You should totally watch Leverage. It's such a blast. Season 1 only has 13 episodes so not all that much to catch up with and the longer you wait the more it will be. Plus, Saul Rubinek is in the Leverage pilot, too.
Watching series again...avivasedaiJuly 30 2009, 19:36:49 UTC
I find myself watching series on Hulu or SurfTheChannel.com - links to other hosting sites. Chuck, Dead Like Me, Eli Stone, and I watched West Wing again until videos became unavailable, and have more coming from Netflix. I haven't actually watched TV on TV for ... maybe a month? Weird.
I would also watch Leverage, and I've been told to watch Warehouse 13. There's only so many hours a night for TV, and I'm maxing them out!

::laughing:: I only spend so much time on TV, but I could watch on the 'net, yeah. Hmmm... I'm really enjoying Warehouse 13, and Leverage is amazing: I don't think I've run into much if any bad fic. So, I need to watch it!
Yeah, but that's like Mongo, he still won't get the election. And I have to say, at least Memphis didn't reelect a man convicted of drug charges! (Although, really, anyone who listened to the teachers should have know Willy gave high-paid positions to toadies and exes.)
And as long as it stays fluffy summer fare, with nuts and maybe some chewy caramel, I'm gonna stay happy with it. But if they go gratuitously "darker'n'edgier" on me . . . I'm starting to develop a serious hate for creators whose shows pull that shit. And that "options" line looked like a warning flag.
First few eps I missed the opening credits, caught 'em just last week -- oooooooh, Firefly nostalgia! Made me wanna hug it and squeeze it and name it George.
What Firefly nostalgia? Yeah, I'm with you: it gets dark, I'm gone. I think, though, that they're going to go with the standard government response to being hacked: hire the hacker. ::g:: Artie needs the help anyway!
I'm enjoying Warehouse 13, though the pilot didn't help. (I thought it was much too slow to start--even non genre fans are familiar with the concept of The Warehouse, from Indiana Jones if nothing else. They spent way too long setting up the premise and trying to justify it.) But the second and subsequent episodes have won me over.
Burn Notice is excellent! My favorite show, I think. Other weekly shows I like (and you might or might not) are The Closer, and Saving Grace. Both cops shows, but Saving Grace has an honest-to-god (har har) angel as one of the characters, Earl.
I tried Leverage (if only because it's filmed right here in Portland), but it didn't grab me. Other than playing "name that background location" I didn't pay much attention.
I've read the Aurora Teagarden books and I liked them well enough, but I preferred her "Shakespeare" series. And have you read Harris's other supernatural series--Grave Sight, etc.? I really like those too.
I've read the first Shakespeare novel and her three current Grave novels; I won't be reading more in either series. They're just too damn dark for me. If I want to be depressed, I'll read the news, thanks.
