Holy smokin' bullwinkle!
Apr. 10th, 2006 12:31 pmLast week, I checked the airfare for Toronto in July but didn't purchase tickets because I'm still on the fence about how long I'm going to be there. Today, I checked the airfare for Toronto in July and it's gone up over $150! I die.
I hate the airlines. For the amount we're charged nowadays and the lack of any fringe benefits (hello, don't even get a bag of dry pretzels anymore and if we want food we have to pay at least 3 times the actual value of said food), I'm starting to really become bitter. Yeah, yeah, financial straits...
Totally different subject, I happened to have the TV on NBC last night and heard them announce the amazing, stellar, "you should all be soooooo grateful for this" news that starting NEXT week, Medium's back on the air with new episodes. Not just this, but FIVE new episodes in a row!!1!1!
Aren't we just such lucky slobs that the network is finally going to do what it's supposed to do and frigging air their show?
I don't know when this trend of breaking up a season started, but it annoys the piss out of me. How on earth do networks retain current viewers and gain new when they're constantly yanking their shows for massive hiatuses in the middle of the season? If I don't see a new show week after week after week, I tend to first forget to check and then forget about the show entirely.
Bah.
I've got a case of the Mondays and a precurser for Girl Thing, in case that wasn't obvious.
