the greatest television watching experience of my life

Wow.
Wow.
And again wow.
So I just finished up season 1 of Heroes and I am absolutely blown away by how good that was.
If you know me at all - you know that for me to write what I did in the title - it took a lot. But I honestly think that this show just knocked off the amazingness of Jack Bauer and the 1st season of 24.
It just had so much.
I will forever love 24 - but there is only so much that can be done within that theme or framework.
But with Heroes - it was unreal the directions they were able to go.
And I didn't feel like there was one bad episode. Or an episode used to simply further the plot. Every single one played out like a summer blockbuster. I know that sounds over-the-top - but it's the truth.
And while part of me wishes I had discovered the show sooner - another part realizes it's probably a good thing I didn't, because I honestly would have gone crazy if I had to wait a week between episodes.
Wow. Very much worth checking out that is.
Dramatic. Intense. Touching. Inspiring.

Up next on the tv front? Lost. Maybe Prisonbreak. Or maybe an altogether break - because I don't think anything is going to touch this high for a little while.
Save the cheerleader.
Save the world.
So good.
