Here are some quick thoughts based on the first six episodes.
I almost can’t believe I’m saying this… but if you haven’t started watching this show yet, you should. Here’s some hulu for you: http://www.hulu.com/dont-trust-the-b-in-apt-23
I recommend starting on episode five. The first four episodes have some funny parts but overall they are far inferior to the latest two episodes.
As promised, my thoughts on the reunion show!
I’m looking forward to next season, I will try to remember and do my video reviews from the very beginning with predictions and whatever other fun stuff I can think of. Let’s all cross our fingers for a much more interesting and entertaining season in the Philippines!
Here are some thoughts on tonight’s finale. I haven’t watched the reunion yet, so this is about everything up to the announcement of this season’s winner.
Not much to add off the top of my head, stay tuned for a review of the reunion show!

Television Today is Awesome
I’m tired of the argument that television is terrible compared to what it used to be. I couldn’t disagree more. There are too many awesome TV series for me to even stay caught up on and I watch a hell of a lot of TV. Someone who watches significantly less TV than I do is sure to be able to fill their tight watching schedule with some amazing productions.
Sure there continues to be more singing/dancing/crying “reality” shows each season, but that’s because so many people tune in. Not that all reality shows are terrible, I enjoy the hell out of a lot them. Top Shot, Amazing Race, Survivor and the Apprentice are some of my favorites. I would classify those as game shows though… That’s a whole other discussion that I might get into at a later date.
There are a number of great network shows, the premium cable channels produce high quality stuff, and now basic cable channels like FX, AMC, Syfy, USA and TNT are setting new standards for the medium. Remember when original cable series consisted of stuff like Mortal Kombat: Konquest? Now we have Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Justified, Falling Skies, Psych, Mad Men… the list goes on.
If there’s anything bad about television today it’s that there is too much of it. The excellent shows are spread wide and far across the schedule. Sure that would have been a huge problem 20 years ago but it really isn’t today. We have DVR, Tivo, Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon… There are so many ways to find and watch great television. Even the classic series some yearn for are right at our fingertips!
There may be a ton of junk on the airwaves but it has never been easier to find something better to watch.
