TV catch-up

I finally watched the finale of Kid Nation.

First of all, was anyone watching Kid Nation? I fear I'm on my own. I'm sad about that b/c there were definitely some moments not to be missed. Granted, they were few and far between, but gems nonetheless.

My favorite, perhaps, is when Taylor, the beauty queen brat who needs a lot more parenting, announces that ugly animals need to die:

Any scene with Alex or Jared. Brilliance.

The last episode, when the parents came to town, I admit, I cried. Then, when they awarded the $50K star to Morgan and her dad stood up and spoke, again I became verklempt.

I admit I only ever watched Kid Nation via DVR, usually weeks late, only after I'd watched everything else and mostly when I was also doing laundry, dishes and cooking dinner. But I'd go ahead and say it served a purpose even so. And if they manage to mount a season two I would venture to say I'd check it out in the same manner. Likely.

And then there's Friday Night Lights. All I really have to say about that is that Buddy Garrity is everything I love about west Texas all wrapped up in a man. Kinda like the beauty of the country wrapped up in a bird. Only different. While similar.
