TQ: TV

I see I have some new blog comments — sorry I've not read them yet and I think it is time for me to hit the sack. For now, the latest questions from Mark.

1. What did you watch on TV when you were a kid?
Not much. Some cartoons, the cheesy old Batman reruns from the 60's, that kind of thing. But really not that much. I didn't “get into TV” until I became a Trekkie. Reruns of Star Trek episodes beckoned.

2. What do you still enjoy watching from your youth?
Very little, up until I got into Star Trek when I was eleven or so.

3. What new tv programs have you seen that you enjoy?
I can't think of any. The last new show I really enjoyed was Debbie Travis's Facelift — but that was a few years ago. I'm not sure if it is still on.

(As a side note, lest someone think I've been making grave punctuation errors, I do know that putting an apostrophe and an “s” after an “s,” as in “Debbie Travis's Facelift” was incorrect in the past, however in the latest editions of the Modern Language Association's style guides, they declared this formerly taboo style of punctuation as the endorsed way to denote a possessive [“genative case”] in English — even for words ending in “s.”)

4. Which show(s) can you not stand?
Most. I can't stand ones with absolute moral garbage; I also have a low tolerance for reality TV, poorly thought out news “magazines,” overly dramatized storylines, bad music, B-quality science fiction…

I'm picky, what can I say?
