Television:
Not Much Interest in Sitcoms or Tele-Dramas, Too Much Devotion of Time involved.
However, I do like "Smallville", "Lost", & "Grey's Anatomy" - I'm a Sucker for Tringular & Quadrangular Love Stories. It's The Bane Of My Existence, I Suppose
I did like the first season of "Drawn Together", but I think it lost a little something the second time around.
"Later... with Jools Holland" is Amazing. It's really the only show I look forward to viewing, from week to week.
I really liked "Odyssey 5" and "Dead Like Me" but Showtime cancelled them after the first couple seasons. "Firefly" was pretty cool too!
I'd Have To Say That, By Far, "The Wild Record Collection" Is The Best Show Ever Broadcasted On The American Television System. Hands Down, GENIUS. Both Extremely Entertaining & Lavishly Informative. You Can't Beat Stuffed Animals Dancing To Rare & Elusive Music Tracks Found Nowhere Else, But In The Brilliant & Demented Home Of "Snuffles", The Soft Spoken Polar Bear MC, Of This NY Cable Access Gem.
Some Old Favorites: Moonlighting, Magnum P.I., Herman's Head, Land of the Lost, The Misfits of Science, Automan, Knight Rider, Buck Rogers, Hart to Hart, Columbo and Fantasy Island.
Cartoons: Gummie Bears, Tom & Jerry, Duck Tales, G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, Heathcliff, Thundercats, Thundar the Barbarian, The Smurfs, The Littles, Inspector Gadget, Chip & Dale (Rescue Rangers), Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, Felix the Cat, Gumby & Pokey, Mr. Bill
Books:
I mostly read Non-fiction:
A Wide Variety of Science Books, some Ancient History & Religous Texts.
Some Fiction Authors I Like:
Tom Robbins, Carlos Castaneda, Robert Heinlein, Jonathan Safran Foer...
Some Playwrites I Like:
Harold Pinter, Anton Chekhov, Moliere, Shakespeare...
Poets I Like:
William Butler Yeats, Pablo Neruda, Marge Piercy, Billy Collins...
And then there's the Genius of:
Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Joyce, and Dante Alighieri
PLUS...
Of Course, I Could Not Leave Out, The Remarkably Talented, Ever-Inspiring, Always-Growing "Family Of Friends" At "MOUTH-OFF" & "WORD PARTY". Without Your Immediate Acceptance & Embracment Of Me, Your Instant Belief & Support Of What I Do, And Your Constant Dedication To Sharing Your Own Soul's "TRUTH", Every Week: I Don't Know Where I'd Be Today. Seriously, From The Deepest Part Of WHO I AM, I Can't Thank You Guys Enough. Much Love, ALWAYS.
AND... In Most Recent Addition, To My Life, I Must Express My Fascination & Profound Respect, Out To The Marvelous "16TH & MISSION" Crew. Such An Honor To Be Allowed To Share In That Circle, And To Have Been Treated With Such Kindness, From The Very Start Of My Inclusion. Certainly, Another HOME, With Which To Lay My Heart & Mind's Words, Without The Fear Of Flippant Judgement Creating Silence. Many-Many Thanks. And Much Love, As Well.
