Must love TV
From Alesia, the pop culture hound
Okay, here’s the thing. I ADORE TV. When my lawyer friends were telling me how their newly-toddling children would never see a minute of commercial TV, and displaying their DVDs of BEETHOVEN FOR YOUR OVERLY-PAMPERED, EGOCENTRIC, PARENTS ARE THE TYPE WHO WILL ONLY FEED YOU TOFU PANCAKES, LITTLE GENIUSES, I was wondering how I could get the complete set of THE MUNSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY for my kids.
I mean, what kid can claim he or she had a normal childhood who can’t break into song, on demand, with:
. . . A THREE-HOUR TOUR. A THREE-HOUR TOUR. [And a moment of silence for Bob Denver, please. How a man could wear the same shirt and pants for that long and make us love him is a miracle of acting and comedic talent.]
IF NOT FOR THE COURAGE OF THE FEARLESS CREW, THE MINNOW WOULD BE LOST. THE MINNOW WOULD BE LOST.
These days, I have a not-so-secret love affair with Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. I LOVED the very smart P.I. show EYES last season, so of COURSE they yanked it. I can’t WAIT for the Firefly movie SERENITY to hit theaters.
So tell me, while I’m deadlining (and is that even a word? If so, sounds suspiciously like MAINLINING. Or, worse, FLATLINING. All BAD words. Like ulcers in your STOMACH LINING. AARGHH.), PLEASE tell me: what shows are you looking forward to this fall?
hugs,
Alesia

Grey's Anatomy, baby!! Ooh, and Stacked. I'm not much of a TV watcher, so it takes a lot to get me hooked. But, these are winners in my book!

I don't have cable so am challenged in that way. I've enjoyed summer showings of Battlestar Gallactica [sp?] and Wanted.
As for the fall, can't wait for The West Wing, Lost, and Alias [a guilty pleasure]. I will check out Commander-in-Chief and the new Pentagon show starring Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper. Could be interesting. I really liked Eyes too, and feel the same way...if I like it, it gets canned.

House, all the CSIs, NCIS, Monday night myssteries on BBCAmerica (love Waking the Dead and Wire in the Blood), Numb3ers, Las Vegas, Crossing Jordan, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Missing, Jake in Progress, Wild Card ... (hmm, I really do need a life)

Oh, yeah. Forgot about West Wing. I was getting bored with it for a while, but I really like the Jimmy Smits/Alan Alda thing. I like CSI Miami, too, and that ended with a cliffhanger so am looking forward to it.
Alesia, who also needs to get a life. LOL!

Alias. I am such a sucker... but who can resist Syndey and Vaughn? And please-- DID YOU SEE THAT CLIFF-HANGER?!?!?
