I have to say the two shows that consistently delight and surprise me are Boston Legal and Ugly Betty. With Boston Legal, it is all about Denny and Alan for me. The innuendo keeps me amused by trying to guess if are they an item only in subtext or if it's canon.
( Read more... )Ugly Betty is also delightful. BL, UB and the SGs are the only shows that I actually turn away from the computer and give 100% of my attention to them. I like all the characters on Ugly Betty. Even the villains are given depth and pathos...and humor.
( Read more... )I worked the beginning of the week and didn't start downloading til Thursday. After I got The Bad Guys, I spent a while trying to find the next SGA ep because I really wanted to see what happened next. I mean, hey, that was quite a cliffhan...oh. It was a cliffhanger because, say, it was ep #20 and that was the end of the season?? Duh!
Mom is warming up to SGA. She had Tivo'd a diabetic program but it turned out that it was a channel that we don't get, so it recorded something else entirely. She fondly said McKay was on tivo shouting and crying. It turns out it was Grace under Pressure.
I rather liked the Bad Guys.
( Read more... )Lost is on and I'm fastforwarding through it. And I blew off Numb3rs tonight for a rerun of Ellery Queen. I loved Ellery Queen, the way it gloried in the past with long, loving shots of the old cars and all the other old sets and props. I even had to stop a few times to look up references like being as fast as Glen Cunningham (the Kansas Flyer, a track star from the 1930s.) I was reading a fannish thing somewhere about how much research does one do and I realized that the details in Ellery Queen were probably only possible because the people that remember that time period were still around to recreate them.
