handful_ofdustAh, yes...well, that makes sense: Apparently, I can’t make polls, because I have a free account. Okay. So here’s the slightly more organized version, cut for the benefit of those who could care less at this point:
Say you came over to my house to watch comedy. Would you be more interested in—
A) Coupling, the British comedy about three men, three women and lots of sex? (The "main" guy is Jack Davenport!)
B) Arrested Development, the American comedy about a family of rich lunatics, most selfish but one well-intentioned? (It’s narrated by Ron Howard!)
C) There is no third comedy choice, because you’re coming to Gemma’s place, not Ste—oh, wait a minute.
Now, say you came over to watch cultish science fiction. Would you be more interested in—
A) Battle of the Planets, because you’re five? (Some episodes also available with Gatchaman equivalents!)
B) Firefly, because you’re the one hardcore cultish science fiction person on earth who’s never seen it? (Serenity hits the big screen soon[ish]!)
C) Doctor Who 9, but not until after next week, when I’ll have the complete run? (No more Christopher Eccleston next season!)
D) Battlestar Galactica 2003, see question B)? (People can say "frack" in it—and, actually, frack!)
Or perhaps you like da creep. Would you be more interested in—
A) Millennium, aka My Name is Frank Black, and I Must See (All the Crazy Shit in Everybody Else’s Head [But I’m NOT Psychic!]).
B) Carnivale, aka Freaks, Geeks and Sideshow Floozies? (Plus Apocalyptic preacher and faith healer types, ‘cause you know you gotta sin to get saved!)
C) The Kingdom, aka No Anteaters Please, We’re Danish Scum? (And if you get that joke, you’re halfway there already!)
D) Ultraviolet, aka No Calling Them Vampires Out Loud, Please, We’re British? (Also with Jack Davenport!)
E) Neverwhere, aka I Went to London Below, and All I Got Was This Kick in the Arse From the Marquis of Carabas? (It’s by Neil Gaiman, with Doctor Who’s oldschool production values!)
And then there’s a huge-ass story well-told, in episodic format—might be real-time, might have cops, might take place over a long temporal canvas, might not. Would you be more interested in—
A) 24, albeit in two twelve-hour chunks?
B) Murder One, forerunner of The Practice, in which Stanley Tucci plays the Devil?
C) The Shield, because damn, it feels good to be a gangsta (even when you’re actually a cop)?
D) Wiseguy, not least because it made (and broke) the slashy imprint mold?
E) Crime Story, because it’s what Michael Mann did between Miami Vice and movies?
F) The Jewel in the Crown, because you like India, even though you have no idea otherwise what the hell I’m talking about?
And now I shut up, and go. Back later with a genuine entry.
