Browsing for a birthday gift for a friend who’s really into TV, I had a hard time finding something interesting. It would appear that, as with everything, there are a few good products, and a lot of real junk out there. I can’t tell you how hard it is to find a decent Jack Bauer bobblehead. Anyway, finally got it at the Fox TV store (duh).

What I REALLY want though is that cool phone Jack has. Danged if it doesn’t look just like my Treo 650 smartphone, but I sure as heck can’t watch live security camera footage, download gigabytes of building blueprints, or teleport myself to CTU headquarters.

Speaking of behaving like a child, I finally watched an episode of Kid Nation this evening. Hilarious. 10 year-olds behave just as immaturely as 30 year olds in a Survivor-esque landscape. If you’re a parent, watch it with your kids and tell them not to act like Michael (crybaby), and learn from Sophia – except for the pre-erotic-dancer act she does to earn enough money to buy a bicycle. I’m sure you can find it on one of those websites that lets you watch pretty much any TV show. Oh wait….

Anyway, if you have friends who are really into TV, buy them a bobblehead. Or a gift certificate for Graboid, once they’re available.
