Bones
My new favorite television show is Bones. I have been watching it on Hulu.com, which is how all TV will be viewed some day. Not on Hulu specifically, but on something similar. Hulu was nice enough to provide the entire 1st season of the show plus most all of the current season. Unfortunately, the 3rd season is not available and most of the 2nd season is missing as well – including the conclusion to the cliffhanger in the 14th episode. Clearly, they want me to purchase the DVD. I might have to. I really enjoy the character interactions on the show. It’s very well done – humorous without being silly, grotesque without stooping to gross.
I do wish I could see all the episodes online. I’ve decided that purchasing DVDs of television shows isn’t a wise expense. How many times will I actually watch those shows? Once would be enough so that I know the story. I don’t need that many repeat viewings. People must think of it not just as owning the shows but also “collecting” them like coins or stamps. I’ve ‘collected’ 4 seasons of Northern Exposure, but there are a handful of episodes I need to see more than once. I also have 3 seasons of CSI. Those shows are nice to have on when I’m bored.
Anyway, Bones seasons 2 and 3 are officially on my Christmas wish list.
