It's season 2 episode 2 - called "Some Assembly Required" - some dead football player Frankenstien type dude is trying to assemble a "bride" from some cheerleaders. I'm at the football game when someone gets kidnapped and everybody looks concerned. :)

24 is fun, when I am at my parents' house using the treadmill it is perfect to watch.

My faves are still Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Pushing Daisies (a hot male lead plus Kristin Chenoweth PLUS Ellen "Suddenly Semour" Greene? So wonderful) is cute too (ABC done good these days!).

30 Rock is even funnier if you work for GE.

Weeds has some of the best writing on TV.


I thought the first season of Heroes was pretty well written. I'm not gonna talk about stuff that's gone off the air, but there's been good writing on some recently departed stuff (Alex mentioned some, and I particularly agree on the HBO shows)


I don't watch TV ... but I will rent series DVDs of highly praised series. I just finished Heroes, and I may try some Smallville (though, not having seen any, there's too many seasons to catch up on). I'm not sure if I'm gonna bother with the 3rd season of Lost - I hear it went seriously south.

Someone suggested I stream Pushing Daisies from abc.com, but it means I'd still have to keep up with episodic TV. I much prefer to simply wait, and watch an entire season over a few days on DVD.


So keep the recommendations coming folks.


What seasons of 24 should I skip??

Obviously the writer's strike won't affect a non-TV watcher like me ... but I'm also glad that some series will get more than a week or two on the air to develop a style and perhaps a following before they are unceremoniously yanked from the schedule. A product shortage could be just the thing to ironically result in some good television.

Some of the picketers at Disney were wearing Mickey gloves.
:D

We had some people at Universal today who were surprised that the theme park was open, because the news kept saying that all the studios are shutdown, and the sky is falling.

I will have to look for that.

Having just caught up on all 6 episodes from season 2 today...I have to say one of my favorite dramas on TV is Brothers & Sisters. With the exception of the pilot episode, the writing has been wonderfully done and the sibling banter is as smart and funny as anything on TV.

It also isn't suffering from Heroes' sophomore slump...which is/was our other favorite new show last year. It just seems to be getting better and better.

I'll second that - I adore that show. I also love "The Riches" with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard, although they are on hiatus right now and probably for a bit longer now.

Actually it got much better as season 3 went on and by the end I was a full fangirl once more - a great recovery over the suckitude towards the end of season 2.
