The Week in Review: TV Haiku

Wed, Nov 14, 2007     Posted by Marcia

Miscellaneous

One busy weekend, and already it feels like I will never catch up again. Well, not until January, at least, when I will suddenly have to sit through old episodes of The Cosby Show or TJ Hooker in order to find something to write about. There’s something to look forward to.

In order to save time, allow me to distill the essence of the past week’s television into its purest form, the haiku.

Heroes
Heroes showed promise
Monroe and shirtless Peter
Can save my world.

Ugly Betty
Shocking twists! And yet
I was most surprised to learn
Posh can’t act. Who knew?

Dexter
I’m a bit worried.
When psychopaths lose control
It’s not a good thing.

Grey’s Anatomy
Chemistry, my ass.
Could a scientist explain
why I’m still watching?

Chuck
Its best show so far,
Which means a cancellation
Will shortly follow.

Friday Night Lights
I’ve only got love.
I’d marry this show today
If it would have me.

Prison Break and Supernatural are still waiting on my hard drive for another night, but it’s your turn now. Do you have your own 5-7-5 review of these shows or any others?

    My attempt is lame, but this is quite fun. Also, possible spoilers for Prison Break. :)

    Michael takes shirt off
    Escape dashed yet again, double cross!
    Must now live in box?

    Is that a true Haiku? My poetry sucks.

  2. Carrie Says:

    Damn, my second line doesn’t fit. Oh well…take out the yet.

  3. Jess Says:

    I am still annoyed
    The ‘plus-sized’ girl got kicked out
    Of ANTP.

  4. Kyle Says:

    Curse you, Jeopardy.
    Celebrity Week sucks hard,
    And you never call.

    O Venture Brothers!
    Somehow I got invested.
    Please to make more eps.

    Also, I feel like starting some kind of pool for when and how Peter ends up shirtless next time. They set his shirt on fire! I laughed out loud!

  5. Carrie Says:

    Just watched Heroes. Must say it is getting better. Must attempt to rectify my previous failed attempt:

    Peter wears bad wig
    Veronica Mars shows up
    She is annoying

    Disappointed in K Bell. Her sickly squeaky voice is very grating. Too perky.

  6. Stellanova Says:

    Pushing Daisies

    It’s far too cutesy
    And affected. Yet I can’t
    Help enjoying it

  7. Stellanova Says:

    30 Rock

    Funniest show in
    The world. Liz Lemon made poor
    Griz and Dot-Com cry!

  8. Jess Says:

    Why can’t I stop watch
    -ing bad anthropology
    Like ‘Love Trap’ last night?

  9. Steph Says:

    House…

    Hugh Laurie rules all,
    the supporting cast is huge,
    Chase needs a haircut.
