I've been a member of TV.com for 3 years now, and only recently have I decided to get into blogging and chatting on the boards, it's all a bit random to be honest, so bear with me on my first ever entry....
So, to start off...
========================================
Currently Watching on TV
Grey's Anatomy Season 3 is well underway over here in the UK. Don't Stand So Close to Me was the last episode I watched, hopefully the show can maintain my liking. Even though most of the cast are a bit annoying I still find myself hooked on the show.
I'm totally falling in love with Dexter, I find the show absolutely fascinating and impossible to stop watching, I guess the darker side of me is what's attracted to this show. I'll definitely carry on watching.
Even though alot of people have spoken badly about it I decided to give Dirt a chance, I think mainly out of loyalty to Friends and Courtney Cox, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I'll be honest and tell you it's notfantastic, it's good, I've only watched one episode so far and there's definitely potential there so I'll get back to you when I've watched the other few epi's on my Sky+ (the best invention since TV).
Brother's and Sister's reminds me alot of The OC. I love shows that revolve around a family, it makes the show and it's character's so much more relatable. I know Brother's and Sister's isn't exactly groundbreaking or original, butfor me it's just an enjoyable, feel-good show that anyone can watch. Although the inclusion of politics in the show is one that not many shows do.
The sixth season of Scrubs began airing awhile ago, and to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with it. I'm not laughing at it as much as I used to, there doesn't seem to be anything fresh about it anymore, it seems as though they are running out of idea's. Hopefully the season will get better as it goes on.
========================================
Programmes I've Recorded But Yet to Watch
Another show I've been wanting to watch out of loyatly to Friends is Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, With Matt Perry being one of my favourite actors I have high hopes for this show, one of the problems is though that I know the show has been cancelled so I just hope that my reluctancy to connect with the characters doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the show.
I tried to record Ghost Whisperer when it first started on E4 last year but my Sky+ decided to annoy me and wouldn't let me play it when I eventually got around to watch it, annoyingly the repeat had gone so I din't really want to start watching from the 2nd episode so I left it. Thankfully abc1 has decided to start showing it nightly so now I can watch it, hopefully my interest in the show was justified
Annoyingly season3 of Losthad started to show whilst I was in the middle of Season 2 on DVD, but luckily Sky One has started to show it weekly again so I don't have to wait for it to be out on DVD hurrah! After a so-so Season 2 I have high-hopes for the 3rd season.
========================================
Currently Watching on DVD
Supernatural Season 1 - I never watched Supernatural when it was shown on TV, I took a chance and bought it on DVDwhen I saw it on offer on Amazon. I'm only a few episodes in at the moment, it seems more episodic than story-arc driven, which I don't normally like in most hour-long shows, but for some reason it works for this show. I just wish there was a female season regular as all the male testosterone is getting to me.
Will & Grace Season 3 - One of my favourite seasons of Will & Grace. The thing I love about the show is that I can watch the episodes over and over and I still laugh at the jokes.
========================================
Recent DVD Purchases
Ally McBeal Season 1 - After seeing her in Brother's and Sister's I was quite impressed by Calista Flockheart and so I decided to check her out on IMDB, after noticing Ally McBeal in her credits I checked it out on here. Seeing it was made by the same person who made Boston Legal I knew it would be of the same caliber, and also finding it online for under a tenner was a tiny factor in the purchase.
House Season 1 - Another DVD I found on offer for less than a tenner, I decided to get it just to see what all the fuss is about.
Arrested Development Season 1 - This was a show I came across here on TV.com and noticed all the good reviews it had, and being a person who's always interested in discovering new shows I decided to buy it.
I'll give you my opinions on these when I eventually get round to watching them :).
========================================
So, there you go, everything that's happening in my TV life right now. Fell free to comment and also I'd appreciate anyone recommending me some shows as I'm always on the lookout for new TV shows.
Take it easy,
Marc
