Year: 2007

Happy Birthday, The Medium is Not Enough. Yes, two years ago (sort of, subject to blog migration, blog splitting, blog reunions, etc), this blog emerged into the light of the Internet with its first two posts: a preview of the still-popular Prison Break, the not-unpopular Supernatural and the still-unseen Global Frequency; and tedious cruft about The Omega Factor (which I’m still just about to write a review of, amazingly enough).

Oddly enough, that paragraph, more or less, was how I greeted the blog’s first birthday and it’s still true. Plus ça change…

In our second year, what have I discovered?

1. Y’all are still kind of interested in David Tennant and Doctor Who, but less by Torchwood
2. Time may march on but before, during and after every episode of The F-Word, everyone will be dying to know who wrote the theme tune
3. The “What I learned/learnt from last week’s television” strand was a bad idea, since I didn’t learn enough, it turned out
4. People really like having a bullet-pointed list of media news items each morning
5. I can never get people’s names right. Actually, that’s not new

We’ve also launched The Carusometer, wide-eyed and blinking behind its dark-as-night sunglasses, onto an unsuspecting world. Will it ever be the same? Not by the time the “full season” Carusometer arrives, it won’t.

I’d like to say a great big thank you again to Anna, Holyhoses Rob, Jason, Lisa, Marie, Matt, Rosby, Scott, Stu and all those who lurkers who have stayed with me since year one. I’d also like to thank the new arrivals – Iko, Poly, Mark, espedair, Linda, cindylover1969, Fraser, Kev, Craig, Lesley, Jonathan, Phoenix – for making the blog even more fun this year, and for all the lurkers out there (you know who you are) for elevating my visitor stats to the point where I don’t feel humiliated every day. All I can do is try my best to keep you all entertained and hope you stick around.

Thanks for sticking with me!
