Which Television Show Should I Watch?
Dear Reckonauts,
The combination of the holidays and a rash of cancellations has caused my DVR to look like a barren wasteland. I need a new show to watch, and you're going to pick it for me. I've narrowed it down to:
Bored To Death
The guy from Rushmore (and the band that sang "California") stars as a writer who moonlights as a private eye. Whacky hijinks ensue.
Six Feet Under
The guy from Sports Night and the guy from Dexter run a funeral home. Whacky hijinks do not ensue.
Choose wisely. I'll watch the first episode the day this Reckoning closes.

WINNER!

I've never been a great Six Feet Under fan. It's a show that took itself incredibly sincerely in an ironic way -- and if you find that phrase insufferable, just imagine what the show itself was like. It does have some great dramatic moments, but there were quite a few instances where I wanted to punch the screen to fully express my anger at it.
Bored to Death is fun. And it's got Danson! The Dansonage is what tips the scale.
Though I have never seen Six Feet Under, I am a big Dexter fan and anything with Michael Hall in it will make me watch ....
