Hollywood's Writers' Strike - Page 7

ok, maybe I'll check it out.

Oh, and despite our reputations, MBC and I like Weeds because it is a great show ... not merely because it's about one of our favorite pastimes.

Just wait for the zombie season!

Gardening?

My two favorite tv shows are Modern Marvels on History Channel, and Sunrise Earth on Discovery HD Theater.

Another plug for Pushing Daisies! Watch this show!

This is the only new show this year I really like, and one of the few I bothered to watch the pilot for. The writing is great, the cast is great, the look is great. I just worry it's too good, and it'll be canceled.

Ugh, I watched an episode of Pushing Daisies last night .. and while I love the concept and the art direction (and the lead is a cutie pie of unstandard type), I hate the forced quirkiness of the show and the strained zany tone.

Too bad, I had high hopes for this one. I can see why people like it ... but shows that try to be quirky (as opposed to just being quirky) really repulse me.

But whew, I was almost back to watching TV again. Dodged a bullet.

After watching the first couple of episodes of every new scripted TV show this season, I have now deleted the TiVo season passes to all but three of them: Chuck, Life, and Dirty Sexy Money.

I will be sad when they run out of new episodes. Let's hope this strike doesn't last too long.

Rumor has it that a few actors and voice talent folk may be joining the strike.
Could be interesting.

I would say all but the first. That was really the only must-see. Season 2 is fine. After that it started going downhill and last year was terrible. I don't think I can watch it this season.

It's silly fluff, but I'm still watching Reaper.
