...from 30 Rock.

A few weeks ago, I realized that what was really missing in my life was 30 Rock. I'd seen seasons one and two a while back, loved them, and decided (possibly with bad judgment) that Liz Lemon is My Personal Hero.

So, I hurried over to Netflix and began watching the third season. In the very first episode, Liz wants to adopt a baby ( Read more... )

Also, remember the Skins movie? Well, MTV is making an American version of the TV show. I am very skeptical.

Additionally, MTV steers a fearless path with the greenlight of the North American adaptation of the U.K. drama series "Skins". .... "Skins" will also begin production this summer with 10 one-hour episodes.

Speaking of television, how about this exciting news:

"Dev Patel and Nicholas Hoult will reportedly reprise their roles in the recently-confirmed movie adaptation of Skins.

"The Sun claims that the pair, who starred in the first two series of the hit show, have signed up for the project, which beings shooting later this year."

A little over a month ago, when I was deep in the throes of term paper-induced procrastination, I wrote about my favorite childhood television shows, promising to follow up with the ones I watched as a teenager. And since sninkle is always asking me for more true stories (a ploy, I suspect, to improve my memory; I rely too much on hers), I will dutifully ( Read more... )

I just realized that the classy and high quality ABC Family sitcom 10 Things I Hate About You has come out with loads of new episodes over the past few months. (These are the things I don't realize when I am sans a television-- that is, sans reliving my adolescence on a daily basis by watching Gilmore Girls on ABC Family.) I will try to relish the ( Read more... )

The addendum to that post is that I've also been spending far too much time watching Moonlight, which apparently was a short-lived CBS show about vampires from last year or the year before. It has that guy who's going to be in a romcom with J. Lo (about artificial insemination? it sounds terrible), Sophia Myles (whose only movie I can remember is ( Read more... )

So, I just watched the first episode of Skins, and am thinking the following:

"OMG, a-MAZ-ing! Why have I never watched this show before? It is a teen drama! And the first season features the kid who played Marcus[ *] in About a Boy, one of my favorite movies EVER, and Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire! And it's on Netflix instant demand!"

This made me so happy.

Also, when I went home last weekend, the girl sitting next to me on the bus was watching Alias, and I remembered how much I used to love that show. My feelings could perhaps best be summed up by the words of a very wise man (OMG the pun!): "I lost my keys. Where are they? (It's a metaphor.)"

A rewatching is in progress, between ( Read more... )

Has anyone been watching Ruby and the Rockits or 10 Things I Hate About You?

They are both strangely addicting, but especially the second one, which is surprisingly clever and all around appealing. Somehow, all of the characters are totally lovable, even the ones who are horrible human beings.

I still have absolutely no desire to watch the Secret ( Read more... )

HGD, I think that North and South (2004) might be just as amazing as Pride and Prejudice. The BBC can have my soul.
