Have we mentioned Bullshit is airing new episodes? That took forever imo (and one was on BOOBIES).
Where the hell is Lucky Louie? Don't Chappelle me, CK.
WTF can't Bullshit be on HBO? It is not reason enough on its own to subscribe to Showtime. |

In honor of The Office returning in style, I present this. This is the kind of thing for which YouTube was made. Awesome! |

That new Jeff Goldblum show, Raines, is pretty damn good.

I wouldn't say damn good, but it has promise. However given that it's on Friday nights I'm not sure it's going to survive past its inaugural season. I do like the fact that he's not actually seeing and talking to "ghosts". The original promos for the show made it seem like it was detective show meets Sixth Sense/Ghost Whisperer/Tru Calling/Medium/et al but that's not actually what's going on. |

Nope, he's just the "crazy detective", that's his "thing". I've liked the couple of episodes I've seen. I was disappointed by the Friday night switch though. How many nights are actually viable for new shows once Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and Deal or No Deal are on? |

Painkiller Jane was beyond aweful. Drive was pretty good.

What can I say, I'm a big Jeff Goldblum fan.
Really, if they made a show with Jeff Goldblum and Tim Curry where Jeff was a scientist and Tim was a sociopath, it might just be the last thing I ever watch.

I can see them doing this... Only they would be a gay couple and Rutger Hauer would be their therapist...

I wish I didn't like Drive as much as I did. It's like a scripted, high-def, Amazing Race. Also, Nathan Fillion delivers crafty one-liners.
Interesting to see how they stretch it out.

2nd'd on the Painkiller Jane awfulness. Also wasn't really impressed with the Stargate season premiers.
I liked Drive, but don't see how they will be able to keep it up.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I can't even express how bad Painkiller Jane was. It's like it was written by retarded monkeys. On the other hand Drive, while completely ridiculous, was a lot of fun. I'm a huge fan of Nathan Fillion anyway, so that didn't hurt. Drive is like a silly but fun popcorn movie on TV. |
Over and out.

It needs Bruce Campbell in there somewhere to be complete. Maybe he's their smarmy neighbor. |

By the way:
Opinions on the latest Sopranos episode?
I liked it. A return to mob drama, while cooking up some nice interpersonal dysfunction. An important death, and it seems we'll have fun politics out of New York.
It's too bad Meadow is going to be a doctor. I was nursing a secret hope that she would end up in law school, have a change of morals, and wind up taking over her father's empire.
If you can't tell, tax season is over tomorrow so I have time and energy to post and what not. Just have to tell someone they owe $280,000 to Uncle Sam and I'm home free!

We've got the Tudors loaded up on the DVR but haven't gotten to them yet (and we need to, the HD episodes are big).
Has anyone been watching the great America at a Crossroads that's been on PBS via Frontline? Two nights ago they had a bunch of soldier-created content and last night they looked into the sects as gangs. Last night's in particular was amazing, just incredible footage. One 'highlight' was our guys working with the iraqi police to find a weapons stash, while the IP were talking on camera about how it was a tiny stash and the real stash was with some mullah one of the guys followed. Nobody there spoke iraqish, so it wasn't translated until the editing stage.
Must-see tv, up there with Spike Lee's joint on New Orleans. The stuff the mainstream media /should/ be focusing on.
Also, SG-1 and Atlantis are airing again on Sci-Fi.

The Sopranos is ok. I didn't really enjoy last season, and think this season so far is much better. The show is done though, should have been over by now. I love the actors but the scripts just aren't grabbing me much. What else is there to do but end it?
The Riches has me hooked.
We got an HD TV for ourselves for Christmas, but only get about 6 HD channels. Living Planet on Discovery is awesome.
The Shield is the best show on TV.
About to give up on Lost, it's just pissing me off way too much.
Missed too many Heroes. Now I'm going to rent it on DVD so I can catch it next season (assuming there is one).
Want to see the Tudors but don't get Showtime. Another DVD to rent.
Rome enthralled me. What an excellent series that was.
House is becoming repetitive. Would like to see Hugh Laurie on an FX show.
24 is my favorite show to hoot at.

Liked it. I like the mob stuff and Tony actually having a worthwhile session with Melfi (and being less of a douchebag) a lot more than the boring family stuff. Phil is going to start hurting people I think. I also am a little displeased at the de-emphazising of Meadow. Watched the first episode of The Tudors. Didn't like it. Boring. (Maybe I've read/watched too much Shakespeare) |

(Maybe I've read/watched too much Shakespeare) New York is going to be a nightmare. And I bet Tony is going to play that situation to its fullest. Spoilers: Good send off to Johny Sacs. Little Carmine entertains me, they way he can switch back and forth between being almost wise and a complete idiot. Phil is sort of one note, and he really comes into his own only when he goes on the warpath. I like the way Christopher's character has grown. Tony and Carmelia fall back on old behavior soooo often, like the first episode, with Tony getting sly backhanded revenge on Bobby or Carmelia externalizing her own emotional conflicts on to other people. Meadow is always a character that comes in, seems to be right in it, and disappears again with her plot threads seemingly discarded. AJ is just there for idiot value, I think.... Need more Paulie! Anyone know what lake they were supposed to be at in the Adirondacks? If it's that close to Montreal, that's right in my neck of the woods. |

I didn't really think The Tudors was all that awesome. Needs... something. I've seen worse, no doubt. Wife likes it, though.

I've been watching Dresden Files. I like it. I don't know why. I think the season is over, though. Maybe. I hope Dexter comes back. I miss him.

I want Dexter back too. But I don't want them to bring it back and fuck up the goodness w/ the original season by stretching the story. |

Oh, naked, well that does have its place but I found a fascinating piece of cinema on the internet last night that should have plenty of replay value. I was hoping you would say that Sam Neil was joined by other actual actors.
