A couple television updates. Now, I'm not a tube freak, but there are a couple shows I try to stay up to date with.

First of all, this week featured the season finalé of Veronica Mars. I like this show because the writing is a lot like shows produced by Joss Whedon such as Buffy and Angel. In fact, I've heard a lot of people compare Veronica Mars to Buffy saying it's just like Buffy only without all the martial arts fighting and the supernatural. For those of you who have always thought Buffy was nothing more than supernatural story lines and kung fu... well, oh well.

Good finalé. Very good.

Next, this last Monday was the premiere of talk-radio host Glenn Beck's new television show titled, uhm, "Glenn Beck" on CNN's Headline News network. This is obviously a move on CNN's part to recapture some of the viewership share they've lost to Fox News.

I enjoy Glenn Beck a lot. He's smart. He's funny. He's self-deprecating. He's politically incorrect. He's conservative. He's also LDS. Hell, he's a lot like me!

Anyway- I've been watching his TV show- three nights now. He's on Headline News at 7 p.m., 9 p.m., and Midnight (Eastern time) every weeknight.

What cracks me up is the incredibly tight-ass, anal-retentive liberal media reviews of the show written by people who have absolutely no sense of humor and must be incredibly easily offended by Glenn's irreverance.

For example, in an article on MediaMatters.org, we read that on his TV show Glenn "suggested, using a visual aid, that an appropriate punishment for convicted 9-11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui would be having sexual relations with syndicated columnist Helen Thomas and actress Bea Arthur 'while David Hasselhoff sings.'"

Well, I thought it was funny.
