I'm actually less likely to see a movie or watch a show being hyped on MySpace or YouTube... ...because I just hate feeling like I'm being beaten over the head with something I might actually enjoy if they were just cooler about it. Plus, my job would be cancelled if we went down this road, and I just can't afford that. Agreed. I’m actually less likely to see a movie or watch a show being hyped on MySpace or YouTube…

I'd have to say that most of my knowledge of upcoming programming is from the network or local station, followed by the print media and blogs. Honestly, I can't say that I've ever sought-out a show because I saw a clip on YouTube and well, I don't have a MySpace. As I've said before, my wife would kill me.

It was a little trying the first season because you knew who was going to be the mother. "Homicide: Life on the Streets" started with the introduction with Det. Bayliss and it ended, when he was finished. Nevertheless, "How I Met Your Mother" is a good show, it's just plagued with time-slot problems. At the beginning of this season, it was preceded by that god-awful "The Class", then they moved it to the anchor slot at 8/7. Theoretically, the show could be an anchor, but I'd rather it come on at 8:30/7:30, so that I can watch it while I'm getting prepared for Kiefer. Thankfully, the latest episodes are also on Innertube, so though I don't have a TIVO, I can still watch it on demand. That “How I Met Your Mother” show is funny and it has an interesting concept.
