Two TV Shows That Will Leave You Twitterpated

Maybe I should have gone slower (whoa – what do you think I’m talking about, your mind is SO dirty) in jumping into two new fandoms. But I couldn’t help myself! (I’m frantically waving my hands to distract you as I climb out onto the roof.) The rumors are true – I’ve hopped on board with two more shows by watching them on DVDs. Can I get a drum roll (and glass of lemonade), please? The shows are 30 Rock and Big Love.

My reason for not watching them before was mostly time, and I don’t have a DVR so it can be difficult to get to every show I mean to watch. But in this desert of bad reality TV shows, I’ve found the time. I also found the time to do my laundry, scrub the bathroom ceiling, and perfectly pluck and shape my eyebrows without having to pay to get them waxed. Who’s laughing now, life?! (Oh, to clarify — life, much like ‘the man’ is always, ALWAYS, trying to get me down.)

I fully endorse and approve of these two shows. They make for quality TV show watching. And if you watch them at the same time, it works out great because one is a comedy and one is a drama. (Too much of either of them can leave you unbalanced. And we all know that a balanced TV diet is an important as a balanced breakfast, yes?)

Tina Fey is amazing and I can’t think of any reason you wouldn’t watch 30 Rock, unless you are intimidated by her genius. When Tina gets around to it, she’s going to call me up and we’re going to do awesome things like get Diet Coke and walk around the city. Wait, you don’t think that sounds amazing? Doing ANYTHING with Tina Fey probably ends up hilarious and cool. Even doing taxes. Not that I do taxes. (Kidding!)

Big Love is a show with a premise (polygamy – which I am against in every way) that even had me going ‘uh…pass’ – but it was the inclusion of two actresses from a TV show I love (Tina Majorino and Amanda Seyfried from Veronica Mars) that had me giving it a try. And I like it, I really, really liked it. The show is done very well, and you can enjoy the show even while you disagree with the whole polygamy thing. They’re not trying to make any converts with subliminal messaging, I promise.

And I don’t wanna get all six degrees of Kevin Bacon on you, but Tina Fey and Amanda Seyfried have a connection through the movie Mean Girls. So…yea.

If you’re still wondering what twitterpated is, you didn’t watch Bambi enough as a child.
