I don't watch a huge amount of TV.
But I do like me some Adventure Time.
Edit: No embedding for this one, linky here.
Also did anyone see that they have started making an Atlas Shrugged film adaptation (the first part of three is out)? I'm not sure if I'll watch them or not. I read the novel, and whereas I don't agree with Rand's philosophy, it was well written and interesting enough... but ye gods was it long. It took me like three months to finish it. It never takes me that long to finish a book. And there was a fifty-page monologue (maybe more) towards the end that's supposed to be two hours long in-universe. I'm guessing they'll cut that from the films.
I don't know how well it will translate into film, though. It's been a while since I've read it, but I seem to recall that quite a few of the conversations tended to become a kind of back and forth of monologues extolling the virtues of Objectivism. Apparently the intellectual elite are a long-winded bunch.
