12/30 Sleepy Hollow

[darkemeralds]

I just...

I'm sitting here watching "Sleepy Hollow," grinning at the ridiculous goodness and badness of it. It's like...so probably going to be cancelled but might catch fire. It's indescribable, but it has American legend + Apocalypse + a little bit of Clancy Brown + a very appealing lead woman of color + stupid fish-out-of-water time-travel jokes + you know, Headless Horseman. Of the Apocalypse.

And this one guy with a really beautiful nose playing Ichabod Crane. I mean. Sleepy Hollow. I think it might be love. Ridiculous, ill-advised love.

Oh cool! I honestly couldn't get a feel for whether it was "hit" or "miss" but if it's getting good grades online, maybe I'll invest.

Who am I kidding? I'm going to watch every episode they make.

Every episode they *broadcast*--I'm still mad that they never burned off the rest of the episodes of The Playboy Club, and there's no DVD, so I will never get to see either two or three episodes of Lesbian Bunny Goodness with Bonus Sean Maher.

I absolutely can't understand why any network or studio, in today's world, would not make all finished content available. What do they do? Delete the files? I mean, there's profit to be made! Put them on Netflix streaming and Hulu, at least.

I just found out that "Sleepy Hollow" is on Fox. I can only hope that the network will treat it they way they treated Fringe, and not the way they treated, you know, most other shows I've loved.

The traditional BBC "record over the tape" strategy?

For years, I've seen comments every new season: "Yeah, That Thing sounds cool, but I'm not even going to bother watching it because it's on Fox so they're just going to kick me AGAIN."

Yeah. I must admit my heart sank when someone pointed out that this vastly entertaining new show is on Fox.

Damn, the network must know it has that effect.
