all hail my DVR!

Okay, so I'm catching up on shows for the week I was gone and this week. Here are my thoughts on what I've seen so far (and some of you might have heard this already in other comments I've made):



Chuck - Fun show, but can it really work for a whole season? Seems like it might have made a better 90 minute movie. I like all the actors though. I'm watching it for the actors because the plots are full of cheese.

Reaper - See the above; very cute concept but not really a lot of substance there. But the actors all amuse me, especially the devil. So I will keep tuning in.

Pushing Daisies - okay, I've only watched the pilot. It feels like something out of a Roald Dahl book as interpreted by Tim Burton while he was on some sort of anti-depressant. I like the actors, especially the main guy. The girl reminds me a lot of Zooey Deschanel (in my mind, I keep calling her the Poor Man's Zooey). jimithingy was worried about the constant narration. I'm hoping as the season goes on the voice over man will back off a little.

House - what a pleasant surprise!!! I am loving this season of House. I love goofy!House and silly!Wilson. I was tired of Foreman/Cameron/Chase so I don't mind seeing House just run around and be silly. But now that Foreman was fired from his new job, will he show up again at the hospital? I hope not. :\

Heroes - wake me when Kristen shows up because this season so far has been snooze-fest. Not a whole lot I can say here that has not been said already. And I know the guy who created Heroes claims that he's never read an x-men comic but dude, pick one up because you are ripping them off left and right and you clearly think its something new. Maybe you could get a few pointers. *gets into her Nissan and drives away*

Bionic Woman - I watched the pilot. Twas very meh. Heard very negative things about episode 2 so I keep putting off watching it. I just want to see Katee. *sigh*

Office - you know, I doubted that Jim/Pam would work once it happened. I was so wrong to doubt. I love them even MORE! Tonight's episode "Launch Party" was hilarious! Andy's song at the end was great. Michael is still painful to watch, but everyone else just cracks me up.

30 Rock - I now love Tina Fey. She's just too funny all the time. She has such a good ear for writing dialogue that sounds like people speak. I mean, tonight she said "my internet was being weird!" and I just cracked up because it sounded like something we would say. So many shows fumble when it comes to sounding natural. And Will Arnett was on so BONUS! I <3 30 Rock.

Dexter - I've only watched the first episode of this season but boy did I miss this show! Michael C. Hall is just so good as Dexter. Fantastic cast all around. And OMFG they found the bodies!!! I cannot wait to see where this season goes!

I have Dirty Sexy Money on the DVR to watch. We didn't realize that Nate (from Six Feet Under...I can't remember his real name and I"m too lazy to look) was in it, so we'll watch it for Nate. I've been hearing a very positive buzz about it.

I have to say, so far I am loving Pushing Daisies. I didn't watch the pilot until a friend of mine from work told me how good it was, so I checked it out on the ABC website (I need DVR!), and now I'm hooked! I love how colorful everything is, it kind of reminds me a little of Amelie. I personally really enjoy the narration, it gives everything that storybook feel I think. And I thought the same thing about the resemblance to Zooey Deschanel! I hope it doesn't end up getting cancelled, although it probably will :/ I guess I'm just a little worried it's too quirky to make it. We'll see!

ABC seems to have put a LOT of money into promoting the show so I'm hoping they will stick with it a bit longer. They have a better track record than Fox ;)

Oooh, yes, you're very right about 'Amelie'! I haven't watched that in forever, and I own it on DVD! But the resemblance is definitely there!

Yeah, screw Fox!
