The TV Addict Posts - American Idol, Jericho and more
Yes I'm a fan of AI. I really enjoy the show and the whole family watches together. Last year was weak and I thought it might have peaked with season 5. But I am back to loving American Idol this year. I think it's been a great year so far.
Last week's Beatles night was one of the best and while Tuesday's repeated theme was not as strong I still think that this is one of the strongest groups in years. I totally have Beatles on the brain and have gone off to find a bunch of songs the show reminded me I liked and need to have on my ipod.
Love my boy David Cook. Huge fan and I seriously can not wait to buy what ever album he puts out. If it's half as good as Daughty's it will be great.
I kind of liked Amanda. I thought she was unique and I was sorry to see her go. But she had become a bit of a one trick pony. Really Kristy Lee need to go. She's about as lively as a piece of wood onstage.
Jericho - I absolutely & am completely addicted to this show. Does anybody out there know anything about its renewal? I'm dying here waiting for CBS to make a decision. The good news is I've heard that Sci FI channel is waiting in the wings to grab it if CBS is stupid enough to cancel. But you never know if it will be the same show if it changes stations.
I highly recommend Jericho. - Season 1 is excellent and well worth the rental. You should be watching this show I think it's conspiracy and characters are better than Lost.
New Amsterdam: Maybe it's the Highlander fan girl in me but this show is growing on me. It's is getting better each week and the actor playing John is very charismatic. The structure of the story is the same as Highlander with cool period flashbacks that parallel the modern story. (Without all the messing beheading) I guess when you're 400 years old you've got an anecdotal memory for everything that's ever happened. I find it interesting that John Amsterdamn is about the same age as Duncan MacLeod.
Eli Stone: I find this show utterly charming. The musical visions just work for me. They've got a good balance going between the life stuff and the fantasy stuff. Again the actor playing Eli really sells the concept.
John Adams: HBO has created a truly fantastic program. John Adams has always been a favorite president of mine - too many viewings of 1776, I guess. The whole family watched it and my kids loved it. It was great to see history presented in a way that also incredibly riveting. I mean we know what's going to happen - they declare independence - and yet the drama of it is so compelling And actually, I was surprised to see so many little things in the mini-series that reminded me of 1776. Not that I expected the congress to break into a chorus of "Sit Down, John" - we did that for them - but I was impressed with how right that musical actually got it.
As Always, I am interested in knowing what you're watching and what you think.
