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
Had HBO for two days.
Don't really miss it.
P.S.: I've put them
Chronologically (ish)
Is that okay, y'all?
Fringe: "The Same Old Story" (9-16)
House: "Dying Changes Everything"(9-16)
Life: "Find Your Happy Place" (Debuted on Internet 9-22, First TV airing 9-29)
How I Met Your Mother: "Do I Know You" (9-22)
Fringe: "The Ghost Network"(9-23)
How I Met Your Mother: "The Best Burger In New York" (9-29)
Fringe: "The Arrival" (9-30)
(Note: where I live, "trials" really is one syllable)
Pushing Daisies: "Bzzzzzzzzz!"(10-1)
Friday Night Lights: "I Knew You When" (10-1)
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!
I d.q.'d some shows
Like Mad Men or Dethklok show
For starting too soon.

Both of these titles
Are seventeen syllables
Perfect haiku length
Actual review:
First funny; Second more so.

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.
