[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGoDTlCwrgc&NR=1I liked the books in The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith a lot when I read them; so I was delighted to discover they had been made into a TV series, and that they would be shown on German TV. So far I have watched the pilot (directed by Anthony Minghella)…
Two summers ago, it was Bones. This summer, it’s Criminal Minds. It seems that when school is out and I have the novel experience of work but no homework, I tend to binge on syndicated crime dramas. Criminal Minds, like Bones, has been around for a while (5 or 6 years) which means there’s a…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoM_H_u7Cqk&NR=1 Glee’s season 2 is coming to an end tonight. Will they win Nationals? I honestly don’t know. They lost last year in the Season finale, so it’s not a shoo-in for national dominance. They’ll be singing original songs again, including the one above. Apparently Charice, the singer who played Sunshine Corazon in two episodes…
What a week for season finales! This week I stayed up later than normal catching series finales. I usually just record the shows that start at 10pm, but this week, I felt compelled to catch them in real time. The week started on Sunday with the finale and reunion show of Survivor. And yes, after…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwnmNETUQeM For those of you who are current with this season of Bones, you know what I’m asking. After last week’s episode (RIP Vincent Nigel-Murray) things are a bit ambiguous as to the current state of Booth and Bones’s relationship. Yes, they spent a night in bed together– but was it platonic? Tonight is…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qu4wQwc6QU I haven’t seen it. And I have no desire to. I’m sure there are better and surer ways to kill a lovely real-life romance for the general public. Divorce. Over-exposure. Super-incompatibility. Okay, there are heaps of ways – but come on. A made-for-TV (or possibly straight-to-DVD) movie? Starring actors with only the barest superficial…
I’m hooked! It’s only been on for a few weeks, and I’ve already set up a series recording for ABC’s new drama Body of Proof. Well, if I’m perfectly honestly, I’ll admit that after watching about 15 minutes of the first episode I was hooked, and set up the series recording while still viewing the…
Underwhelmed? No, I was appalled when I heard the cast announcement for this season. I’d never even heard of a lot of the “stars,” and the ones I had? Horror.I picked Kirstie Alley and Ralph Macchio as early jokes of the season. If you’ve watched the show before, you know what I mean. The star…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKo-GBt5M0U It may be silly, but I really love awards shows– especially the Awards Show of All Awards Shows, the Oscars. I hardly ever see many of the nominated movies (I think this year I’ve seen Inception and Black Swan… and that’s pretty much it), but there’s something so uplifting about seeing these men and…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6hVnTdnWU I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards Sunday night, but I did keep up with the results, and with the New York Times live blog and some of the Twitter reactions. (Side note: Kanye West has to have one of the biggest egos on the planet, but man, can he be funny.) During that time…
