Great post. I always look forward to your TV recaps (of the shows I watch anyway ( ... )

Too much whimsy and the cast doesn't work well enough for me.

Life is JUST so awesome. Nice to know that so many on FL like it too. Woohoo!!

Yes, Angie Harmon is just awesome. Her delivery of the simplest lines just gives them an edge. Love. her.

I wouldn't be surprised if she did go to dance school. It's just, ugh! Worst ringer on the show ever!!!!!

I just wanted to add my two cents on the FNL thing (because I too am not a fan of Moonlight, and yet watch it, eventhough I sometimes just fast forward through until Jason's one or two scenes).

I'm hoping that once we get our Coach back in our town, the show will go back to having a similar feel as last year's. I'm HOPING, and maybe it's giving the show too much credit, that the split up feel of the storylines is mainly because the "team" is no longer really together, and maybe once they get that back, it will become more cohesive.

I hope. :-/

I'm hoping you're right and that this disconnect is deliberate, but I still worry. Especially with Tami calling that Glenn dude. I swear if they go even a flirtation route with Tami and him, I'm going to see red. BURNING, HOT-RAGING RED!!!! people.

She's just sooooooooooo wrong age-wise.

The pretty that is Jensen sucked me in, but the rest of the show just didn't live up to him (except for Ava and they fucked that over big-time!)

I'm so happy that you like Life. I thought I was the only one. Totally agree about Moonlight and Friday Night Lights. The Tyra/Landry story line is the worst thing ever. I'm just about to give up on Moonlight. If I watch live anymore I'll really start to hate Alex O'L and Sophia Myles. Even my love for Jason can't make me sit through their scenes. (OK, maybe I'll stick it out to episode 6, the Jason episode.)

No, I've read other blogs and stuff of people liking Life. Tis an awesome show. I should download the first three eps and burn them to a DVD for my sister to watch. Aha! That's a plan!

Eh, tape ML and ff through to the JD scenes.

depudor October 15 2007, 03:47:06 UTC

Heh. Guess which one of all of those is my favorite show?

It wasn't long ago that I was agonizing over FNL vs. ML on Fridays, and now I can barely be bothered to care. If I had to choose which one would survive, I'd go with ML because of JDoh. Yeah, the show sucks, but I no longer consider FNL to be quality TV, either.

Now the big conundrum is Wednesday, which is where all the good TV is. That's the one night I wouldn't want to give up.

Supernatural -- I don't know if it was doing to Ava what they did, my complete and utter lack of interest in anything Sam-related or the fact that it bugs the frickin' hell out of me in EVERY EPISODE wondering how the heck they pay for anything!?!?!?

I think they explained this back in the first season, when they paid for everything with stolen credit cards. The writers probably avoid mentioning it now because they don't want to highlight the fact that the brothers Winchester are criminals.

- Survivor: I still miss Ozzy, but I love this show.Ozzy? The guy from the race card season? How ( ... )

arabian October 15 2007, 04:29:40 UTC

I ADORED Ozzy. I loved Yul, too, but I ADORED OZZY. Watching him in those challenges was a thing of beauty. And you know what they say? A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And he did too smile. Whenever the mighty Aitu four kicked the other team's ass over and over and over and over again, he smiled. He even did a cute little leap, tapping his heels together once. Sigh.

Twas the only season where although I wanted Ozzy to win, I was perfectly happy with Yul winning. Best final two Survivor EVER!!!

Hmm, your favorite? I'd love to think Life, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I remembered the stolen credit card thing, but in light of all of their other brushes with the law, that just doesn't fly. Too much lack of logic in the ointment, sorry. And you know I already agree about FNL.

Best final two Survivor EVER!!!

Heh. It wasn't a final two. ;P

I haven't seen Life. Judging from the comments, I guess I'll have to check it out, although the ratings don't offer much comfort. And I'm kind of mad at NBC for not promoting this show. If it weren't for the fact that I track the ratings for all the new shows (old habit), I'd never have heard of it.

My favorite new show? Kid Nation! yeah, no one's more surpised than I.

arabian October 15 2007, 23:41:44 UTC

Yeah, whatsherface didn't even count. Seriously.

Life is just wonderful. And yes, NBC is sucking about promoting it. Boo! Hiss!!

Really? About KN? Hmm, I do have it ON DEMAND, maybe I'll check it out again, I'm only one episode behind.
