the two best shows i wasn't watching...

pushing daisies:
if the princess bride and willy wonka had a crime-fighting baby, it would be pushing daisies. clever, romantically visceral, well made, and self-aware, pushing daisies is the most original fairy-tale to hit television in perhaps forever. watch this show.

friday night lights:
the reality and emotion of minor league baseball (aka the semblance of hope i have for america as a concept...) wrapped up in a football show. i'm on episode 9, but i only see it going up from here. it's the athletic wonder years.

tune in.

"the athletic wonder years" ?

That's a big claim coming from a major wonder years fan like yourself. After a statement like that I suppose I must see it for myself.
