Television - 2008/2009

In addition to True Blood - I thought I'd blog about the other shows I'm enjoying this year.

I just discovered Lie To Me and love it. I like shows that make me think. I also love the Mentalist, Fringe, and the 11th Hour. They all seem to have that singular person who saves the day - might be a theme: a behavioral psychologist, a mentalist, a scientist, and an insane scientist. The fact that they are all flawed people who are always right makes them even more appealing to me.

I also loved My Own Worst Enemy - a very clever well done show that started late and unfortunately didn't get an audience.

I love Life and hope it survives because it is also so well done with engaging characters. I can't get into Life on Mars after having been a fan of the British version but I suspect anyone seeing it for the first time would enjoy it. Sorry to see Eli Stone cancelled. It has been slow this year and I'm not sure why - I just wish it could have had more time.

I got into Lipstick Jungle this season and actually purchased the whole 1st season. I must be a jinx because it was cancelled shortly after I found it. The same thing happened to Pushing Daisies which I found for the first time this year. If you have a favorite show, drop me a note and I'll try not to watch it.
