I must be getting old. There's nothing on TV.

I used to watch a lot of shows, but most of them have ended (X-Files) or been cancelled (Firefly) or started to suck really hard (Andromeda).

I'm still watching Buffy and Angel. But with Buffy ending and Angel -- has it been renewed? -- in doubt, I have no new shows to be fannish about. (I did give Smallville a try for about 6 eps, but just couldn't deal.)

I find I'm moving into lit fandoms, which is cool and I'm enjoying it a lot. And there are some good movies coming up too. But I still want my weekly fannish TV fix. I want to sit there on the couch and stare and clench my fists and talk to the screen and know that I can go online afterwards and bond with people over it.

Is there anything on now that I should be jumping into? Heard about anything good coming up?

On a positive note, new episodes of Trailer Park Boys start April 20. This is an absolutely fucking brilliant Canadian show. It's faux reality -- a documentary about Julian and Ricky who are, well, trailer park boys. Each season takes place in between their numerous stints in jail.

They used to be contract pet killers. (If your neighbour's cat was menacing your birds, you would just call Julian and Ricky and put a hit on the cat.) Mostly now, they grow dope. This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen and I'm in love with it. But it's not going to do for my fannish show.

So, got a fandom? Seduce me.

Jeremiah: oh, like fifteen years ago all the adults died of a terrible disease. Now Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner are all growed up in a post-apocalyptic world where cities and towns are gang-ified and run by the tough kids. Luke and Malcolm (Jeremiah and Kurdy) end up at a place called Thunder Mountain which was a research facility before all the grownups died, now it's a kind of a safe haven run by a kid called Markus who reminds me a whole lot of Mal from Firefly. With the weight of the world on his shoulders and whatnot. (And he's so TOTALLY in love with Jeremiah, I mean, duh) and they're all trying to find a cure for the disease and they're also trying to uncover a Secret Conspiracy of Allegedly Alive Grownups called "Valhalla Sector." Which, of course, Jeremiah's dad is a part of.

Mmmm, now I need to re-watch. Want I should dub the first season for you on tapes? 'Cause I'd do that for another Jeremiah fan. As there are, like, four of us.

Check out the Showtime website, www.sho.com, for more info and cute pictures.

Jeremiah sounds *really* interesting. Alas, it's on pay-tv here, not anything I get with my already over-priced cable package. Maybe it's time to move to digital.

Let me ponder re the tapes. I don't want to put you to any bother.

But Miracles I can watch, so I'll give that a whirl tonight.
