This week's episode of Life was, start to finish, the tightest, best thing the show's done to date, and the kind of TV that's supposed to at least make Emmy shortlists across the board. If you've never watched Life, there's not an overabundance of character plot in this one, so it's a great place to start. It's also just some great TV that's worth the fourty-odd minutes of your time. Of course, Global doesn't stream it, and I can't get it from NBC because I have a Canadian IP address, so it'll take some time and discretion for you to find this in a legal way. Especially as the title of this episode is, "Badge Bunny", the nickname given to (adopted by?) women who have cop fetishes and are essentially groupies, hanging out at cop bars, dating cops, sleeping with cops, etc. So google "badge bunny" alone and your chances of porn or extreme creepiness are high. So be sure to toss the following information into your search query: Life episode 209 (standard online abbreviation for season 2 episode 9).
Ah, come on, just do it - the show will be dead soon, anyways. NBC just barely gave it the green light to complete the second season, and Global has moved its time slot from Fridays at 8 (we're not sure, but we'll give you a fighting chance) to Fridays at 10 (industry shorthand for, "screw you, show! We hate you!"). In the immortal words of Rahm Emanuel: Dead! Dead! Dead!
In other cancellation news, of the "neither great nor horrible show" variety, light-'n-fluffy occasional enjoyments Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone have been axed by ABC. Not cancelled, but axed - cut off, not allowed to finish a season, left dangling. Now that's just rude. Unless ABC is cooking the books, it's not like they have to chop a show in the middle of a story arc because they can't afford it. Or maybe, in the case of Eli Stone, all those George Michael appearances were starting to add up...
