Time Magazine had a list of their top 6 dramas on TV today. Among the shows I don't watch was The Shield, along with some random medical or police procedural drama. Also included was Veronica Mars, which I picked up on a week or two ago and love to an extent not felt by me since Buffy, and another show on the list, Lost. House was on there, and I do love it. And finally Battlestar Galactica. I thought, how good can that possibly be, but since I like to get a whole bunch of episodes at once and watch them while I play poker (having a distraction like that keeps me from playing too many hands), I got the miniseries and the entire first season and watched them this weekend. Loved it, great show! Sci-fi wise as good as any thing since Star Trek: The Next Generation, and, with more time under its belt, it may surpass ST:TNG. This has the potential to be the king of TV sci-fi all-time!

I'm amazed at the quality of drama on TV nowadays. Too bad comedy completely sucks, except for Scrubs, Arrested Development (which I hear is going to be canceled), and Malcolm in the Middle. Of course I get more laughs from an episode of The O.C. (which, sadly, is not nearly as good as season 1) then from most any sitcom I've ever watched.
