I ended up watching Touching Evil yesterday instead, and even though I'm not done yet (almost-- at episode ten now), I can't say I'm a fan. I can't find anything wrong with it either. I can't get into it. It's oddly paced but my little synopsis nugget is this: Take Mulder and Scully's relationship without the "I believe"/"I don't" and throw them into a Law & Order. I do enjoy Pruitt Taylor Vince, though. He always plays whacked out people, but he's always a joy.
I lost track of the day entertaining my nephew, who's also on vacation. So after he went to sleep I caught up with TV. Except for tonight's Chuck and last week's Supernatural.
( The Big Bang Theory )
( How I Met Your Mother )
( My Boys )
( Chuck )
( Lost )
( The Office )
I liked The Unusuals. I don't really have anything substantial to say. And I stopped watching Castle because it wasn't interesting me. You've gotta have something other than an actor to interest me, and then my mom stopped watching so I had no reason to sit around when there was other taped shows to be seen.
OH. AND PARTY DOWN. :DDDD I know someone on here was talking about it recently, but I barely remember what day it is, so forgive me when I say I can't remember who. But if you like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you'll probably like Party Down. It starts horrible, but by episode three I was into it, and episode four was amazing. The humor is a bit like The Office, but with the language of Sunny. And the characters all reek of desperation that you can laugh at, just like both those shows. So that's a big recommendation.
Krod Mandoon, however... is a bit too Comedy Central for me. I didn't even recognize Sean Maguire (from Off Centre and The Class), I was just watching because a silly version of a fantasy show seemed like an interesting show. But everyone on the show plays it like it's on Mad TV, with that "wink wink, we're not taking this seriously either," kind of silly acting that I can never really get into (I think that's a good analysis of why I don't think Will Ferrell is funny, too). But I'll probably watch the next two episodes for the hell of it, and then hope it finds an audience (doesn't every show on Comedy Central go on forever, anyway? Besides vehicles for stand-up comedians?)
Does anyone watch Greek or In Treatment? Not that I need another show to watch, but I keep hearing about them and was wondering what was the attraction. But if they're that good...
I'm definitely forgetting something else I wanted to mention. But I guess it'll have to wait.
