TV Chez Graculus

Just in case anyone was wondering (though I'm going to tell you anyway!) - what's hot:

Boston Legal - oh, what's not to love? See icon for details! :P

Bones - sure, it's like AU episodes of Angel, where he joined the FBI instead of being a vampire, fighting crime alongside Dr Autism!MarySue, but the geeks...

Veronica Mars - but there's not enough Logan/Weevil slash out there! :(

House - teetered on the edge of annoying the crap out of me at the start of this season but managed to pull it back somehow.

Criminal Minds - even if I keep having Dead Like Me flashbacks with Rube Gideon thingy the profiler...

Wanted - possibly the most idiotic copshow on tv, but somehow I love all of them, especially Eddie, who is my skeezy favourite.

Numb3rs - or at least it would be, if I ever got around to watching the eps I haven't seen yet... *sigh*

Supernatural - like the show, don't see why everyone's so smitten with it though... like Dean best, even if that's playing against type for me since he's not the geek. ;)

What's not:

Navy NCIS - even the lovely DMc was not enough to make me stick with season 2. I figured once I was essentially fast-forwarding past any scene that didn't include either Ducky, McGee and/or Abby, it was time to quit.

Lost - failed to keep my interest into season 2, when I found I was starting to hope bad things would happen to all of the characters...

The Inside - oh, spork me now. I managed to get through the pilot episode but lost the will to live soon after...

There are probably others in the latter list but maybe I'm in denial? *ponders* Haven't decided where Battlestar Galactica season 3 is likely to end up, though I have a feeling it's about to jump the shark. And , no xochiquetzl I have no idea where all the Starbuck-hate is coming from, except that she's not rutting with Apollo, since she's hardly barefoot and pregnant on New Caprica.

NCIS got better as I went through the seasons, actually working in some character background and development! s2 was better than 1, and, not wishing you to be spoiled (spoilt?) in any way, but season 3 has a breath of fresh air which cuts through the Tony-ness of season 1. People get a chance to act! I even warm to Tony (a little) based on the episode he gets in each season, and McGee gets a very good episode in season 3. I've been re-watching the series and forgot how much I wanted to slap Kate and the Kate-and-Tony show. But I do still enjoy it and do recommend it.

I've not seen Bones, is it worthwhile me trying to find a download source for it? Bear in mind that Angel was my least liked character in the Buffy/Angel series and I was never sure whether that was Angel, or DB's acting skills.

I liked season 2 of NCIS, it was season 3 that made me want to stab someone with the introduction of first Ziva and then Gibbs former-love interest. Bleurgh. Though I would happily have put Kate on a box and lined her up with Tony at the end of season 2 so we could have made good use of that bullet...

And I expect Bones will be back around again on Sky once season 1 has run its course, if the channel do their usual. I was never a big fan of DB here but he's actually okay and the supporting cast are very entertaining (though the Dr MarySue can be a bit vexing at times).
