I don't really watch much tv. some adult swim. occasionally a movie I like. it's pretty much a vast wasteland otherwise. I especially hate so called "reality" tv. I can't believe most people don't realize how phony that garbage is.cartoons: Aqua Teen, Family Guy, Venture Bros, JLU, old Jonny Quest (from the sixties), Catscratch is a recent favorite by Doug Tennapel who also created Earthworm Jim. Metalocalypse, Chuck Jones is gold. especially like Wile E. Coyote.comedy: Kids in the Hall, Monty Python, Young Ones, SNL from 86 to 92, SCTV, Mad TV, Comedians of Comedy, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Arrested Development, ScrubsI've gotten into some of Sci Fi's original shows: Eureka's a good one. Heroes I'd like to see more of (it's on when I'm working mostly). Eccelston's Doctor Who run was brilliant. Tennant's not so much. I also dug Tom Baker. He was my Doctor.
I read a lot about Mythology. I also enjoy horror (surprise!) and crime fiction.Lovecraft, Poe, King, Barker, Joe R. Lansdale, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, James Ellroy, Chuck Palaniuhk, Philip Nutman, Robert E. Howard, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Douglas Adams. I also like de comical books, aka "graphic novels." damn near anything written by Grant Morrison or Warren Ellis is gold. Hellboy, The Goon, Ghost Rider, Nocturnals, Sin City, New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke is one of my current faves, George Perez (NTT, JLA, and Crisis!), Marv Wolfman, Starman (Robinson & Harris), Golden Age, Kirby, Ditko, Peter David (especially his Hulk stuff), Jim Starlin, Berni Wrightson, Mike Ploog, Chaos! (RIP Steven Hughes), Agents of Atlas, Kyle Hotz, Jerry Beck, Jim Balent
