Columnist Crackdown
Jan. 14th, 2007 08:39 pmJust a quick one, since the new season of "24" starts in like twenty minutes, with two hours tonight and two tomorrow night, as per usual. We're going to try to watch tonight's and tape tomorrow night's to watch later in the week.
Somehow it seems like this season practically all of our TV watching is Sunday and Monday. "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip" is on Sunday(at least on Canadian channels), as is the Canadian broadcast of "Scrubs", since I keep missing it on Thursday nights. Monday night has been "How I Met Your Mother" and "Heroes", and will now be "24", though I can tell we'll be time-shifting it too--it's either on at 8:00(!!) on the Canadian channels, just before the kids' bedtime, or at 10:00, right opposite "Heroes". And nothing else for the rest of the week until "Lost" returns next month.
We enjoyed watching "Day Break" in the "Lost" slot, but apparently that's bit the big one. I'm sure it'll be out on DVD someday, though. The Groundhog-Day-meets-wrongfully-accused-cop thing was kind of cool, and Adam Baldwin(playing someone slightly nicer than Jayne) and Moon Bloodgood(from "Eight Below") had pretty good parts. I liked the implications that he could actually manage to change some things from day to day, rather than having to do everything from scratch every morning.
I was certainly enjoying it better than "The Nine", which was starting to wilt after a promising beginning. The five to ten minutes of the hostage situation didn't do enough to energize the ordinary-people-thrown-together/pulled-apart plotline, which was starting to meander. The show was turning into "Six Degrees", which I also kind of enjoyed, but then it had more mystery to it. Still, neither of them were "Lost", or even "Day Break".
We probably won't bother trying any of the new midseason shows unless there's a hell of a lot of buzz around one of them. And even then it may just go on our DVD list.
Of course, I still just want to spend my evening playing Sims 2. (David Harp was able to get Brandi Broke to move in with him, but her kids didn't seem to come with her. WTF? I didn't save it, in case I need to try to fix relationships with her kids before they'll join her. Or maybe I could marry him into the family, but I'm really not that keen, for some reason, on the thing where the husband takes the wife's name if she's the one to propose marriage...)
