NOTE: I greatly apologize for the formatting here. I used a partial post from an old entry to create a lot of the formatting for this one, and it seems, from attempting to do that, that they made the HTML checker more twitchy than it ever was before in terms of what tags are and are not allowed, and where they are and are not allowed to be. I'll get around to reformatting this properly at a later date, but simply for the sake of time, and my sanity, and my need for sleep, I'm leaving it as it is for now.
A brief synopsis. I'm not dead, I've just taken a small hiatus from submitting on the site. I've been busy with various things, and more interested in actually watching TV than talking about it.
I've ditched Windfall. The show jumped the shark several episodes back, and I saw it coming for a while. I'm embarrased that I watched for as
long as I did.
I abandoned Angela's Eyes after two episodes. The main character wasn't very likeable. I don't care how paranoid you are, you don't put a tracking device on a guy you're dating. And I can't imagine that someone couldn't actually prosecute for that. I think I would.
I didn't like Eureka, and I fell asleep during the second episode. Too much hokey comedy, not enough good drama. The characters were not very
likeable either. I stopped watching Saved, as well. It wasn't bad, I just decided not to keep watching. I realized that my taste in TV was
starting to...disappear. I was losing my ability to discriminate between shows that were really really good, and shows that were simply okay.
Now onto the real surprise. A few posts back, you can see that I was simply enthralled with Psych. Well, that died after the first episode. I have also abandoned watching that. The whole "I'm a fake psychic" deal got old fast. Really fast. I kept wanting to slap the main character. I don't think I've left out any shows that I stopped watching, although I may have missed one. Now, I enjoyed the pilots for Traveler and Heroes and Studio 60. I watched another pilot for something that hasn't even been ordered to series yet, and I hope it never is. Something about a place in California called Santa Ruiz. Very blah. Very drama. Not a whole lot of interest. It's hard to believe that Bones will be
coming back in less than a month now.
I've continued to watch Kyle XY. While the whole high school aspect annoys me slightly, since I didn't even feel like I belonged in high school when I *was* there, the story continues to get better, and I've heard it's gotten renewed for a second season. I'm getting ready to watch Three Moons Over Milford, to see whether that's any good. The premise sounded intriguing, but, as you can see by the trail of discarded shows behind me, I've said that before and haven't been overly impressed.
I'm loving The 4400, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. And this most recent episode of Monk was the first one of the season that I've truly liked. I hope the show continues to get back at what first made it enjoyable. If it can keep doing that, I'll be very happy.
