I’ve never read the book, but the jPod formatted to fit my television screen is awesome.

Our heroes are twenty-something game developers thrown together by a computer glitch, and together they combine to make, well, a double-plus geek friendly dramedy, anyway. That is not nothing!

5 other prizes contained inside:

- Geeky internet jokes.
- Geeky *coding* jokes.
- The epic bromance between Jim Jarlewski, middle aged family man, and Kam Fong, Chinese mafia don. Two men with nothing in common save their love for dancing with each other! ...Occasionally while wearing Nazi uniforms.
- Lesbians. With guns!
- Mother & son bonding over hiding dead bodies! What is family *for*?

It’s also a show with its mind firmly, deeply in the gutter, but, y’know, I know you guys. Vagina-shaped playgrounds and vibrating underpants and people getting accidentally stranded at an orgy aren’t going to scare you away.

(Unlike, say, my mom. Although I think she was *actually* put off at how we compared her to a pot-growing gun-nut who kept accidentally killing people. I guess that is enough to cause offense for *some folks*, even if *some folks* are the only ones in the family with training in the (safe and effective) use of weapons. I mean. Come on, Mom! You mean you *haven't* ever wanted to run away from us all and join a lesbian commune?

The moral: some analogies are better kept inside your head. Or maybe: do not watch tv with your mom.)

In conclusion! A clip added for the sole purpose of winning hradzka over!



If you can pass yourself off as Canadian, the whole series is online at the CBC site. (Neener neener, Hulu.com watchers. Neener neener, I say.)

ETA: Oh, or I guess you could watch it online at theWB.com. What*ev*er.

CBC screwed up tonight and showed the season finale of jPod instead of the penultimate episode as they were supposed to. Luckily they've put the proper one online already, so I'm not too badly injured, but. That's it. It's over, guys. No more jPod.

I feel so empty.

I had a Grand Theft Segway joke to go here, but I'm not in the mood anymore.
