What I Saw During My Summer Vacation
Sep. 15th, 2010 03:35 pmWe're quickly stepping into the fall season of TV so I thought I'd leave some quick thoughts on my summer TV shows that have already or are coming to an end sometime this month.
( White Collar, Covert Affairs, Rizzoli and Isles, Sherlock, The Glades, Psych, Warehouse 13 )

These Shows are Killing Me
Jul. 18th, 2010 02:33 pmAll of these new shows/summer shows are flooding my TV watching time. I've even tried to resist some of these shows and it's impossible for me not to watch. Like Covert Affairs, I wasn't planning on watching but the preview was awfully tempting, the music they tied with it is catchy, and then watching the pilot I couldn't help but have fun. It's definitely show that you have to let go of reality a bit, but I think a critic labeled it correctly as "Escapist Fun".
I've also been following Allison Scagliotti on Twitter ever since she showed up on Smallville as part of the Wonder Twins and as a result learned that she was on a Syfy show called Warehouse 13. Since then i'd been meaning to watch the show and when the S2 premiere arrived two weeks ago I decided that was a great jump on point. So far it's been an interesting show and I don't feel like I've lost much by not seeing the first season. The problem comes with the fact that it's on a Tuesday (just like Covert Affairs) and now I find myself with a night filled with 4 hour long (dramas?) to watch: Warehouse 13, Covert Affairs, NCIS & White Collar.
The other show that's sucking me in is Rizzoli & Isles on TNT which is pretty much like the other hour long detective/criminal investigation/procedural shows but focusing around one detective & one medical examiner and their friendship. At this point I'm watching so many damn shows like this type that I try to stay away but one way or another a show ends up in the background distracting me from doing anything productive.
And I still haven't had a chance to catch up on anything ------ WAIT NOT TRUE!!! I've been watching Season 1 of Avatar the Last Airbender. I only have two episodes left until it's done and I absolutely adore the show like I knew I would. I'll have to keep a lookout for deals on the next two season sets and I'll write up some thoughts on the show like how surprised I am with the shippyness of the show so early on its life.
