Turkey TV

The holidays always generate interesting viewing patterns. For Halloween, there are the special Simpsons episodes, the Charlie Brown pumpkin movie, and a few weak plotlines based on corny costumes. For thanksgiving, there's the essential Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast which most people prefer to turn on as non-controversial background for their thanksgiving preparations. i however, am preparing to go see it in person. i know this will be a pain on a a cold and drizzly november morning when i could be warm and near a warm turkey. but the draw of seeing something live that i've only ever seen through the TV screen is irresistible. and that's what is so interesting about tv. you want to verify- you want to see with your own eyes, and somehow claim the magic of TV, transcend that barrier. 
it's like when I saw Kristin Davis. She actually exists as a real person!

now to the heroes review. the only reason im still watching is KB. she also seems to be the only one having any fun at all. everyone stumbles around over acting and dripping with melodrama. and why doesnt anyone ever die!?!?
