My shows, let me pimp them to you...
Apr. 13th, 2008 02:11 pmI 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?

Heroes - I'll only watch it now if the writers have stopped fucking around and actually get down to some *story* and dump the rotten writing for the women on the show.

Like the ep with Kevin Sorbo (who I usually can't stand) as the egomaniac bounty hunter, or Ernie Hudson and Phyllicia Rashad as Gus's parents. Genius!
Another question: does Anwar's character pass now they haven't mentioned her IRA ties for an entire season?
She's still way behind the other characters in terms of my liking her, regardless, but that's independent of that whole business.
