Reunion Redux
So Fox finally cancelled Reunion, as I accurately predicted in October. This post generated a lot of criticism, but I think my comments were vindicated by the fact that not enough people were watching for Fox to keep it going. Eat crow, flamers!
My favorite comment (aside from the person who inexplicably concluded that I must be a callous person) was this one:
“How can you think Reunion is terrible?! It’s probably one of the best shows out there. I don’t think anyone agrees with you.”Um, nobody agrees with me? Fox has really made a terrible mistake then, haven’t they? Of course, hardly anybody cares about the show, so maybe they just haven’t taken the time to agree.
Ironically, I actually thought the show was getting more bearable. I even enjoyed a few episodes! I wasn’t really upset that it is cancelled, but I didn’t hate it as much as I should have.
I think the sports guy summed it up best, during a plea to keep the show around, when he predicted the following would happen if Fox showed a Reunion marathon one weekend:
“[People will] watch the first [episode], think it’s terrible, vow to stop watching it, then inexplicably keep watching. By the third show, not only will they be hooked, they’ll feel like an idiot for being hooked. But they’ll keep watching.” -
More Taylor Townsend
Actually, less Taylor Townsend. No Taylor, no good times on The O.C.
Tonight’s episode was horrible… That whole Seth-Summer competition thing? Bor-ing… Bring back Taylor!

Taylor Townsend
As someone not famous once said, “If loving Taylor Townsend is wrong, I don’t want to be right.”

Would You Rather: Pork or Poultry?
Today’s “would you rather” question: Would you rather completely give up pork or poultry?
At first, I thought that giving up pork was the easy choice, because I eat poultry almost every day. Turkey sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, chicken breast, chicken cutlet, etc. Poultry is great.
The more I think about it, however, I realize that poultry, with few exceptions, produces pedestrian meals. Sure, I’ve had some great turkey sandwiches every now and again, but for the most part they are usually run of the mill. Pork, on the other hand, is transcendant far more often: pulled pork barbeque, for example, can linger for weeks. Italian pulled pork or roast pork, Philly-style, gives the cheesesteak a run for its money every day of the week. And, that’s not even to mention sausage and BACON. As Emeril says, pork fat rules.
Looking at it again, it is a pretty simple choice, actually. Bye Bye Poultry! (I would sure miss Thanksgiving though.)
