Found a new show
Well, new to me, anyway. I don't watch too much real-time TV these days, unless it's a Yankee game, and we generally listen to those on the radio while the VCR does its thing in the living room. So I buy the DVDs of the shows that interest me, and watch them when the urge strikes.
This time, it was Private Practice. I love Tim Daly (I've cast him in my Nexus Cycle universe as Joe Cullen, the brother of Bridget Cullen Murtagh Dietrich, brother-in-law of Hans Dietrich, uncle of Lynn Murtagh Morton, stepfather of Jack O'Neill, and an ex-Marine who was awarded the MOH for heroism on Pelelieu in WWII), and became interested in the series solely because of him.
But the series goes beyond that initial interest. I've been junking out in it since Saturday afternoon, watching it straight through from the first ep (though I haven't seen the backdoor pilot from Grey's Anatomy yet), and I really like it -- the setting, the characters, the plot. Now I'm looking forward to the premiere on October 1st.
