I was quite the fan of the TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” even going so far as to get satellite when they moved to UPN. I bought items off of eBay, pre-ordered DVDs for Amazon, and have a nightshirt with a picture of ‘Spike’ blazon across the front. After the decision that BtVS would not be coming back for an eighth season, my heart sank. While I had watched “Angel”, a spin-off of BtVS, it just was not the same. I guess I identified too much with the heroine, Buffy, to readily give my loyalty to “Angel”. I did like the interaction between Spike and Angel but I was not able fall in love with the show as I had BtVS. Perhaps it was too soon or the group dynamics didn’t work for me. I don’t know but anyway all I had left to watch after “Angel” went off the air was CSI which appeals to me in a totally different way being as it was mostly clinical with a handsome lead (William Peterson). While there have been other similar shows like BtVS I just have not be able get interested in them. It was very depressing time for me. Summer came and went; the fall season began with nothing to appeal to me. My staples were news shows and CSI. But that was about to change because my son was a fan of “Inuyasha”. I would walk through the living room for one reason or another, barely paying attention to what he was watching. I, for one, do not like to begin watching a show in the middle of a series because you miss so much in the setup of a show. My son requested that I record it on the DVR so that he could watch it later. I started watching these episodes out of boredom and found them interesting. “Inuyasha” reminded me of my earlier love for anime that I had drifted away from in the Nineties. I started paying attention to other anime like “Fullmetal Alchemist” and “Ghost in the Shell”. I realized that I had limited myself by not checking out channels that traditionally carried children programming. Now it seems that I don’t have enough time to watch all the shows that interests me but isn’t that the way it should be.
