And it's raining and I might as well rip apart the Fall TV season...

Let's see, I've watched a bit more. Still taping JOURNEYMAN on NBC. Don't know if it's a keeper, but I like Kevin McKidd so will decide later. It's against CSI: MIAMI, which has gotten a bit soapish, but oddly enough, it's still appealing. I tried about two minutes of ABC's CAVEMAN and why on Earth is that dreck not yet extinct? Yeouch, but it is BAD!! I really feel for any TV critic who actually had to sit through all 20 minutes of it (I'm assuming they don't get subjected to commercials). I finally got around to watching LIFE (NBC) and it's appealing, though not a keeper. I guess I've seen too many 'quirky' detectives, but I do like the lead actor. I'm giving PUSHING DAISIES (which at first I felt was an awful premise) another try tonight. It's just so weird, a mixture of the dry British narration of HItchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with a dash of perverse Tim Burton stuff. Hmm, I could do without the singing number they put into tonight's episode though...

I figure tonight is the night for cast changes on CRIMINAL MINDS, which is my 'leave on in the background' show untl CSI: NY airs (which has gotten better, especially since they got Gary Sinise in T-shirts - yes, I can be shallow) ;) CSI is still percolating along, and I don't miss that Sara is going to leave, and I don't care that Sara and Grissom are an item, although there are bits and pieces in the first seven seasons which seem to negate that but oh well, I suppose I watch mostly for William Petersen and the science stuff anyway. WITHOUT A TRACE is still good, E.R. is dragging along, I miss Luka, but I'll psuedo-watch it (tape it, speed search through characters I'm 'meh' about). I gave up on MOONLIGHT on the second episode. I love LAS VEGAS with Tom Selleck (I tape it while I watch STARATE ATLANTIS live) :)

Meanwhile, picked up the DVD of BLACK SHEEP which I will watch this weekend, unless I find a 90 minute block of time before that. Genetically mutated killer sheep! YES!!! :)

I just watched the second Pushing Daisies. Unfortunately, the syrup and the narration and the goofiness have all started to pall. And that song! I fast forwarded immediately. I'm not really finding the bringing people back and then--zap!--funny either. I'm thinking I won't be taping this one next week.

WHY can't they put Las Vegas or Numb3rs or Atlantis or even Men in Trees on some other time? Gak! And I'm afraid the competition is killing SGA.

I just hope SGA survives into a fifth season and Skiffy takes in account the major competition from network fare.
