Sucks to be Richard

Survivor ended on Sunday.  Perhaps I'll write something about it at a later time, but right now laziness trumps productivity.  For now, I'll just say that Aras' victory was decidedly "meh" and I'm just pleased that Terry didn't win.

However, I do think it's interesting that original Survivor winner Richard Hatch is going to be spending 51 months in the hoosegow for not paying taxes on his million bucks.  His sentence was worse than anyone expected because he pissed the judge off by repeatedly committing perjury during the trial.

It’s the upfronts!: ABC

I should be doing this, instead of whatever I'm doing now.

You know, I really hate ABC. Granted, I watch Grey's Anatomy. All the time. But sometimes I hate it, you know? And I hate myself for watching it? But it's addictive anyway? But there's absolutely nothing else they offer that I'm remotely interested in. I suppose I'd probably like Lost, if I ever got around to watching it, which, hey, maybe I'll do that this summer. Not a bad idea. Still, they have the worst possible taste in comedies, and their relentless family feel-good style makes me queasy.

So anyway, it's the upfronts, here's ABC's fall schedule.

Of note: Let's Rob Mick Jagger is the clear winner here, and pretty much the only new show I'm even remotely "jazzed" about. The Nine makes me think of Donald Kaufman's screenplay in Adaptation, The Three, which means in my head it might have a motorcycle and horse chase ("it's like technology vs. horse") but will in no way be any good. Best title: Betty the Ugly. Best casting: Hope Davis and Campbell Scott, Six Degrees. Worst schedule change: Grey's Anatomy is moving to Thursday at 9, putting it up against Studio 60.
