Reunion.

Great show. Aired in 2005, cancelled after 9 episodes.
I loved this show from the first episode. It was just a big murder mystery and I couldn't wait to let the speculation begin. What happens in this show is pretty basic. We have 3 friends who graduate in the 80s. 20 years later, one of them is murdered at their high school reunion, by one of the 5 remaining friends.

Sounds intense doesn't it? Well don't soak your panties just yet, because it was cancelled. Cancelled. Not even ended abruptly, but literally just pulled from it's timeslot and left to die. We never got to find out who killed Sam. No joke my friends, I still wonder to this day, and my numerous emails demanding answers have remained fruitless.

Tru Calling

Not only did you get to oogle Eliza Dushku's goodies, but you also got to admire her for her striking one note performance that captivated audiences everywhere for a glorious 27 episodes (It was like watching Faith trade in her leather pants for a labcoat and some compassion!). Now I'm not as mad about this one, because it still airs in syndication.

The plot was basically this. Tru Davies (Dushku) is a med student interning at the city morgue. Don't ask me what her job was, because we never actually see her work. She just kinda...walks around in a lab coat. Anyway, about 6-8 minutes into every episode, we see a tragic accident occur, and someone dies. The body is wheeled into the morgue and just when everything is dark quiet and sufficiently creepy, the body re-animates itself to say "HELP ME" and Tru goes back in time to try and save them. It doesn't always work..but in every episode there is a life lesson, and life lessons are worth more than ratings.

Did I mention Jason Priestly being her nemesis?

Carnivale.

This show was snuffed out of existence after 2 short intense seasons. Now I really don't think they gave this show a fair shake. It certainly appealed to a specific demographic and it had no shortage of good acting and interesting plot twists.

The show went like this: There's a guy named Ben. Ben can heal the sick. Ben joins the circus. Circus tours the creepiest areas of America. We see a lot of boobs. There's some not-so-steamy Ben on GILF action with the creepy snake charmer. An awkward bearded lady smokes a pipe in a silk moomoo. All this goes on while an evil russian priest and his sadistic incestual sister try to build a new city of God and kill people for no apparent reason. Did I mention the catatonic psychic lady who lives in a bus? ALLLLLLLLL of that beezneez is related in some way. That's what makes it so awesome.

The show lasted 2 seasons and in an effort to gently ween me off, they tied everything together at the end. It weened me about as well as a five year old who's mom still breast feeds him next to you at the airport.

OH! Period girl from Superbad plays a bi-curious stripper.

Justice.


That was some good television right there. Put on hiatus in 2007 and hasn't been heard from since. This was a new kind of crime drama...way smarter than Law and Order and not nearly as annoying as David Carusso.

The show was about four lawyers who take on cases that usually involve some type of murder, manslaughter, wrongful death, etc. They spend the whole episode building a flawless case, and at the end, someone goes to jail.

Here's where it gets bonerific. At the end of the episode we're shown exactly who murdered who and why, and we decide wether or not Justice was served. Half the time, it isn't, and you feel compelled to yell it at the tv screen. It's like watching Braveheart and waiting for Mel Gibson to ride into town and save his wife before she gets her throat cut....you know he can't hear you....

The cancellation of this show, was a grave injustice (eh? eh? see what I just did there?)

Queer eye for the straight guy


Where the fuck did that show go? I'm fairly certain that it had the ratings, appealed to a wide demographic, and made people happy. This show was genius from start to finish. I think it really changed the way a lot of people think, and not to mention, made us feel better about ourselves when we saw what other people's houses looked like.

For those of you who live under a rock, this show was brilliant. You have five highly skilled homosexuals. They kidnap an unwilling fashion victim of the hetero persuasion, and make over his life. They make him pretty, his house pretty, his food pretty, and his brain pretty. It was like watching unicorns and white kittens frolic through fields of marshmallows and ketamine. This show made me happy. It was awesome. If What Not to Wear can stay on the air for so long, why can't Queer Eye?

I hate Stacy London.
