Internet!

[skysnolimit]

I just came back from the land of slow and restricted Internet (in this case, China), and I never knew I was such a screen-fanatic until now.  I can't stop surfing the Internet and watching television.  I don't even feel guilty for doing it; I simply feel like gorging on technology since I've been deprived of super-large quantities of stimulating information for far too long!!!

One of my late discoveries has been Sherlock, the one where each episode is two hours long.  For the first time in my life, I think I'm somewhat infatuated with a male television icon.  He's awesome!  In terms of women, I've long had a girl-crush on Xena (Warrior Princess) and I've been binge-ing on those episodes too lately.  But the replay value of Sherlock is impressive and very incredible to me (I usually don't re-watch or re-read things).

I'm shocked that people have produced a show so clever, unpredictable, and flawlessly filmed (in my opinion).  Hobbity Dr. Watson is adorable too.  I love the quality of every episode (as opposed to the kind of quality I'm used to in weekly-aired one-hour shows).  Are there other shows of comparable consistent wit out there?  What shows do other people love?

Does anybody else have a new or old favorite TV show that inspires them in daily life?  (okay, that's still mostly Xena for me )
