When television turns into audiovision

How ironic is it that I rediscover my love for Everwood all over again when the show was about to have its series finale in the US? Screw you, CW and Dawn Ostroff. And a special 'eff you' to Brenda Hampton's train wreck 7th Heaven (or 7th Hell, if you prefer that) that is responsible for Everwood being killed. No more Bright, Ephram, Amy, Andy or Edna. And no more Colin, but perhaps that doesn't count seeing as he's been gone for the past three years. Still. I miss him.
I'm so getting the s1 DVDs when I get home (Colin! Did I mention I miss him?). And excuse me for a second while I yell at Amazon - who really have no responsibility whatsoever but are easy to blame when I don't know who else to yell at - for not having seasons 2-3 available.

Like I mentioned on here a long time ago I never listen to the radio. Subsequently, I 'find' my music in other ways, mainly by listening hard when I hear something I like on the TV. And thanks to Everwood (and TWoP) I discovered one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, which has been playing non-stop on my iTunes ever since I found it. Jump, Little Children - Cathedrals. Seriously, I can't stop playing it. You, go buy it on iTunes, or buy the CD (Magazine) or something - I don't care how you get it, just get it.

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is


I love falling in love with songs. This one is going to stay with me for a very long time.
Thinking of the scene it was used in just adds to the whole feeling of it.

It's too warm to be outside. I'm just going to sit here by the computer until I'm heading into town for the graduation.
Maybe I'll listen to Cathedrals again while waiting.
I think I probably will.

That same thing happened to me with "Project Runway" last season. Went all that time without watching it, then BOOM, it sucked me in just as the last two episodes were shown. The same went for "America's Next Top Chef". Damn that Bravo network!
