Charmed, I'm sure

So what is it that makes me like corny sci-fi/fantasy television so much?

I can only asume it goes back to the younger years, when my dad always watched Dr. Who on PBS and played both the record and the BBC movie of Hitchhiker's guide with great frequency.

Of course, he also played Opera and masterpiece theater, and I never really picked those up (yet).

I'm sitting here watching Charmed on a Friday afternoon...I don't get to watch it much because Briana thinks I watch it for the girls. But it's not that. I like Stargate SG-1, too (and I certainly don't have the hots for big dudes with weird things on their foreheads, or for McGuyver).

I think maybe it's the simple idea of good versus evil, and the fact that lots of science fiction plays out the way that good and evil can blur. Oh well. Commercial break's over.

I am with you on the cheesy SciFi, and I take it one step further: made-for-TV movies. Love 'em.

I also have a weakness for Bruce Campbell and Christopher Lambert. Someday they'll do a project together, and my heart will explode with bliss. Bliss!
