TV

[susandennis]

Well, this year sure sucks for new TV shows!! Out of my big long list, nearly none have survived. Very not good. Plus, my one absolutely favorite new show - Bravo's Breaking News - is only 13 episodes long and I only have 2 left. This is a series that another network (forget who) created and never aired and finally Bravo bought years after it was done. It's a great show but it's goner. And I think I've had about enough of Will and Grace.

My weekly taping schedule sure gets easier:

CSI Miami
Everwood
8 Simple Rules
Life with Bonnie
NYPD Blue
In-Laws
Frasier
Hidden Hills
Gilmore Girls
The Guardian
Presidio Med
MDs - borderline
Ed
The West Wing
Friends
Will & Grace - borderline
Good Morning Miami
ER
Without a Trace - borderline
That was Then
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Hack - borderline
Robbery Homicide Division
The District
For the People
The Practice
Boston Pubic

And daily:
Caroline Rhea
The Screen Savers
The Daily Show

Forgot to add:

House Invaders
Manchild
Parkinson

And even since posting this, this morning, I've now watched another episode of Everwood. It's now absolutely off the list - they crossed the line on one of my pet peeves.

Have you or do you intend to watch the Gary Shandling show on Bravo? IMHO it is one of if not the best written show on the tube. I swore I would watch it but if it is already on I have missed it.

I think Will and Grace is about to jump the shark with this baby business. Have you seen the website: http://jumptheshark.com It tells you the various formulas for disaster of our favorite shows.

Jump the shark is hilarious! I've never seen that before...

Gary Shandling, eh? He's always kind of annoyed me but I'll give him a shot. Our Bravo is all screwed up as they switched the west coast times and the cable company hasn't caught up up. So it's very hard to find when stuff is on. Grrrrr I hate it when people screw ith my TV schedule!

No plot spoilers for Will n Grace please as we are behind you ...but honestly ...HOW irritating is Grace? God I really want to give her a slap.

Love Jack and eeek ...whats her name ..the rich woman ...they should have a show on their own ..they are hysterical. Rosario is quite amusing too.

[susandennis]

No plot spoilers, I promise. I started to ask how far behind us you are but then realized that's kind of a 'will everyone who is not here raise your hand' question.

You nailed it. It's Grace who just makes my teeth hurt. I'm also kind of tired of Karen. But, for some reason I still record it and still watch it.

Oh dear, was the second episode of That Was Then atrocious? I kind of liked the first episode. Kinda.

I watch MDs because of a secret crush on John Hannah, but that chick from The It Factor and the show's too-close-overall resemblance to M*A*S*H get on my nerves.

I'm putting Frasier on my borderline list, after the last episode, which was 20 minutes of setup to a fifteen second joke that wasn't that funny.

[susandennis]

I love the music of That was Then and I liked Gail O'Grady on NYPD Blue but not here. And I'm still thinking MDs could grow on me - maybe.

Frasier... I should have given it a boarderline. I think I only watch it to see how they screw up Seattle references. Even that is no longer that much fun...

[susandennis]

I actually DID record John Doe - I missed the first one and haven't watched the 2nd one yet... is there anything I need to know (from the first one) before I watch the 2nd one?

I'll see your King of Queens and raise you a Becker.

[susandennis]

Wow. Thanks. And you are so right... Any show that opens with a beautiful naked man deserves a serious look.

I recorded that Alice and Bram thing but I knew from the previews it was a stinker plus I'm not wild about him or about her. And, you know what? I'm a little pissed that Becker got rid of Reggie. I didn't watch last night's yet so maybe they make it up to me.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed on John Doe.

[susandennis]

Ok, I watched it. It is lame but it is not nearly as lame as some of the other shows and it does have the Seattle thing going (fyi, the only error I caught was hot (as in spicey) Mariner dogs... not happening... Mariner dogs are not hot - they are regular hot dogs). Plus I know that police woman from somewhere - the one who looks like Susan Dey used to? I'll absolutely record it again.

I swapped the second episode of Then And Now for the second episode of American Dreams last night. I really liked it. Check it out if you like family dramas. This one is set in the 60's. Brought back some memories for me. :)

Oops! I meant That Was Then. It was so bad I forgot the name!
