My shows, let me pimp them to you...

[graculus]

I try my best not to get sucked into stuff, and indeed my golden rule is usually that if I can't make it through the pilot episode then I'm pretty safe. However, there are a few shows that I'm borderline obsessive about and in relation to which that series of tubes known as the Interweb helps me sustain my habit.

These are the current ones:

ReGenesis - is it my imagination, or is David getting way less 'action' this season? Also, Bob angst! Eeee!
Boston Legal - Alan/Denny is love!
New Amsterdam - I think I am mesmerised by Nikolaj Whatsisname's oh-so-sharp-and-pointy nose, which helps me overlook the lack of chemistry between him and 'the one'
Eli Stone - I can't help myself, it's just so dumb and yet I am compelled
Dirt - I love Ian Hart. 'Nuff said.
30 Rock - never thought I'd like Alec Baldwin in something, but...

Stuff I'm desperately waiting for the new season (or, in the case of some channels, stupid second half-season) of:

Life - unexpectedly at the top of the list, after I got smitten last season
Psych - Shawn/Gus is love!
Burn Notice - even though I want to force-feed Gabrielle Anwar with the pies Bruce Campbell needs to stop eating
Blood Ties - shiny!
The Closer - another unexpected addition
Entourage - more shiny!
Dexter - no idea where a third season is going to go....
Heroes - hope they can pull it back together after the shambles they made of most of season 2

There's probably other stuff out there I'm obsessive over as well, but these are the main contenders at the moment... I'm still dling Numb3rs in the hope that one day I will summon up the enthusiasm to catch up with the 6 or so season 4 eps I'm behind on, but who knows when that might happen?

Some of those are showing on UK channels, or are at least available on dvd over here so you can rent the first season and see how you get on: including, but not restricted to, Psych, 30 Rock, Blood Ties and Entourage.

I developed such an antipathy towards Sara on the original CSI that I can't bear to watch the show any more, though I'd previously seen about 6 seasons' worth and I actively avoid the other variants of it. Some weeks I have definitely watched more stuff that has come through the tubes than on my own tv. :(

And s1 of The Closer is out on dvd here as well. Somehow that one fell off the list.

I'm absolutely with you on Sara. She's so whiny all the time, and the crush on Grissom was just too much. The first time I watched CSI I think I saw 4 seasons then gave up. We're at S4 on the Living repeat showing at the moment, and I'm beginning to remember why I gave up - too much formula again. I did watch the two eps at the end of S5 with Nick buried alive, but otherwise I'll be getting all new eps now. I'm hoping I'll just be able to ignore Sara - maybe fast forward through her scenes and solve that problem fairly easily.
