TV 2011

[dodger_sister]

Firstly, who is watching "Southland?" I am so excited that this show is back. And it is as awesome as it ever was. Doesn't Ryan Ben look good in his uniform? And Bull John too. And Chickie. Yes, I like the uniforms. And Lydia rules. We sat down to watch the season premiere and my sister says, "They got Regina King back this year, right? I don't want to watch it if she's not in it anymore." And she was totally serious. I thought that I had a big old crush on the woman (cuz I do), but my sister's crush is way worse. She thinks Lydia is more kick-ass than Zoe. That's hardcore. Also, TOM EVERETT SCOTT, you peoples! The amount of excited I am that he is back cannot be quantified with words. I know NBC didn't want him, but I am so glad that he is TNT's boy (oh they love him over there). I hope they find some more to do with his character because I love him with big hearts. Oh, and omg the thing that happened to Sammy's character in the last episode, good lord.

"Justified" is back on Feb 9th! Whoo-hoo - Kill-tucky!


I have quit "Nikita". When the person you care about the least (read: not at all) is the title character, it just seems pointless. The Sister and I are currently watching "Dollhouse" for the first time and even though it has major storytelling issues, I am enjoying that more than I am "Nikita". I like Alex but idk. I mean, if I want Shane West in suits, that's what the internet is for. And if I quit watching "Chuck" even though Adam Baldwin (read: the man I have been in love with for more than twenty years of my life, years before he was Jayne Cobb even) then I can certainly quit watching "Nikita" even though Aaron Stanford is in it. I mean, I can still write Shane/Aaron fics if I really want to (and I may), so...

I also quit watching "Hellcats". The lead chick pisses me off so much, I want to beat her. She is so smart and a perfect cheerleader and can sing and play the guitar and all the boys love her. Don't forget her horrid alcoholic mother, you guys. Can you say Mary-Sue, or in her case, Marty-Sue. The one thing I really liked was that she had a male best friend. I like when they can do that and not have it be about sex. And even though Marty was obnoxious, I liked all the other characters. Except now, none of them have their own storylines - all of their storylines suddenly revolve around how awesome Marty is and how everyone is in love with her. Including the male best friend, because she has a vagina and he has a penis, so they must be in love. Plus, they never actually do cheerleading numbers. They do about as many cheerleading numbers as they did in the first season of "Glee" and, you know, "Glee" isn't even about cheerleaders.


"Off The Map" starts tomorrow. It looks horrendous. But Enrique Murciano is suppose to be in it, though now I think liptonrm might be right, that he was cut from the cast. (I saw him in cast promo pics! I did!) I mean, I'm betting it's a bad show, but any chance to get my #1 TV Boyfriend back on my TV...also, it's about doctors, so I figured there'd be scrub-wearing. And it's on a tropical island or something, so I figured there be shirtlessness. (Though I have to admit, as I much as I would marry that man hardcore, seeing him with his shirt off is like seeing James Marsters with his shirt off - I just want to feed them sweets until you can't see their ribs anymore. I'd marry James Marsters too, for the record, but not as hard as I'd marry Enrique.) I am Tivo-ing it anyway, please let him be in it.

"Chaos" doesn't premiere until April it looks like. I initially wanted to watch this show because of it's stellar casting - Eric Close and Freddy Rodriguez - but then I found out it's like about foul-mouthed, hard-ass, CIA agents who have to bring in rogue CIA agents or something and that's just awesome.

"True Blue", which was suppose to be Marc Blucas' new FBI show, isn't on the list, so I'm guessing it got pulled. It didn't sound too stellar, but I was willing to try it out for Marc Blucas.

SyFy's new "Being Human" premiered last night and I Tivo-ed it and am going to give it a shot and see how I like it.

That is all.

Your TV list makes me sad. People should have fun with TV!

Though truthfully, for me it's mainly just sound as I try to write, or grade, or mindlessly click on little hearts in ZooWorld on the devil that is Facebook....

Rewatching Glee makes me happy. So does How I Met Your Mother. And I guess I'm sort of looking forward to Supernatural resuming (but not so much as I used to before Season Six.)

And, on another note, I want summer to be here now. Just sayin'....

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

Well, that doesn't even cover the tiny bit of what all I watch on TV - those just happen to be the new shows I tried this season and quit...and the new shows that are coming up here mid-replacement.

I actually find I don't have enough time to watch all the TV I would if I wasn't trying to do things like write and, you know, shower. lol

When I want mindless noise in the background - I can always find a Bones or a Criminal Minds - those shows are on like twelve times a day.

