It’s All Geek to Me

Well, I can be happy about one thing on this overcast Friday in Seattle: I’m not a TV geek. At least not according to TV Squad. From contributor Paul Goebel’s list of “10 Things You Need to Be a TV Geek,” I can claim a paltry one. Well, maybe two, if--under the heading of “A Videotape Filled With Episodes of a Show That Only You Enjoy” you count Bill Bixby’s The Magician or 1975’s Ellery Queen, starring Jim Hutton and David Wayne. But I don’t think you should. On the other hand, I have to confess that my musical library contains a couple of the Television’s Greatest Hits CDs, for as Goebel writes, “There is nothing like driving in your car listening to the theme from Mannix” (or The Mod Squad, or Miami Vice, or ...).
