Caught another gasp of apparent downtime at work; this only happens on weekends, usually Sundays, slow news days, when the bosses are away and the campaigns are par for the course till Monday's news cycle begins.

Let's talk about TV!

I am all over this Lost-itis surge of genre-lite shows hitting mainstream network television. It's positively a

I love, love the characters in Threshold. It's the only one I'm taking the time to dl this year and it's mostly because of Brent Spinner, Peter Dinklage and Robert Patrick Benedict. The other two amuse me, too. So all in all, I'm a happy girl.

[iamsab]

That's what I'm SAYIN'. It's such a great little power team. Also, watch Bones. It has an even BETTER ensemble, or, you know, as good as it can be minus Brent Spiner and/or a midget.

Alas, Lost is just as full of flashbacks this season, and even weirder! Personally, I'm a big fan of character development, so I can handle the flashbacks. I myself am not watching a whole lot of tv (I'm at school pretty late some nights), but I am watching recorded My Name is Earl, Lost, and I think I'm gonna be watching Will & Grace and the new Night Stalker. :)

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of re: Lost. Well, one of these days I'll at least have to go back and watch the ones with Mira Furlan because I love her.

Her character, Danielle, is pretty interesting. I haven't seen her in anything else, but she's very good in Lost. I wonder if she'll be in the second season at all.....

I have too many shows (again) this year and I had to pick ONE of the above. Inevitably and obviously, the linguist midget and Dr Data trumped any family dynamics in the Everglades or alien hatchlings named Nimrod, so I'm going with Threshold even though it's annoyingly 'what civil rights, huh? huh?' (they even say that, and then in the next breath it's like, 'oh, right, we're under attack, screw that' - nice political not-so-subtext there, kids) and the overall plots are gonna get old quickly. But Peter Dinklage! Brent Spiner! I can't NOT watch.

[iamsab]

You should watch "Bones." You'll like it, I promise. Give it three episodes.

[wax_jism]

But, but, but... I ALREADY HAVE FIFTEEN SHOWS. I'm tearing my hair. I actually want to watch all of them. There just aren't enough hours in the week.

Neil Patrick Harris is killer in "How I Met Your Mother". I've never seen him in anything else, but in this he's smart, funny, and interesting. I love that in a character, and the other characters are just as cool.

I love "Kitchen Confidential" too. It delights me and makes me laugh my ass off. It's so great to have two comedies!

I hope that work's going all right. Take care of yourself, please.

[iamsab]

Oh, welcome to the joy that is Neil Patrick Harris. You should find yourself some old Doogie Howser, or at the very least Starship Troopers, which is of course my favorite movie of all time. *g*

I'm so glad you like that show. I was reading a review that said "I never thought I'd like a laugh track sitcom again!" which is precisely how I feel. My life in four cameras, dude!

And I am good. You take care of yourself too. *legitimate hugs*

i might borrow your review of why i like Invasion to substitute for mine, which i still haven't written. because the KIDS. jesus i love those kids, each and every one. I love the little girl who asks the questions we all do, like, "why WON'T the alligator bite you?"

[iamsab]

I love them TOO. I loved them this week all having breakfast. The son is SUCH a good kid.