I am enjoying season two of Glee, but nothing will compare to that first season, which was unbelievably good. I find I am more excited about Hawaii Five-O when it airs than I am Supernatural, which is sad. There are bits of each SPN episode that I enjoy, but as a whole - it's just not like it was before when no one talked or moved or answered the phone when SPN was on the TV.

I want summer to be here because I am freezing my ass off, but also...so PSYCH WILL COME BACK TO MY TV!!! I heart that show like a crazy cupid running around shooting people with little poison heart arrows. Yes, I do.

[vikingprincess]

Wow, that's some seriously scary love! :) Maybe I need to try Psych. And Fringe. Eventually.

But it's already hard enough to find time to write every day. I didn't, yesterday.

[dodger-sister.livejournal.com]

Fringe was good - there were a lot of characters I really liked on Fringe - the characters were the best part, imo. I am the kind of girl who likes a lot of stand alones or case files or MotW kind of episodes though, so when Fringe started get way more into its own mythology, it kind of lost me. It went up against something else I watched and it lost out to whatever the other show was, I can't remember now.

But I keep meaning to Netflix it and give it another try.

Psych is so good because it is funny, smartly written, the characters are all lovable even the grouchy ones and you can jump right in without really knowing anything that is going on - flip the channels, see Psych, stop, enjoy yourself! Also, you can watch like six eps in a row and never be bored, because they are all so fricking adorable!

Psych is the most fun ever!

[vikingprincess]

Netflix is made of awesome, isn't it? :)

oh hells yeah! Southland rocks like a thing that rocks. I was so thrilled they managed to keep all the same actors. I was very worried about that.

And Justified! feb 9 can't get here fast enough! I need more Raylan and Boyd. But especially Raylan with those long ass legs and cowboy hat. Timothy Olyphant is a man I would climb like a tree (to steal a phrase from you)

I've not heard of 'Chaos' what station is it going to be on? It sounds good.

I'm sorry to hear you've fell outta love with some of your shows. That's always a bummer. But, it gives more time and tivo space for the new stuff.

Tom Everett Scott went away for a little while but they brought him back, so yay, the full cast is back!! I just finished watching this week's episode and omg, BEN, BEN, BEN!!! (I will admit, I kind of ship Ben/John a little bit.)

Boyd is my crazy reformed criminal boyfriend of awesomesauce. I hope to hell he comes back again this season - do you know if he is? Ha - yes, Raylan is for climbing like a tree and then hanging off of like a monkey!! <--he is good for both of those things, yes he is. My joy that you used that phrase cannot be contained.

"Chaos" looks like it will be on CBS - I hope it is as hardcore as it originally sounded.

You know, first episode of Hawaii Five-O, I did not care for it at all, I was so bored. First episode of Nikita, I was so excited and blown away. First episode of Hellcats, I was like, "Oh this is mindless silly fun, I love it." So I am surprised that of the three new shows I tried, H50 is the only one I kept watching. In fact, I don't even bother to wait until the next day and Tivo-watch it - I just go to my room and watch it when it is on, that is how much I am loving H5O.

Nikita lost my interest a litle bit more each episode and then right before break, they killed the only character I was still highly invested in - (well, I was still invested in Aaron's character but they only show him like 2 minutes each episode, so...blah) - so anyway, they killed the guy and I sat in shock for a minute and then just turned off the TV and knew I was done. I'm not that disappointed about it.

And Hellcats, I was excited for each week, I was ridiculous about that show. I know it's stupid, but that's why I loved it. But when it actually started to piss me off and I found myself thinking, "Screw this, One Tree Hill was better" and then was like, "Yeah, okay, so all I have seen of OTH is first season, why don't I just go get season two of that if I need mindless teen drama?" So I just went and bought it today. Too bad for Hellcats, a show about cheerleaders was right up my alley but that damn lead character makes me want to hit someone. I spent most of the time just being pissed off at the stupid writers because so many fanfic authors could have written a better show (it was basically just a CW RPS AU about college cheerleaders after all.)

Justified will be back soon and I found one new show this year, Hawaii 5-O, that I love, (oh, and The Walking Dead) so I'm good. Plus, Mad Men will be back eventually. And Psych. And right now I'm watching Leverage reruns for the first time, so yay that!

[ranua.livejournal.com]

Leverage re-runs ftw \o/

H5O, I was so stunned by the visuals I'm not sure I caught the plot in the first eps. lol I stuck with it cuz it's a pretty cop show (my fav) and now, woohoo, I love me some Steve/Danno banter.

Haven't had a chance to watch the latest ep of any of my shows. *pouts* I'm hoping to rectify that this weekend.
