Due to circumstances I cannot explain, this will be the final post ever at mikeo… who am I kidding? I can’t even type it with a straight face. No April Fool’s jokes here: too many awesome things happening in the world.

Beginning with TV, sweet TV.

Did you watch last night’s premiere episode of CNN’s The Eighties? Brought to you by the same folks who brought us The Sixties and The Seventies (see a pattern?), The Eighties is perhaps even more enjoyable for me because it’s the first one of these decades I actually remember. Last night’s episode, as went the previous two series, focused on the impact of television, featuring a few shows and events I actually remember watching. It’s two hours of your time very well spent, and CNN will show it a thousand more times in case you missed it.

Ditto Archer on FX, the network which is fast becoming my favorite cable channel. Last night was the Season Seven (can you believe it?) premiere of the show that generally does everything right as far as what should happen on a cable spy program shown post-family hour. I realize Archer’s not for everybody, but if you can handle it do yourself a favor and please do so.

More reasons to keep on living.
