13
Nov 09Five for Friday, November 13.
Oh my goodness, it is Friday the 13th. It’s also Caroline‘s birthday. Anyway, here are five things that I’ve been watching in the new age of high-definition DVR:
- Californication. I’ve only watched a few episodes, but it’s growing on me. I get to enjoy Duchovny’s droll insouciance without the X-Files craziness that scares the crap out of me.
- It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I’ve really been meaning to watch this show for a long time, but I kept forgetting. Now I never have to remember when it’s on.
- Showtime in general. I didn’t expect much from movie channels, but when they have Wall-E on repeat? They got me for these three free months, at least.
- Mythbusters. Not really new, but high-speed explosion shots in HD are outstanding.
- Sports. Again, not a new thing, but the switch to HD is stunning. I even watched some of the playoffs, which I hadn’t done regularly in years.

Californication is growing on me too, and I already love Sunny (but their Christmas special is really weak, aside from a couple of scenes).
I don’t know if you check out any other Showtime shows, but Dexter and Weeds are two more great shows they’ve got. Weeds is between seasons right now and Dexter is 6 episodes into its 4th season.
Hooray for television in HD!
