Buffy the Oscar Slayer
I’m not up for an Oscar.
I don’t know any one up for an Oscar.
So, I’m not entirely sure why I should care to watch the Oscars.
Which is why I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer tonight.
And doing so reminded me of why I am beginning to hate Chiller as much as Syfy.
First, Buffy was running weeknights at 6 and 7 p.m. That gave me the chance to watch it again and see some of the episodes I missed or didn’t remember.
And, then, one night, it wasn’t on at 6 and 7 p.m. anymore. Nor the next night. Or the night after that.
I think they were in the middle of the 3rd or 4th season when they dropped it.
Well, they didn’t drop it, but rather moved it to the wee hours of the morning.
When I sleep.
But, then I saw they were running it on Sundays at 6 p.m. So, I started watching then.
And, as I was watching tonight, they were running ads announcing Buffy would be moving to midnight on Sundays.
Argh!
They’re getting as bad as Syfy. I think they’re both owned by NBC. Apparently, Comcast isn’t doing any better of a job at running NBC and its networks than the clowns did before them.
So, this is SciFi month on Syfy. So, logically, of course, they’re running a James Bond movie tonight, as part of SciFi month.
Granted, there are occasional elements of science fiction in James Bond, but it’s more in the spy/thriller genre than the scifi genre.
Oh, and then on Tuesday, as part of a day of fantasy, they’re running Star Trek: The Next Generation. So, Star Trek is fantasy and James Bond is scifi?
I need to figure out how to get my TV and my computer to play nice so I can just stream whatever I want from Amazon.com and not worry about what pinhead TV network executives think is a good idea.
I *heart* The Oscars. In fact, it’s one of my favorite nights of the year. I love movies and I almost ALWAYS see all of the films and people nominated for the awards. Plus, it’s all about the clothes, and the shoes, the speeches, and the glitz and glamor.
Well, see, I don’t care about the clothes, the shoes, the speeches or the glitz and glamour.
Definitely a good choice in watching Buffy. Wish they’d restart that show, it was one of my favorites. And it’s not like the characters are too old or anything. Alyson Hannigan might not like to leave her nice role in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ though.
They’re doing a reboot. A new movie, with no Joss Whedon and no Sarah Michelle Gellar or any of them.
I’d rather see the TV cast in a movie than a reboot.
