TV

biggest part of Big Media

shows I have loved, or at least enjoyed enough to schedule in DVR (Product Review): Community, 30Rock, Dr House, Mentalist, Lie to Me, Boston Legal, Good Eats (won't get me Cooking, but helps me enjoy Eating), Sopranos (at least early seasons), West Wing (early seasons), Psych, Eureka, The Neighbors.

Bill Maher/Daily Show/Colbert Report (actually don't watch those often, too many to keep up).... (actually/actually I'm totally over Bill Maher as of 2022)
more recent: Stranger Things, BBC Sherlock, Black Mirror, Resident Alien, True Detective, Umbrella Academy

Kids Tv: grouped by age-range: if no note, then I rather like it. Note these are from 2000-2007, so most are gone now.

1-3
- Sesame Street
- Backyardigans: awesome music (Douglas Wieselman and Evan Lurie (brother of John Lurie; co-founders of the Lounge Lizards)), fun imagination games
  - favorite episodes: Surfs Up (funk), Harbor Patrol (soul revue), Ping Pong Bandit (indian), Sinbad (mambo)
- WonderPets
- Thomas The Tank Engine: tedious messages ("be really useful, don't cause confusion and delay"), but kids love it, and ties in with toys they spend hours playing with
- Barney: have never let it be seen
4-6: NickToons
- Spongebob Squarepants
- RugRats: music by Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo and lots of movies.
- Rocket Power
- FairlyOddParents: by Butch Hartman, not related to Phil Hartman (?!?!)
- Avatar
- Wild Thornberries
7-10
- PokeMon, Blue Dragon: oh lordy these are so horrible
- Educational Tv: Civil War Journal, Nova, Good Eats, Top Chef, So You Think You Can Dance: ok maybe The Boys are atypical....
