Entertainment Fail

kazariI'm sure I'm the last to hear about this (and via The Colbert Report no less!) but I just can't stop laughing. The SciFi channel is renaming themselves to the SyFy Channel to divorce themselves from the nerd image they feel is holding them back. Really? Seriously? The exec makes mention in the article that the change is in part to endear women to the network and boost ratings. Methinks good shows would do that. No? No? Apparently not. I stopped watching when they started airing more wrestling and reality shows than scifi. What does that make me?
Console yourselves ladies by visiting the Harlequin website and generating your own personalized romance novel blurb. It's beautiful. I imagine this is how they really write those plotlines.
Speaking of television that nobody watches, did anybody catch the premire of NBC's Kings? It's a retelling of biblical King David's story in a modern setting. Feels like a show that would be on Showtime or HBO but magically appeared on NBC when nobody was looking. No, really. It's premire was the lowest rated show on Sunday night. Go watch the first episode on Hulu why don't you? I find it pretty. I'd like it to get at least a little bit in before it's canceled and replaced with another Sherlock Holmes superdetective crime show.
Maybe I won't write about the con after all. Too much trouble. And nobody cares.
