Not Watching Community

A show I'm not interested in watching is a new one called Community. The ads for it don't interest me in the least.

First of all, it's set in a community college. My gut tells me, ridiculing the students is the thrust of the show.

Secondly, Chevy Chase, Mr. I-Want-Tina-Fey-To-Decimate-Sarah-Palin, is one of the stars of the show.

You know, maybe it's a great, well-written, funny show. I don't care. Maybe I'm paranoid, but after all of the mockery Sarah Palin endured for having a non-elite education, I can't help thinking that the show is an attempt to jab her.

Did I mention that I attended a community college for 2 years?

Watching Castle

I haven't been able to watch the new season of Castle on TV, so I've been catching up watching episodes on the computer. It's a fun detective show. The male lead character is Richard Castle. He's a famous mystery writer who recently killed off his popular main character. Needing inspiration, he starts tagging along with Detective Kate Beckett. He's so impressed with her work, that he decides to base a new character on Beckett - Nikki Heat.

As show logistics would have it, Castle is a friend of the mayor. He's able to convince the mayor that he needs to continue tagging along with Beckett, so she's forced to let him stick with her. So, along with the mystery of the week, we have some nice chemistry between the leads.

I recently discovered that there's an actual book, Heat Wave, penned by 'Richard Castle', starring Nikki Heat. It hasn't turned up in our library system yet, but I'm anxious to read it.
