The TV Thread: Networks, cable, shows on DVD.

Best use of DVD players are old TV shows released by season. I own a few.

One that may have some interest for some of you is the upcoming release of the entire first season of Saturday Night Live which will include the musical numbers uncut. $45.49 on Amazon.

I've rejiggered this thread -- we didn't have a strictly TV thread, oddly.

Anyone else watch Mad Men? It's as wonderful as ever in this 3rd season, and this week's ep was (IMHO) stellar. ""I'm Peggy Olson and I want to smoke some marijuana." -- Quotable Line of the Month!

I finished Season Two just the other night, and I hope to catch up tonight on S3 at my friend's Tivo-enabled house.

That was the first Man Men ep I ever saw - the hype (including from Time's James Poniewozik) got to me.  I really appreciate the number of blanks they let the audience fill in - these are really well thought out characters, and the audience is not insulted in the slightest.

I watched all of season one courtesy of Blockbuster a couple months ago, but season two wasn't out yet.

So I wanted to rant about Comedy Central's rejiggering of their evening lineup: they've moved the Daily Show and Colbert replays from 8pm to 7pm, which means they compete with the 7:00 feed of Olbermann. Which, for me, sucks. I can watch DS/C at 7 and wait to see KO at 10, but that means bypassing the 10@10 replay. Decisions, decisions. 

And hey Comedy Central: enuf with Scrubs already! It's available on 17 other local stations and cable channels (WGN, TBS, KICU, KFTY -- even MTV and VH1 run the show on weekends). If ComCentral had exclusivity, I could understand them running it endlessly, but jeez. I've seen every ep 10 times.

OTOH, this new sked means I'm seeing more of Rachel Maddow.
