Mass Media Mayhem

I’m not sure if I’m ashamed to admit it or not but Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel looks interesting. I’ve added it to the Tivo.

In other TV news the new season of Eureka on [SciFi] starts next month. It’s about damn time. I really enjoyed the first season and have been looking forward to this new one for a long time.

What is it with good shows having year long breaks between seasons? I can understand it with a new show that has a huge amount of production, like The Venture Bros., having a long gap between season one and two. But they know they’ve got us hooked so why did they wait so long after season two was done before they even started working on season three? 2008?!!

I enjoyed The Dresden Files but in a podcast Jim Butcher mentioned that there isn’t even any talk of a second season. He also mentioned that the episodes were shown out of order. Well I’m sure SciFi will release the DVDs eventually and I can watch them in the correct order. Update: They will be released on August 7th according to Amazon.com.

Don’t even get my started on Doctor Who or Torchwood… Thankfully my Netflix queue has plenty of TV shows to keep me busy.
