Killing some Time

Printing orders today..so while the printer runs thought I would ramble about Television shows I'm watching...

I spent a while watching TV last night as I did laundry. Watched Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genuis. The nephews have me hooked. It's a good show. I love hyper-active Sheen and his Ultra Lord obsession. Didn't watch SpongeBob ..you know Gooffy SpongeBob grows on you after about 5 episodes....instead caught part of an Old CSI rerun. I so love that show.

At 8, I watched the new show called Bones. It was ok. I give it a B+ rating. It's about a "Bone" specialist teaming with an FBI guy (the guy from the Angel series) to solve cases. The lead girl could kick ass. And some of the supporting characters cracked me up. So it's worth another look, even if the plot was so damn predictable.

Then at 9, I watched "Supernatural." That show rocked. It's about two brothers who fight supernatural stuff while trying to locate their dad, who's tracking ghosts and demons. The brothers act like brothers, sort of arguing but watching each other's backs. I watched it with the lights off and man it rocked. This episode dealt with the "Woman in White" phenomena. I give it an A++. It upset me to see that the younger Brother Sam's girlfriend was killed like his mom by a demon. I think the demon has something to do with Sam...

Flipped channels after it went off... next Tues I'll be glued to the tube watching Nip/Tuck..as you know Dr. Christian Troy was attacked by the serial slasher. He'll survive of course but it will take a long time to get over the pyschological trauma. I'm here for you, baby...come to mama. Ava ...I hope they bring her back. That storyline ws awesome... and she really added some spice with her strong woman-ness, ok... I guess since she was once a man I shouldn't credit her with being all woman. Though she's got the edge in womanhood compared to weak willed Julia. Please writers... make me like her this year..for the last two season's I've not been able to bear her.

As for what else I've been watching...Rome--the HBO series. It's pretty good. I haven't bonded with any of the characters yet. Though I do think the Octavius character will be interesting to watch as he grows. His mother Atia, she's a tough cookie...not above doing what she has to do to stay on top of the food chain. At times it's hard to keep up with, so I'm having to watch the re-broadcasts, which is a good thing HBO does. Luckily the episodes are worth watching twice. I'll rate it at a B+ borderline A-.


Survivor starts this Thurs. I'm not all that keen on it this year. I really think they jumped the shark when they did the All-Stars show. Last season's shows were great but, I didn't care who won. I'll probably watch it as I wait for CSI which will come on directly after it.Now...that's one show I looove. CSI... last season's finale (which is on again this Thurs) rocked. Was the best nail-biting show I've seen since the Grudge at the movies. I can't imagine what they'll toss at us this season.

Reno 911 !'s 3rd season was hysterical, which is over but I think you'll be able to catch the re-runs. It's one show that you don't have to have a mind to watch, because the characters sure don't!

Another long awaited series return... "Curb Your Enthusiam." Season 4 starts Sept 25. It's about Larry David, the Senfield creator..the one George's character is fashioned after...though he's more neurotic and complusive. He kills me... you almost hate the guy but then you realize that everything he does that he shouldn't returns to haunt him full force later.

Gosh...how terrible I am. I just realized those are the only shows I watch faithfully though there are goobs of them on TV. I rarely watch TV on Mon, Wed or Friday or the weekends. If I do watch anything it's DVD's. Ok.. sometimes I caught LazyTown on NICK in the mornings... oh Sportucus....come to mama... (Don't tell Dr. Troy).. But come to think of it... its a pretty good thing..means I actually do have a life.
