Tuesday TV September 20, 2006

Well, last night let’s see what was on the TiVo;

Rerun of Gilmore Girls (didn’t watch it, but it’s there so we’ll probably watch it to refresh us on where they left off last season)
Dog The Bounty Hunter- It’s was his normal ‘Get that Muthafucker!’ episode…nothing new and fancy…BUT, I did find out that he was arrested for bounty huntingin Mexico where it’s illegal! When did this happen and how did I not know about it?  I found out about Steve Irwin’s death within HOURS of it happening, yet Dog is arrested and released and his family tapes an episode and I’m still sitting here in my cave under my rock playing spades with the neighborhood brontosaurus…….

The Unit- It was pretty good, I knew that Tiffy and Mack wouldn’t leave, I mean HELLLLLOOOOOOO her affair and his abuse are about the only things in that show that interest me…and I’m sure 90% of the viewing public.

Boston Legal- I just LOVE this show, it’s never dull, it never ceases to make me giggle at the outrageous attitudes and behaviors of these characters, I just love me som Denny Crane…and the doll, OMG the doll was great!

Smith- Uhhhhh, whhhaaaaa…hhhuuuhhhhh? Oh yeah, Smith, that show where he’s suppose to be this super meticulous bad guy yet his team made more mistakes than a thug holding up a liquor store….Yeah, I’ll keep watching it, but only because there’s nothing else in that spot..but it didn’t suck me in and make me want a new episode.

Million Dollar Listing- HA! Those rich people are crazy…I think it’s a prerequisite to being rich, you must be either stupid, crazy, or both, preferrably both!

I still have an episode of Buy Me (HGTV) on the TiVo to watch, those people are sooo funny when it comes to selling their houses!  And the episode of Dog ‘The Family Speaks’ about his arrest….that should be interesting!

So, Smith wasn’t a total wash for me, but it isn’t my favorite new show…right now my fave is Studio 60, but we’ll see……

It’s a new season…let the predictions begin September 19, 2006

Well last night was the first full night of new TV.  As you can tell from my TiVo lineup I watched mainly CBS shows with a little sprinkling of NBC for good measure.  Here are my takes on the shows;

The Class- I really hate it when a great premise to a show ends up being written all wrong.  I watched the show but don’t remember much.  There were a few funny parts, but the writing is going to have to get MUCH better in order to keep it on the air.  One thing that I’ve found from watching most shows on DVD…by the end of the first season it’s either on its way to being a keeper or it’s dying a slow, miserable death…I really hope ‘The Class’ makes it, I love Jason Ritter and he was robbed with the cancellation of ‘Joan of Arcadia’!

How I Met Your Mother- I really like this show, just for the simple fact of “WHO IS THE MOTHER!? AND HOW DID THEY MEET!?”  I just really hope that the Marshall/Lily and the Ted/Robin relationships don’t turn into a Ross/Rachel thing.  It was after the big ‘breakup’ episode of Friends that I stopped watching…..I mean how many times can a couple break up and get back together before it’s boring the hell out of everyone? (Obviously a lot, seeing as Friends was on forever after that episode…they did redeem themselves with the Chandler/Monica thing, though.)….And oh how Doogie has grown up, I love Neil Patrick Harris!

Prison Break- Ok, so it wasn’t the season premiere but still…let’s talk about this show for a minute, shall we?  I really hate how this show keeps me nervous.  Those boys are ALWAYS getting into trouble and NOTHING goes their way, just once I’d like to see them get lucky…just once! Ok, so they got ‘lucky’ and escaped..but still!!  It makes me nervous to watch!!

CSI:Miami- Ok, the lines are cheesey, the databases that these folks have access to are AMAZING! And I have to remind myself that it’s all fictional, including the city of Miami….it’s a fictional Miami and in a perfect Miami they’d have databases for everything and could solve a crime in 10 minutes and shoot a billion people and travel to countries and shoot more people and then say something totally campy and ‘David Caruso’-ish…..yeah, that’s what I’ll tell myself……..

Studio 60- OMG! This is great! I really liked it, the performances were awesome! Each line was delievered quickly and in succesion and it didn’t feel the least bit forced or rehearsed…I’m quite impressed! The storyline is great, the acting is great, the premise is great…I was praying to myself last night “No credits! Not yet! PLEASE!!!!”  But alas the credits rolled and I must wait a week for the next episode…….Matt Perry totally let go of his alter ego Chandler Bing and I’m proud of him! This is a great show! 

Tonight is The Unit, Boston Legal and Smith….I doubt I’ll be dissappointed by any of those…especially Boston Legal, if you’re not watching Boston Legal, you need to…No other legal show has ever come close to Boston Legal, David E. Kelly is a genius, hats off to him!! William Shatner and James Spader are beautiful together!  Seriously, if you haven’t seen this show, TiVo it at least..it’s a great show!
