If anyone has followed our Festivus festivities for the last four years, you'll remember that
every year I ask for certain gifts to appear under my aluminum pole, and it never happens. So if I were to air any grievances this year, that would be it.
But 2009's a new year, so I have a new list of gripes and wishes that I hope get fulfilled in 2010:
- That I get the power to bend space and time. That's the only way I'll be able to watch and/or record the coming Monday slate: HIMYM, House, and Chuck will all be on at 8 PM. Maybe I need to wish for a couple of TiVo HD XLs to appear under my pole.
- Speaking of Chuck, I hope they follow up last year's bang-up finale with a great third season. And I hope people watch.
- That season two of Breaking Bad comes out on DVD soon so I can catch up in time for season three.
- That more people discover that Conan's actually doing a good job on The Tonight Show.
- That Comcast gives Jay Leno his own show... in daytime.
- Southland does better ratings on TNT than they ever would have on NBC.
- Continued laughs from rookie comedy sensations Modern Family and Community.
- Alison Brie's phone number.

If you're an
Ugly Betty fan, you might be wondering why ABC has been treating the show like a stepchild lately. I know I've wondered why the Peabody-award winning, Emmy-winning, universally hailed, feel-good show was getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop. Instead of a big, splashy Season 4 premiere,
Ugly Betty was sort plunked onto the schedule on Friday night at 9 p.m. in mid-October. There was little fanfare and the ratings were underwhelming.
Well, things might be changing for the better for
Betty -- like her gradual on screen makeover. With the
cancellation of Eastwick, ABC has confirmed to AfterElton.com that
Ugly Betty will move to Wednesday at 10 p.m. It won't happen right away, but if ABC is smart, the sooner they can shift
Eastwick out of that slot and hand it over the
Betty, the better.
