Pop Culture Whoring

Sep 26, 2005 22:50

I am watching an obscene amount of television lately (enabled by my lack of a social life and my new dual disk DVR). I promised sucks2bchonks that I would disclose, but I am really shocked and appalled by the length of this list. The DVR means that I never just flip around. I watch whatever random thing I taped the night (or several nights) before. So here goes ( Read more... )

nip/tuck?

I had no idea. i lurv that show. even when they do silly conjoined twins episodes.

christian troy. he's so one of my cheesy romance heroes writ large. The rogue with a heart of gold who simply needs the love of a good woman.

i adore gilmore girls. i fell in love with the lightning-quick witty dialogue, the complicated relationships across 3 generations of smart, stubborn women, and the side characters, esp. lane and mrs. kim and michel. though now i mostly just watch for luke and lorelai. rory has become a big ass privileged brat living off her stuck-up privileged grandparents, and i hate her whole story arc now. letting her "make her own mistakes," my ass. when i tried to drop out of school, i lived in my car, off $10 a week, not in a fancy redecorated pool house. blech. she seems to be getting more and more immature and annoying as she gets older...

Yep, Rory has become a whiny little entitled bitch of late.
Here's hoping it bites her in the ass.
Though it is also about time to shake up Lorelei's "I have the perfect daughter" bit.
Also I find it funny that apparently LG and SP don't get along in real life.

I'd agree about the "Supernatural is the male Charmed" thing, but mostly due to the Wendigo episode last week, which handled the subject better than Charmed did. And I know Charmed is trashy, but I've been watching from the beginning and I like to see things through, no matter how bad they get. It's had its moments in the past and I guess I'm watching out of duty and nostalgia and the snarking possibilities at this point ( ... )

Every time I think I am out for good, Charmed pulls me back in with some gimmick despite its lack of continuity and its muddled timeline.

This week for instance: They are doing an Alice in Wonderland bit? I love that book! So I'll watch. And it will probably disappoint like the fairytale themed ep, but the damage will already have been done.

Good Eats is on Food Network, kind of an information heavy geeky cooking show with titles like "Good Wine Gone Bad: Vinegar." Apparently I watch it in liu of actually cooking.
