[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhG_WImjnjM When it comes to movies and TV, I’m usually pretty copacetic. I’m picky about what I’ll watch, but after that I have low standards, and I’m generally pretty good about accepting things as they are. However, when I encounter something that I love – no, love – then I become obsessive. I watch it,…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB9dgj8uWA4&feature=related It’s official: Right now, I am extraordinarily jealous of anyone who lives in the UK. Because you guys get to watch the second series of “Sherlock”, and over here in North America we have to wait six whole months. I think it was here at After Hours, a year ago, that someone put me…
It all began because of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior. See, this fall I sat down to watch it the same as usual and – it wasn’t there. Unbeknownst to me it had been quietly cancelled at the end of last year. This tiny, surprisingly unimportant event has changed how I watch television. Now I don’t…
We’re a few episodes into the seventh season of Bones, and last season ended on a huge cliff-hanger and game changer: Bones’ announcement of her pregnancy with Booth’s baby. Their will-they-or-won’t-they tension has been hotly debated for six seasons, and didn’t actually end when they did finally get together. there are still a lot of…
About once a year I find myself the victim of a character crush. In the past I’ve fallen for such notables as Spock from Star Trek and Luke from Star Wars. When it happens, it comes on me suddenly and it normally requires a perfect set of ingredients. My personal recipe is: Must not be…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLTslnnIAuc Between this season and last, Glee lost some thirty percent of its viewing audience. That’s quite a chunk of people abandoning ship. Right now I am part of the seventy percent that stayed. But I can honestly say I am eyeing the greener pastures of Glee-free living more and more with every episode. This week’s snooze…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rga4rp4j5TY Generally, there’s TV Sandy and Romance Sandy and rarely do the two meet. Most of the time, my taste in TV (which is kind of edgy) precludes my getting attached to the usual Lifetime or Hallmark Channel “romance” movies. True Blood? A series based on one of my favorite romance series? How often does…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qqojuj1zoU I have become totally besotted with the New Girl. It’s a half-hour sit-com starring Zooey Deschanel as a girl just out of a relationship who moves in with 3 guys. She’s quirky and sort of weird and the guys do not get it. (As someone living in a house with 6 girls and 1…
I rarely watch television anymore. I just can’t seem to relate positively to most of the popular shows. Having been through a few medical procedures and operations, I don’t care to watch hospital dramas, and frankly, House just plain old scares me. The same for the CSI’s after the one hold up at a 7-11…
Every day during my freshman year in college, 12 noon marked a magic time. A huge group of us would crowd into a friend’s room in our dorm and watch All My Children. I’d never seen it before I went to college, and haven’t watched it on a regular basis since then. Still, I felt…
