Welcome to the Hype Republic

I am an avid consumer of entertainment.  Seriously, AVID.  So I've decided to turn my thoughts and musings on these things that entertain me so into a blog.  Mostly because I spend so much time on the damn internet, I might as well jump on the bandwagon and give everyone a chance to read my unwanted and weightless opinion.  That being said, I hope you enjoy my ramblings.

To start off with, there are a few things I'd like to address:

1. I'd like to say goodbye to Nine Inch Nails.  They played their last show on Sep 10, 2009 and I wish them all the best.

2. Disney buying Marvel is not a bad thing...as long as the Disney board takes the same approach to Marvel's business that they do with Pixar.

3. Dancing With The Stars is a wound on the face of your television.  It's bleeding on the carpet and you need to turn it off before the dog gets to close to the crimson pool.

Fall TV has finally arrived and thank fucking god.  Summer TV is just so massively boring.  I always start craving new material in late August, after the last of the decent summer movies comes out.  I've been putting together my schedule of shows for the fall and unfortunately, my inability to possess a DVR with dual tuners (hopefully I'll have that situation resolved by early November, just in time for V on ABC) is going to keep me from watching a few shows I'm interested in when they air.  So here is the list of shows I'll be blogging about over the next few months.

The Simpsons
The Cleveland Show
Family Guy
Bored To Death
Dexter
Heroes
Trauma
V
Sons of Anarchy (fav show last season)
Modern Family
FlashForward
Supernatural (gets better every year)
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Dollhouse
Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I'm also going to keep up with Fringe, 30 Rock, The Office, Stargate Universe, and Southland but I'll have to watch them on Hulu over the weekends.  So I may do some quick, weekend roundup type post for them.

If this blog turns out to be interesting, successful, and warranted, I'll get neck deep in it when Scrubs, Chuck, and 24 start in 2010.  I will warn anyone who starts to care about this blog that once LOST starts, I'll probably be posting about that a lot since it just so happens to be my favorite show and this is the final season.

But wait, foul, you cry!  Why only TV shows?  I thought this was an entertainment blog?  Well, IT IS.  So in that spirit, I'll also be posting about movies, comics, and video games as they come across my eyes.  I might get into music a little but I don't put all that much energy into following the scene.

Musings to look forward to in the next week:
Sons of Anarchy episodes 1 & 2
Supernatural
Maybe a review of the video games WET and X-Men Origins: Wolverine
