When the Daily Show is Even Better than It Should Be…

I’ve been watching the Daily Show since before Jon Stewart started hosting it.  Since his time at the show, it’s been turned into one of the wittiest, sharpest, and most critical “comedy” shows today.  But one of last week’s shows was a highwater mark in intelligence and risk taking, with its introduction of Aasif Mandvi, the show’s Muslim correspondent.  Watch and see some of the edgiest satire I’ve seen.

Netflix: Or The Joy of Being Late to the Party

Having a continually changing schedule means not always being able to watch the TV shows that we should.  The DVR helps, but Netflix is a life saver.

It was through Netflix that we got hooked on Alias, and this summer is season one of Veronica Mars.  The marathon viewings of the DVDs means that we are quickly catching up on year one’s mystery.  So while we are late to the party, the DVDs mean that we don’t have to wait every week to catch up with Ms. Mars.  But we aren’t contributing to the viewership of the show, which would help keep it on the air. We’ll work on that when the show returns to The CW .

Now we just have to wait for the rest of the DVDs to arrive. Come on postman.
