I guess I have Moshe Zadska to blame for our unit's watching of the addictive Veronica Mars series. The series is well written, and I don't understand how some other people fail to pick up on the fact that the stereotypical high school stuff is precisely meant to be stereotypical so it can serve as a backdrop for the story. Sort of like a kiss-and-punch approach, the school backdrop suckers you into thinking it's just another teen series, making you lower your defenses, until you're drawn on. Sort of the same quality Buffy has.
Tonight though I was pleasantly surprised to see an episode that propped Ubuntu and GNOME 2.8. I had to rewind to confirm that my ears actually heard what they just heard :) Congrats to Ubuntu for hitting the mainstream !
