Getting Reacquainted with Old Friends

It's wonderful having a newborn. So many things to be grateful and excited about: first smiles, lil giggles, cute outfits with itty bitty feets attached, and midnight feedings. Wait. What did I just say? Midnight feedings are fun? Why, YES, they ARE.

Not only did I manage to watch every episode of Gilmore Girls in 7 weeks, finding new friends to know and love, I've also been able to revisit an oft overlooked spin-off series, Angel. Sure everyone always remembers Buffy, but what about a Angel (sic)? The die-hards remember, but not the everyday Joe of TV viewership. Season 3 has to be one of the most spectacular, well put together seasons of television of all time. I had hesitations going into Season 4, because how could it be anywhere as good? Well, it certainly comes very close. And, while Season 5 has more stand-alone episodes than a final season should, it's still bloody brilliant (pun INtended).

Maybe you could care less about a show six years dead, maybe you could care less about Jossy Whedon and his vampire universe, but seriously, folks, this is some fine television. Darkly comedic, tragically romantic, and genuinely entertaining. (Oh, and the cast's not too hard on the eyes, either. Seriously, everyone of 'em. Kinda disgusting.) Do yourself a favor and check out...and forgive me for not reporting on this sooner. :)
