There've been an awful lot of drug references here lately.

Coincidental, I assure you.

Nevertheless, here’s one more:

The hilarious Orlando Weekly’s Wm.Steven Humphrey has the most refershingly upbeat and positive take on the Fall TV season I’ve seen yet, in his recent I Love Television column titled, “LET’S HEAR IT FOR VICODIN”.

I’m going to copy/paste at length because I’ve had wacky linking problems to their site when a story gets archived and I’m just too lazy to try and figure out if the problem has been solved.

“LET’S HEAR IT FOR VICODIN”

Screw television. I’m renaming this column I [heart] Vicodin. Normally, I’m not a big fan of dental work – but if it inspires my dentist to ladle out bottles and bottles of these wonderful pills? Sign me up for root canals for the rest of the year!

You know, a lot of people complain about Vicodin, crying, “Wah! Wah! Because of Vicodin, my wife left me!” or, “Wah! Wah! Because of Vicodin, I lost my job!” But so far it’s done nothing but help my career. As it turns out, a couple Vicodin and a tumbler of vodka makes this new season of TV shows not only bearable but hella freakin’ AWESOME! The new season of Joey? LOVE IT. Two thumbs up! That new reality show where Christian singer Amy Grant gives poor people three wishes? IT GAVE ME A BONER. Kudos to you, Amy Grant – and your generous pal, Jesus Christ. Before Vicodin came along, I thought both of you were full of shit!

But anyhoo, the first week of October BLOWS when it comes to television. All the best shows have already debuted, and it’s the last week of normal television before the baseball playoffs come along and ruin everything! But lucky for me, I have a nice big bottle of Vicodin standing at the ready, which will magically transport me to a colorful, happy land where the following new shows won’t suck hippo dick.

Speaking of shows that can only be improved with the ingestion of vicodin, I see that after 3 eps Bones is on hiatus until November 1st. I miss it already.
