Promised mega post! It's finally done, people! Can you believe it!

(this is the ever-lengthening, thrice-delayed mega-long post. And no, it's not worth it.)

My TV haikus
Of every show I watched
( fall season only).

Beware it, my friends:
Start reading, you may not stop
Talking in haiku.

With that considered
Know what I don't count-- three things:
Reruns, News, Fragments


True Blood: "Strange Love" (Aired 9-7)
Forgot I'd watched this.
Had HBO for two days.
Don't really miss it.



P.S.: I've put them
Chronologically (ish)
Is that okay, y'all?

Fringe: "Pilot" (9-9)

I liked-- loved-- the cow.
But the show? I'm not so sure.
Nowhere near Lost yet

SNL: "Michael Phelps/ Lil Wayne" (9-13)

Phelps is no Manning
Athlete hosts: always risky
Who cares, Tina Fey!

Fringe: "The Same Old Story" (9-16)

Fringe: X-Files ripoff,
Buffy and Angel ripoff,
Or more Twilight Zone?

House: "Dying Changes Everything"(9-16)

House versus Wilson,
Medicine-y things happened
The patient lived (?)

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
: "Mac and Dennis: Manhunters" and "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" (Both aired 9-18)
Both of these titles
Are seventeen syllables
Perfect haiku length

Actual review:
First funny; Second more so.
"Wild card, bitches!" (jumps)

SNL: "James Franco/ Kings of Leon" (9-20)

(Yawns) Forgetable.
(Yawns) Nothing to blog about.
(Yawns) Watch Freaks and Geeks.

Chuck: "Chuck Versus the First Date"(Debuted on Internet 9-22, First TV airing 9-29)

Nerd spy dude uses
Call of Duty to save world.
Hey, it could happen!

Life: "Find Your Happy Place" (Debuted on Internet 9-22, First TV airing 9-29)

Cop goes to prison,
Is released, rejoins the force.
This week's case: boxes.

How I Met Your Mother: "Do I Know You" (9-22)

The last good sitcom
Hits the ground walking. Oh well.
We'll see how it goes.

Heroes: "The Second Coming", "The Butterfly Effect"(Both aired 9-22)

This show must be bad
If this is considered good.
The song is better.

At this point I watch
More for the coming train wreck
Than the storylines.

Fringe: "The Ghost Network"(9-23)

Boring, boring, bor-
ing, boring, forgetable.
Better than last week.


It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: "America's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model Contest" (9-25)

Weaker than last week
But still pretty danged funny
No good quotes though

and "Mac's Banging the Waitress" (Also aired 9-25)

Recalls Season 2's
"Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom," except
Where were Dee and Frank?


The Office: "Weight Loss" (9-25)

Innovative, smart
clever, funny. This is what
All TV should be.
SNL: "Anna Faris/ Duffy" (9-27)

Could have been better
Moving along, what's a Duffy?
Nevermind, don't care

The Simpsons: "Sex, Pies and Idiot-Scrapes" (9-28)

God, what a dumb pun.
Homer and Ned: pretty fun
Marge story was not.

King of the Hill: "Dia-Bill-ic Shock" (9-28)

Another dumb pun.
Otherwise good episode
(I'm so insightful).

Family Guy: "Love Blactually"(9-28)

I really forgot
What happened in this half-hour
Not a good sign, folks.

American Dad!: "1600 Candles" (9-28)

Underrated show--
or the most underrated
Show?- Steven Colbert

How I Met Your Mother: "The Best Burger In New York" (9-29)

This one I did like.
Because what other shows would
say "burger" this much?

Heroes: "One of Us, One of Them" (9-29)

And here's that train wreck
Sylar good? That's not a twist,
that's the Gordian.

Fringe: "The Arrival" (9-30)

Do we all agree
No-eyebrows-not-Michael-Stipe
Is an alien?
House: "Adverse Events" (9-30)

Grossest case ever;
I'll never enter drug trials.
Lucas B-story.

(Note: where I live, "trials" really is one syllable)

Pushing Daisies: "Bzzzzzzzzz!"(10-1)

I'm missing an ep.
To finish this post. Must add:
"Best title ever"

Friday Night Lights: "I Knew You When" (10-1)

If you've seen this show
And you still don't love it, sir,
There's something wrong with you


My Name Is Earl: "Joy in A Bubble" and "Stole an RV" (Both aired 10-2)

Still no brilliance yet
We need a good Randy ep.
C'mon, Hollywood!


It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: "Mac and Charlie Die, pts. 1 and 2" (Both aired 10-2)

Cons: Hit-and miss. Long.
Jokes were weak. Pros: "The Shadow".
My grade: A-

Life: "Everything...All the Time" (10-3)

The case-- confusing
Not an good as "Happy Place"
Fluke, or bad omen?

SNL: "Anne Hathaway/ The Killers" (10-4)

Funny SNL!?
Brandon Flowers has freak face--
Homeboy creeped me out.

The Simpsons: "Lost Verizon" (10-5)

Bart gets a cell phone!
Hijinks ensue! Big guest star!
'Twas a "good" one (sighs).

King of the Hill: "Earthly Girls Are Easy" (10-5)

Felt like a South Park
With all the politicking
Hey, South Park's on now!

Family Guy: "I Dream of Jesus" (10-5)

Standard FG ep.
The bird is indeed the word.
Jesus stuff too short.

American Dad!: "The One That Got Away" (10-5)

Best in a while now.
I always liked this show, but
Two Rogers? Bravo.


Heroes: "I Am Become Death" (10-6)

A small, small step up.
At this rate it'll be good
By Twentyonetwelve.

How I Met Your Mother: "I Heart NJ" (10-6)

Stella's not the mom.
I wasn't sure until now
But Jersey? Come on!



I d.q.'d some shows
Like Mad Men or Dethklok show
For starting too soon.

This feature's being
Made frequenter (daily posts?).
They won't be this long.
