The series Rescue Me just finished last night. I really enjoyed this new show, and the ending was perfect. Denis Leary's world weary act is prevalent in every scene and made it something different to anything else on tv.
Gave up on Point Pleasant. I was trying to hang on, then I heard it got cancelled and I quickly dropped it, as did the network showing it. They're replacing it with a double helping of the new series of Scrubs. Can't complain about that!
Smallville is beginning to grate. I still enjoy watching it, but something seems to be missing, and I think it's Lois. They introduced this great character, sparks flew, humorous situations ensued, and then she goes away. I understand she'll be back, so I'll keep watching.
24 has reached the end of part one, they do it every season. All threats averted but still about twelve hours left. Curious to see where it goes, it's been good so far, except the stupid schizophrenic daughter storyline. What's that all about? (rhetorical question)
The OC, Desperate Housewives, ER and Las Vegas are guilty pleasures, but my big confession is not one of these.
My big confession:
It is a show that I believe is pretty successful in the US. It has reached at least a 5th season and I think it will make the magic number seven.
In the UK it is unknown. To my knowledge, never been shown on our screens, until now.
I first caught an episode whilst on vacation in Mexico, and thought the dialogue was great. Good characters and it hit my sense of humour exactly.
I found it on the Hallmark channel, a channel I normally avoid like the plague, whilst sitting at home ill one day. I was just hopping, as you do, and the name flashed on the on screen menu. And lo and behold, it was the beginning of season one, and they were showing them every day of the week at the same time (that's daytime tv for you). With Sky+ (tivo), this is Nirvana. So I set it up, it records every day and is waiting for me when I get home. I'm addicted to a show on the Hallmark channel, ye gads.
Into season 2, and I'm still enjoying every minute of it.
Can you guess what it is yet?
I confess, I am addicted to the Gilmore Girls. I've said it, banish me, black ball me, tar and feather me, I can keep it in no longer.
Don't hate me, we all have our vices.
