OK, I'm Hooked
Yes, I enjoyed the premiere of Lost last week and was enjoying it again this week. Then came the last fifteen minutes. That's when it got added to my Must See TV list. Not only am I now intrigued to find out the backstories for all the characters, but that message was one of the scariest things I've seen on TV recently (with the exception of 7th Heaven ;).
Also caught the debut of Kevin Hill tonight. I don't see me getting hooked on the show, but I'd certainly watch it again. I did feel that Kevin seemed to go from 'I don't want this kid' to doting dad too quickly though.
I only caught the first half of Veronica Mars last night since I had Scrubs at 9:30. I think I'll look for one of the repeat viewings because I was finding the episode interesting - especially since they thought outside the box and introduced a character who had money *and* was nice. Plus, it seemed like they curtailed the voiceovers.
I'll probably stick with Jack & Bobby in order to see Bradley Cooper who hopefully will be appearing soon. If not for him, I think I'd wash my hands of the show right now. I really don't care at all for the jumping from present to the future. And Christine Lahti comes off as a raving shrew. I get enough headaches in real life thank you.
And what's up with the fact that so many of the women in the shows I watch are unlikeable? Or am I the only one who thinks Tommy's sorta ex-wife on Rescue Me is a total bitch? She's making me side with a lying, cheating ass! Was I suppose to buy her lame arguement as to why she can't even manage a part-time job? Yeah, sweetie, I wish I had your tough life. :p
Can you tell how exciting my life is? I haven't posted in a week and all I can muster is TV recaps. Well, it's one way to prove I'm not dead. :)

curious
Except I stopped watching Jack and Bobby after the first ep. The flashforwards bugged my ass. Actors playing real people being interviewed sound like actors being interviewed. Never works for me. (they should watch the News Hour. They could learn something).
Plus I haven't watched Rescue Me. Should I?
Yep. It seems far too stilted. It also doesn't help that they, for the most part, cast recognizable actors hence taking away from the documentary feel.

I love the show, but then I'm a long time fan of Dennis Leary. The show can be abrasive and the characters not always likeable. There's also too much of a focus on their sex lives in my opinion (but that may be a selling point for you ;). With only two episodes left in this season, I'd suggest waiting for the inevitable marathon or the DVD release to check it out.
I saw you flicker in and out of chat last night in a ghostlike fashion, so I did wonder. If you'd come back 10 mins later you could have joined in a fascinating discussion of what everyone ate for dinner, and been sexually molested by joools.
Yes, exactly. I don't think he was a great husband by any stretch of the imagination. But, don't try to make him out to be a failure and disapointment one minute and the next your asking him for help and money.
And I love the fact that he's supporting his daughter's relationship with her girlfriend while the Mrs keeps going on about how she doesn't want to encourage this 'phase'.
Oh yeah, I love it too - I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that he hates the Murphy kid :)
And polar bears? Who woulda thunk it?
Side note: Never eat the liver of a polar bear. They are toxic to humans.
The fact that you know that information is sorta scary too.
I think I love this show too. At least until season three when Kate wakes up from a bout of jungle fever to find out two years have past and Jack's married to some native princess whose actually responsible for downing the plane!
Geez, what makes you think that would happen? ;)
Do you want the full feminist rant, or the condensed version?
Condensed version - most shows are written by men, and everyone knows that women are only there to bring strong men down.
I stopped watching 24 because all women characters were evil, whiny, or screwups, or all 3.
