TV Update

We are still getting over the disappointment that Studio 60 has been taken off (grrr NBC), and we watched the last 3 episodes  last week. They were good, and it looked like there might be a reconciliation between Matt and Harriet in the last 5 seconds. I guess we’ll never know, unless NBC kills off The Black Donnelley’s and brings back Studio 60.

 And talking about The Black Donelley’s, I just couldn’t be bothered to continue after episode two.  I just didn’t care anymore, and it was all filmed in the dark, which I find very irritating.  I have also given up on Six Feet Under. I had twenty episodes stored on the Tivo, and I started to watch on Saturday night and my mind was wandering (probably didn’t have anything to do with the margarita’s I had been sipping all afternoon with Mrs Names) and I realised that I didn’t cared about the Fishers anymore either. So I deleted them all. Gone. 20 hours of my life given back.

 Don’t worry, I still have plenty to watch. Marc and I have started to watch The Riches on FX , which is pretty good. We have only watched the first episode, and have two to catch up on, but we liked it. We are also watching Dirt on FX, and the season finale is tonight, it’s “The One Where Courteney and Jennifer Kiss”. Jennifer Aniston is going to play a rival tabloid editor to Courteney Cox’s Lucy Spiller and at the end they have a peck on the lips.

On Saturdays we are watching Robin Hood on BBCAmerica. It’s entertaining, and like most British shows, really well made. I think it’s aimed at a younger crowd than us, but amazingly people over 40 can still enjoy TV.

I watched the first episod of Dancing With the Stars last Monday, only to see if Heather Mills’ leg flew off. It didn’t.  If anything exciting happens on that show in the future, I’ll be able to catch it on YouTube.

I’m still watchingGilmore Girls, American Idol, Lost, Jericho, Survivor, Amazing Race, Brother’s and Sisters, Earl and Grey’s Anatomy.  Six Degree’s is back on Fridays and I have watched the first two espisodes of October Road, which is shallow but entertaining. The jury is still out on that one.

Beautiful Weather

Yesterday and today it’s in the 70’s – yay!! We can have the windows open. That’s a big deal over here to be able to open your windows. There are probably only 6 weeks in the whole year that you can open them because it’s eiter too hot, too cold, or too much pollen falling from the trees in the spring time. The kids were able to sit outside all afternoon yesterday!!
