Mystery Library Theatre 2007
I frequently get to play a game called "Now Why Did I Rent This Again?" This happens because I am too cheap frugal to get a Netflix account or go to my local video rental store, so I use the library for all of my video rental needs. The library system around here has a pretty awesome selection, which is nice, but they don't have many copies of anything. This means that I tend to request something in, say, June and I am put on the reserves list but it doesn't get to me until August, because everyone on the list can keep it for up to a month if they want (I am 140th in line for Spider-Man 3 already and it hasn't even come out on DVD yet... but I'm hoping they'll have more than one copy of that one).
So apparently a couple of months ago I reserved season 5 of CSI. I never really watch CSI, but I remembered that the reason that I reserved it was that someone did a guest appearance that I wanted to see. IMDb has a handy episode cast list page which helped me narrow down the suspects, so I'm pretty sure that I reserved it for Jason Segel, who was in three episodes of that season. But my search through the cast lists revealed that this season included appearances by Melora Hardin, Wil Wheaton, Tony Curtis, Frank Gorshin, Clark Duke, Nicholas Lea, America Ferrera, John Krasinski and Bart the Bear, my favorite ursine thespian. I wonder if all seasons of CSI have such great collections of talent. Maybe I should be watching this show.
Now I am off to see what kind of stalker Jason Segel plays in this show.

It wasn't really. It turns out he's some kind of computer geek that they call in to the lab every once in a while to do some sort of tests. He doesn't really have a personality.
And I don't know how to put things from DVD to YouTube!
And I already took it back to the library!
I gave in and accepted my lot as a fan of CSI:. It's just too damned clever sometimes, and they get really awesome guests. It's good stories, good acting, and good semi-science to get my nerd brain all a-twitter. :)
