J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 5 – Best of 1999
Let’s celebrate the end of the decade by looking back at the end of the last. Here’s what I consider to be the high points of the 1999 television landscape.
First up we’ve got the growth of the Whedonverse. 1999 not only saw some of the best Buffy episodes (both Dopplegangland and Hush), but also the [...]
This Post Sucks
We here at JDB are big fans of both lists and holiday theme posts, so I figured I’d make up a list of my favourites of a monster type on TV. Saying as there aren’t a lot of werewolves or zombies and ghosts are lame, I went with the Vampyr. I even did my best [...]
Jerk’s TV Geeks V: The Ones That Didn’t Make It
To finish off this week of geekitude, here’s a look at some of the names that almost graced my list(s) but didn’t.
First up, the Lone Gunmen. I’m sure some of you were wondering how none of my lists could feature Langly, Byers, or Frohike. Unlike Jonathan, who I saw as separate and geekier than the [...]
Jerk’s Top TV Geeks IV: The Dork List
Ahhh Dorks, least common of the TV geeks. Once again, just my top five in no particular order:
1.) Sam Weir, Freaks and Geeks
The first Freaks and Geeks entry on the list. One thing that show did very well (besides fuckin’ rock) was portray geekery in a very realistic way. Sam was an incredibly Dorky character, [...]
Jerk’s Top TV Geeks II: The Geek List
A quick note before we start: these lists aren’t in any particular order, they’re just the five people I felt best fit my Geek definition. It took long enough to whittle down these lists, actually figuring out who is geekier than who would have been a bit much, I think.
1.) Dwight Schrute, The Office
Now some [...]
JDB's List-O-Shocking-Deaths, pt I
There’s not that much in the way of showness news popping up, and coming up with postness for older series we’re watching can be difficult, so to break up the monotomy of posts on the same half-dozen shows this summer, we decided some lists were in order.
So here’s the first of our looks at what [...]
Random Question #9
It’s been a while since wa had one of these (I mean a Random Question, not a post. Shhhhh), so I figured I’d take this idea for postness that’s been brewing in my head for a while and change it into an audience participation-type dealie.
Do you have a show where you know and follow the [...]
A Salute to TV Moms!
Here for Mother’s Day is our look at some of TV’s best moms!
Sarah Connor has to qualify even if she is pretty tough on John a lot of the time. Anyone who can raise the future savior of mankind has to be an awesome mom, even if they don’t have time-travelling killer robots and the [...]
Random Question #8
Are there any actors who you very strongly/somewhat illogically associate with a certain role?
Have you ever found this? Despite them having much larger or more important roles in other shows, they’re still always ____ to you? I find that I do this quite often (for example, Tom Lenk will always be Andrew to me. I [...]
Singing. And maybe some dancing, too.
This week’s new PG Porn (which can be seen here) got me thinking about musicals. Now first off, I’m a pretty big fan of musicals in general, but somehow combining them with shows always results in awesome. Bringing together porn and musical numbers resulted in what I think is hands-down the best PG Porn to [...]
