Kyle XY? Because You Need To Be Watching This Show, That's Why

I've been a member of the Ginger Cookie Disco Nation for only a day, but I don't think it's ever too soon for one to start exerting their pop-cultural influence by immediately telling people what they need to be watching and listening to. This also marks the first post to depart from music to television, and I will do my best to make this transition of topics as smooth and painless as I possibly can.


Okay, I'm not going to waste any time here and just get straight to the point: Everyone should be watching Kyle XYEveryone. The only people who may possibly be excepted here are the blind, deaf, and/or retarded, and even then those are generous exceptions. So that means if you aren't blind, deaf, and/or retarded and you aren't currently in love with this show, there is one of the following things wrong:

1. You aren't aware of its existence.

Yo, check it, unaware person: There is an amazing, brilliant, truly original series overflowing with awesome on Mondays at 8/7 central on ABC Family called Kyle XY. I realize that you were somehow not aware of this fact, but you no longer have that problem. You now have a new problem, which is that you haven't watched it yet. Let's fix that.

2. You're aware of its existence but just haven't watched it yet.

Hey, whatcha doing? Have you been waiting for me to tell you that you need to be watching it? Because if you were, I'm telling you now that you need to be watching it, so let's get on that. It's currently in its second season, but it isn't necessary to have seen the first season to understand the second season. It helps if you have, but don't let that stand in the way of giving it a go. The premiere of the second half of season two resumes tomorrow night at 8/7 central, preceded by an all-day marathon starting at 11am. You won't regret it. Unless, of course, you watch it and don't like it for some ungodly reason, in which case you might want to get checked out. There's a chance you may not actually be a human being.

3. You're aware of its existence, you watched it, and you didn't like it.

I can't help you. Whatever is going on to make you dislike Kyle XY was present long before you ever watched Kyle XY, and that's something you'll just have to work on.

Here's a really awesome video someone put on OurTube showcasing in a nutshell what happened during season one:




Okay, well, the bottom line here is that even if you don't want to watch it or don't like it, everyone still needs to watch it. At the very least, Kyle's intense adorability never fails, so you can always watch for that. There is really no possible way for you to lose with this show. Trust me.

I've never seen Kyle XY, but now I see that I obviously have to!
