A Man Behind the Times

No matter how hard I try to be hip and cool, when it comes to TV shows, I'm destined to be the last to know about the best new TV shows. Take the X-Files for example. I knew they existed way back in 1995 during their first few seasons. However it took me until 2002 to realize how awesome they are (just be sure to watch them in order).

Then there is Malcolm in the Middle. I hated this show when it first came out because it pushed Futurama out of a prime time slot. Now I think it is the best show on television, albeit the new shows are a little past their prime.

And then my latest discovery, Freaks and Geeks. This was a very short lived TV show on NBC between 1999 and 2000. There were only 18 episodes made, but damn they're funny! The similarly short-lived TV show Undeclared featured many of the same actors, and was also incredibly funny.

All these great shows that were going on while I was blissfully ignorant... it kind of makes me wonder what's out there now? I don't think there is anything very good out there, My Name is Earl and the Family Guy have been suggested by others, but I haven't found them but mildly amusing.

So for now I wait for the next big thing to get old, boldly trudging forward in my ignorant bliss.
