It's once again fall television premiere season. There's quite a bit I haven't watched ... there are just some shows I never got into. I never watched CSI or Law & Order ... never watched Desperate Housewives ... never watched ER. Which is fine. Well ... except CSI. That's one bandwagon I wish I would've jumped on. I hear good things. But I digress ...
What can I say? I dig water cooler discussions ... and I dig them even more when I can participate. So, in my pursuit of the Hippest Co-worker of the Year Award ... which I will never win using words like "dig" ... I've tried to catch a lot of the new shows.
Dirty Sexy Money - I loved Six Feet Under ... so I'm really getting a kick out of watching Peter Krause playing an attorney hired by a Kennedy-esque clan of eccentric flakes and weirdos. I can't help thinking what an amazing show this would've been if it was shown on HBO instead of ABC.
Chuck - I've said it before and I'll say it again ... this guy is one Red Sox hoodie away from stealing Jimmy Fallon's identity. I mean ... did Jimmy Fallon turn this part down? Did they even bother offering it to him first? Is he sitting in an apartment somewhere going, "You have to be fucking kidding me?" Cause he should be. In any case, the moment Chuck grabs an acoustic guitar and starts singing, I'm cancelling my series recording.
The Big Bang Theory - Hey, I'm as much into geekdom as anyone else ... if not more so. But funny is funny ... and this ain't it. My first clue? Painfully obvious laugh track. It's an immediate sign of bad things to come. Only redeeming aspect? Cool shower curtain. Avoid the show ... get the shower curtain here.
Reaper - Cute ... amusing even. But I liked it better the first time around when it was called "Dead Like Me." What makes it worth watching? Leland Palmer as the Devil. How wicked cool is that?
Moonlight - First off, let me come right out and say it ... I absolutely hate private eye stories. I mean, common. It's 2007. There should be a moratorium on any story involving private investigators. Especially anything that begins with the line, "Like most stories, this one begins with a girl ..." UGH! Having said that ... vampires, in general, are pretty cool ...
Bionic Woman - Ugh ... maybe it was just me ... but that was pretty painful. I was too young to get into the first Bionic Woman back it the 70's ... so maybe I'm missing out on the nostalgia aspect. And once again ... on the doppelganger front ... didn't that blond chick play Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica? Are the network executives trying to screw with my head? Wait? She was Starbuck? How the mighty have fallen ...
If you want to tune into some old favorites or maybe catch a few new ones ... check out the info here or here or here. Oh and Lost ... you remember Lost, right? We'll be waiting until February, 2008 for that one. I guess HBO isn't the only network that likes making their fans wait months ...
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
