The fall television season has me wondering if there is really anything left to be seen on TV. I have tried hard to muster up the courage to do my annual as seen on TV reviews but I've been lulled into a stupor and have not quite found a way out until now.

Being bored to death was not all that fun until the new season of Bored To Death actually started on HBO. I had totally forgotten about this silly show when I planned out this years as seen on TV reviews but I'm so glad Direct TV accepts credit cards right over the phone because I had no service literally an hour from show time.

Bored is in its 3rd season and although it is eclectic and every other word in the dictionary that means something like eclectic, this show is one of the best comedies to air in years. Jonathon Ames wrote the show and cast Jason Schwartzman as his self modeled writer slash private detective in New York City who has been mentored by a pot head out of touch magazine publisher and paired up with cartoonist slash Super Ray played by Zack Galifiniakis, his best friend, to muttle through life together while ending up in the most peculiar situations imaginable.

The first two seasons played just like the run-on sentence above and if you don't understand the sentence, then you won't get the show. It's a pity though because the show is brilliant and aimed at an intelligent, but far less brilliant audience. I fit right in there somewhere and find myself fascinated by the stories and the acting is superb. Real life does not play well on prime time network comedies and the little bits of risque kookiness of the plot lines make it all the more enjoyable.
