If Only More TV Characters Were Bloggers
Stephen Baker of Blogspotting pointed out today that Dwight Schrute has a blog. For those of you who don't know Dwight, he's a character on the NBC comedy The Office. It's pretty funny stuff, but as Baker notes, it would be funnier if the studio execs would let Dwight and other TV characters have blogs that could go in any direction, independent of the main story line on the show, and interact with the rest of the blogosphere.
How great would it be more TV characters had their own blogs? (Preferably the actors themselves, that is - blogging in character, rather than a committee of staff writers.)
Just to get things started, here are some TV characters I'd like to see blogging.
Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Anyone who watches this show knows that Larry is one of the most self-absorbed, insensitive characters on television. And that's just when he opens his mouth. Imagine what's really going on in his head?
Horatio Caine of CSI Miami. A control-freak if there ever were one, Horatio would no doubt moderate his comment threads with an iron fist. "Now here's what I want you to blog about, ma'am..."
AJ Soprano of The Sopranos. Don't tell me that AJ doesn't have a blog on MySpace.com.
Sol Star of Deadwood. The most thoughtful and introspective character on Deadwood, Sol only talks when he has something important to say. Yeah, I know, it takes place in 1870. That doesn't mean the guy can't keep a diary for God's sake. Sheesh....
Cassidy Mackey of The Shield. She's gotta know her dad's corrupt.
John Munch of Law & Order: SVU (and half a dozen other shows). John's got an opinion - and a conspiracy theory - for everything.
Randal Pinkett of The Apprentice. Oh, wait a sec.
Paula Abdul of American Idol. Corey Clark is so dreamy.
I wonder who would be on their blogroll? -andy
