Mid Season Tv Blog!
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: Must still see tv
Topic: Review Time

Its almost the end of the year, my fave shows are being taken off for either reruns or ooey gooey Christmas specials. (barf gag. ok I'm done now). This is the perfect time to talk about the shows I watch or have stopped watching.

CSI: LAS VEGAS -  At the end of last season it was revealed that Grissom and Sara Sider are sharing more personal airspace. This put me in a slight despair because some relationships on some tv shows might actually help kill it off (for more info see this page I made ages ago on tv coupling. Yes its slightly dated, http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4860/couplesroot.html) . I thought all of a sudden Grissom would turn goo goo eyed and that would make me sicker than most of the murder victims on the show.

But so far so good, there is very small "shipper" things going on other than Sara saying she wouldn't wait up for him. Keep it this way. Fanfic writers can write stories about Sara/Grissom on their own time. No complaint from me.

Shark:  Pretty much abandoned that after two weeks. See previous article for more details. Turns out liking one or two stars won't make me stay with a show unlike...

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: which I am still watching. Its a good quality show, and I love it. (And no it has nothing to do with the fact that I crush on one of its male leads.)

Brothers and Sisters: Never tried, forgot it existed.

Heroes: The other Monday night show I love. Its gotta be a good show in order to draw me away from WWE on a regular basis (ok and 24 too will do that when it returns.) As long as no one pops on spandex, its fine with me.

Boston Legal: Have been bad and mostly missing some episodes this season. One show had not one, or two but four Star Trek alumni on it (The two regular leads plus  Ethan "Neelix" Phillips and Armin "Quark" Shimerman).

Law and Order : All three series made casting choices that cheesed me off. I know, cast changes are part of the shows territory but why is it people I like?

Dennis Farina is off the original series. Replaced by woman I can't remember. Have stopped watching it mostly because the stories are too often "ripped from the headlines" instead of original.

Criminal Intent: Jamey Sheridan is gone now replaced by Eric Bogosian. (you also get to see him on Special Victims unit). Plus Courteney Vance is gone replaced by, I dunno since I can't remember.

Annabella Sciorra, Chris Noths partner on Criminal Intent when Vincenbt D'Onofrio isnt on was also replaced. She hasnt really made an impression on me. I tune out when she speaks.

This other casting change was inescapable. When Mariska Hargitay had her baby it was natural that she would miss a few episodes of Special Victims Unit, but the woman they had in her place made me wish she was back sooner. I called her "Psuedo-Benson" anytime I saw her. Oh well, at least one good episode with Jerry Lewis made up for that. (**cough**EMMY**cough**)

WWE: There seems to be a lot of missed chances this year for them.

For example, they had K-fed on the show. He just got divorced from Britney-poo. Wrestling Diva Lita has retired, pretty much ending one of the "premiere" couples of wrestling (barf barf gag). What to do? Kill two birds with one stone, and pair up K-fed with a Diva and make the new premiere couple of RAW! Who to choose? Mickie James? Too much like Britney. Victoria? Potentially psycho. The sky is the limit.

Thankfully K-Fed hasnt seen WWE airtime since the last pay per view he was at.

Countdown With Keith Olbermann: Perfect, don't change a thing. Maybe less Michael Musto in the New Year, ok big guy?

Okay, what else...oooh I'm a fan of Inuyasha now. Great anime.
