Say Goodbye to Productivity

TheWB.com launched today, adding to the list of online corporate streaming sites. It’s a conspiracy to kill my productivity, I’m sure. Hello Veronica Mars, Buffy, and Gilmore Girls.

Also, this reaffirms my belief that nothing good has come out of the WB and UPN merger. They might as well call the CW the WB because they’ve killed off almost all of the minority character-driven shows of UPN. *Sigh*.

Ph.D in TV

Given how much I love television, sometimes I’m a little conflicted about the idea of Ph.Ds in TV studies. The primary reason being, will you lose your ability to enjoy the show from an entertainment perspective if you’re spending your time analyzing it? Can there ever be a thing as too much TV?

That being said, how cool is this academic conference about papers that analyze Buffy? Way cool.
