shadowkat: (Tv shows)
Flipped through my Annotated Grimm Fair Tales and this episode is interesting/fascinating actually from a meta perspective. In some respects "Once Upon a Time"'s version is closer to the Grimm version, while Disney's cartoon is closer to the Perrault Version. But in other's...it's something entirely new.

Variations on Cinderella... )

Very creative re-telling of an ancient tale, merging it with other tales, and addressing new issues - such as children, and time. We are in control of our destiny, but not in control of time. All the characters are at the mercy of time.

Read most of my flist - or as far back as I could manage. Saw quite a few political posts, so clearly I'm not the only one who is struggling with politics at the moment, but methinks it is time I drifted away from it and focused on well, more, fun things like the upcoming fall TV season.

I swiped this idea from one of the people on my flist. So it's not original.

First things first: Summer TV List )

Here's my tentative DVR list, I'm going to wait for True Blood, Dexter, and Weeds to come out in DVD via Netflix, because I really can't afford Showtime and HBO at the moment. Nor do I have the time to watch them. As you'll see, I'm watching enough bloody tv as it is. Show's that I'm either looking forward to the most or consider can't miss are in bold. Others are fun/guilty pleasures that I don't mind missing that much. Note, while I have incredibly ecletic taste, I tend to drift more towards serial drama or dramedy's and am really not into situation comedies, reality shows or procedurals with minor exceptions. I miss the situation comedies of my youth - Bewitched, MASH, Cheers, Frazier, Night Court, News Radio, Caroline in the City, Murphy Brown, Mary Tyler Moore...even if I saw a good portion of them in reruns.

cut for length and potential embarrassement quotia - mine, not yours, which means chances of being deleted sometime tomorrow when I come to my senses are about 10-1. )
