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?

He is rather mesmerizing, isn't he? I'm starting to wonder if the total lack of chemistry is the point. You can't force someone to love you, especially if you're keeping secrets and doing it because you think it's "destiny" and it's what you're supposed to do, instead of something that comes naturally.

That would, however, require a degree of subtlety rarely seen in television writers... ;)

I never got to watch Blood Ties, but I heard good things, so I'm on the lookout for it to be out on DVD.

It's not the most intellectual of shows, but it's chock full of the pretty, not to mention one episode where the (pretty) vampire leading man is chained up and tortured and has half his clothes ripped off. What's not to love?

I will overlook it if they pull it together when it returns, and also because they gave me a lovely bit of slash fodder with the whole "Molly has Two Daddies" thing.

Well, the comments being made towards the end of the season seemed to indicate that the Heroes PTB were a) listening to what was being said about what wasn't working and also agreed with some of it themselves. Always a pleasant surprise after the Boys at Bridge and their ego trips.
