I was doing just fine without cable movie channels.

When gas hit the roof last year, I cut all those extra channels and decided I could wait, rent the seasons I missed or catch them on the Internet. But the new season of Weeds on Showtime has lured me back, so I can get plugged back into Nancy the Hemptress. And, of course, Dexter returns, soon, too.

I tried. I really tried.

The Onion reveals what's really bringing Obama down: The end of BSG.

WASHINGTON—According to sources in the White House, President Barack Obama has been uncharacteristically distant and withdrawn ever since last month's two-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica.

"The president seems to be someplace else lately," said one high-level official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Yesterday we were all being briefed on the encroachment of Iranian drone planes into Iraq, when he just looked up from the table and blurted out, 'What am I supposed to watch on Fridays at 10 p.m. now? Numb3rs?'"

"I'm a little concerned," first lady Michelle Obama was overheard saying at a fundraising event Tuesday. "When Firefly was canceled, he walked around like a zombie for a week, and Serenity was the only thing that snapped him out of it. Last night he said he felt like he had just discovered David Axelrod was one of the Final Five, whatever that means."
