger market. There is however some good television coming from the US, most of which gets canceled right away or under promoted (see; Arrested Development, Futurama, etc.) or only on premium channels ( See; Sopranos, Weeds, Big Love), or both (See; Carnivale). and there are a feww little gems still running and in my opinion are still decent; The Simpsons which is in its 17th season and is still funny (although not as funny as say season 6), Project Runway (which i think is a quality show because it brings some class and some interesting ideas to the table), Adult swim has decent programming, Comedy Central has some decent programming too (Especially the alternatively biased Daily Show and Colbert Report and Chapelle Show)although they also have some garbage too (Reno 911, Mind of Mencia), and finally Conan who is miraculously funny after being on since 1993. Well enough of my tyrade about television, because Honestly I don't even watch all that much of it (contrary to how this post may seem). This weekend will hopefully be full of fun surprises, and hopefully I get some work done! So for the weekend I leave you with another video... this one rules hard...
BAD BRAINS 1979!!!
