Spent some time the other day lurking over at the TWoP forums (I know, I know, I was taking my life into my own hands) where I saw an argument over who is the greater tv god, Joss Whedon or David Milch. I'm sorry to say that, as much as I enjoy everything Whedon and think Deadwood is one of the keenest shows on tv, in all actuality Aaron Sorkin is the greatest creator of tv shows ever. The early seasons of The West Wing should be shown to future generations of television creators as the pinacle of perfection and the example of what they should all strive to emulate. Watched the first few episodes of season two last night and am reveling in the West Wing love.

And this is where I would wax rhapsodic, but I will spare you all the inevitable saccharine explosion. I have no skill at poetry so just imagine that I'm doodling little hearts and flowers in the margins of my imaginary notebook and have whole pages full of the various permutations of Mrs. Josh Lyman. La la la *doodles*

Have started scheduling House into my weekly tv viewing schedule. It's not perfect but dang is it fascinating. It's my new soap opera.

It's great how new TV shows just sort of slip into the schedule

Isn't it, though? One week you're caually flipping it by it while you wait for your laundry to wash and the next you're obsessively timing everything around it. Oh tv.

Whattaya mean "not perfect"?! *sputters* Don't be dissin' my TV boyfriend!

No, no, no, no dissing, I swear! I love House and House and Wilson and Cuddy and all of them to pieces. I'm totally addicted and think House is a character of wonderful complexity and want to know more about him, I promise! *makes soothing noises*

Perfect is a high standard. Shoot, I don't even think the LotR movies were perfect and I love them with all my heart. Please don't send your boyfriend over to set me straight, I'm sure I would never mentally or emotionally recover from the experience.
