New Season Jitters . . . . .

I am glad I enjoy reading! The new season does not sound all that creative or interesting. SUre, I'll try a few of the new shows; I could be wrong, but I am not holding my breath. Do all the creative writers actually shun television script writing? It seems so. Of course, when a good show, one with... Sign in to see full entry.

I must be a Sadist

for watching that silly new show Psych. The stories are interesting but the plots are so convoluted and stupid. I am probably not going to continue watching it, but the first few episodes were "almost good," so I kept hoping for improvement and growth that never came. Sign in to see full entry.

Psych is Interesting -- But is it Good?

I am not sure yet if I like the new show Psych or not. It has potential, semi-definitely, but I have doubts about the lead actor's acting abilities; he does over act well, however. The case was interesting, but it's a done and overdone plot. The "psychic" gimick just won't last, unless the police... Sign in to see full entry.

Closer

I really enjoy "Closer," not so much for the stories, but for the character of Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh. She is a self-assured woman who thrives in what is depicted as a man's world. She does this not by playing by their rules, but by forcing her rules on them. The character fascinates me... Sign in to see full entry.

Commander in Chief is back

and as good as ever. Why would network executives even consider cancelling such a show? Sign in to see full entry.

Book of Daniel Should wither away and die, quickly!

The show managed to offend Christians, gays, Episcopalians, Catholics, almost everyone except alcoholics and drug users were denigrated on the pilot show. The actors are good actors, so it is surprising they signed on to do such a shallow, uninformed, denigrating show. Perhaps the money was good.... Sign in to see full entry.

Criminal Minds is Fascinating

The characters look into the mental states and use what they find to capture criminals, usually criminals of the worst kind. It is kind of a CSI of the mind and most interesting to watch. Last night, the hostage taking on a train, was another good episode of many. The stories are consistently good... Sign in to see full entry.

Bones

Another grand episode on Bones, and there are now so many CSI type shows to choose from. Most are very good, except CSI Miami. But all the rest are interesting, have good stories and well-devloped, interesting characters. NCIS is also excellent. Am I addicted or what? BTW, will CSI be able to track...

E-Ring

The show, E Ring, is not an award-winner, nor is it particularly well-written. The dialog seems forced, and the acting is marginal. Yet, the look at the politics involved in making life and death decisions is frightening. I am hoping that aspect of the show is totally fictional. Yet........... Sign in to see full entry.
