As I've said, I was on dial-up for the longest time. It was hell. But now I have DSL, so I can investigate what all the cool kids have been up to! The latest is Hulu.com, which finally, after all my years of whining about its necessity, has stepped up to the plate to offer ad-supported streaming media -- TV shows, movies, etc. My first screening was Groundhog Day. Man, what a great film. Then I found full episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Bliss!
I discovered Jon back in the early '90s, when he was still just doing stand-up, and I was so happy when he got his own (albeit short-lived) talkshow on FOX. Not having cable, I desperately wished he had been Tom Snyder's replacement on CBS's Late Late Show after several successful guest hosting stints, but alas it was not to be. I've ached to enjoy Jon in his recent endevours, and now I finally can! It's amazing. No wonder he -- and The Daily Show -- have taken off. What a talented guy.
After that, I found Joss Whedon's indie web project, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I can't say I qualify as a true Whedonite, but I recognize the guy's talent. He oozes it. Though the ending was a bit...abrupt...and there were a few sluggish moments, overall I found it remarkably entertaining. Made me see Neil Patrick Harris in a whole different light. And some of those songs do stick with you. Good sign!
And then I watched ALF, a show I used to enjoy as a kid. What was I thinking?

I loved Alf. It was one of my favorites when I was kid. I even had a stuffed animal Alf. Hahaha. Do I sound like a dork? LOL!!
Oh, I'm pretty sure ALF was appointment TV for me when I was a kid (never had the stuffed animal, though -- I had a Punky Brewster doll, however!). And I cringe to admit the number of Full House episodes I watched, too. Oh, God, and Blossom! So I'm right there with you in the Dork Club!
