All Adam wants for Festivus

Christ, I had to do one of these "All I Want for Festivus" posts last year and I couldn't think of anything to write about back then, either.

Here's the thing: I'm pretty content when it comes to what television offers these days, and now that so many television shows are being offered through iTunes and for free online, it's easier than ever to ignore what I don't like and just enjoy what I want.

I suppose I could say I want all reality programming taken off the air, but why spoil it for other people just because I don't want to watch individuals I don't care about scramble for that moment in the spotlight that somehow, in their mind, vindicates their entire existence? If I wanted to watch sad, deluded people I'd hang out in the waiting room of any plastic surgeon's office.

Okay, here's a wish: I wish Adult Swim would re-air the very first episode of Perfect Hair Forever. I have all six of the episodes on DVD-R, but the first couple minutes of the first episode was cut off. So, just for me, Adult Swim, could you show that one episode again? Me would love you long time.

Also, a DVD set of the first and only season of 12 Oz Mouse would be nice. After dismissing the show early on, I finally came around and became a devoted follower of Fritz the drunken mouse. I loved tuning back in each week to see where the story was going, but I couldn't always keep track of everything that had happened, what with the surreal setting and more twists in the plot than a sourdough pretzel. I think it would be better to watch the episodes back to back, rather than waiting a week between each of them.

Finally, assuming that I can wish for anything, regardless of whether it's realistic or not, I'd love to see every TV show also shown for free online. I know many have already done this, but it's becoming more and more clear that "TV" no longer just refers to that box in your living room. There are new ways to deliver content, and more networks should not only be taking advantage of it, but making it as easy as possible for viewers to see the shows they love online. YouTube proved that people not only want free content, they want it as accessible as possible.
