Although I really ought to watch Firefly and would love to rewatch Life (and finish the last few eps of S2), I really can't commit to saying I'm going to manage it.

Re: Poll marymary June 10 2010, 01:50:07 UTC

Well I voted for Life, but it took me awhile to decide. I'm fine with doing Firefly first.

I think I could do both each week, but if there's enough overlap between the Lifers and the Fireflies, it might be unrealistic and people will drop off.

Re: Poll quaggy_mire June 10 2010, 02:23:43 UTC

Yeah, I know and I agree.

But I told everyone else to vote honestly, so I figured I should as well. And I should be able to handle both as long as I don't try to pick up a Asian series to try to watch too. :-P

But I do understand that's not the same for everyone else... especially when Mad Men starts up again.

Whichever we choose, I just want to be sure that it's the show the maximum number of people are interested in.

I've finally managed to watch the pilot and premier and can definitely say this is a show I will be watching more of. Dan is *so* different from Josh, but Brad plays him amazingly well. Even the 'stache of porn is growing on me!!!

(Hey, that's two VMars alums in my list! Huh.)

Hi, Mary. :-) You may know that Party Down is a Rob Thomas show, so it's filled with Veronica Mars alums. Ryan Hansen and Ken Marino are in the ensemble, and Kristen Bell has a recurring role. (Well, if two nonconsecutive episodes can be defined as recurring.) Guttenberg and Ed Begley Jr. have also done guest spots.

Sofia Vergara, Jane Lynch, Courteney Cox, Felicity Huffman, Wanda Sykes and Patricia Heaton talk about who's the funniest female comic and much more.

That'll work for this crowd, right? ;-)

This is part of a fascinating series of roundtable interviews. So much fun to watch/read as some of our favorite actors talk about their work.

I am intrigued by this new show they keep advertising, Covert Affairs which comes to USA next month. It sort of reminds me of Alias in that it features a female spy. But the cast include Peter Gallagher, Christopher Gorham, and Eion Bailey (at least in the pilot!). Oh and Tim Matheson directed the pilot.

And I've been watching Royal Pains because it requires no effort. It's light and fluffy. And like Mo Ryan, I can fold laundry to it.

And now that hockey isn't taking up my available tv time, perhaps I can catch up with those episodes of The Pacific that I haven't watched or this week's In Plain Sight.
