TV...again...because..
Oct. 26th, 2006 12:24 amSaw Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and Nip-Tuck last night. Can't really say that much about GG and Nip-Tuck, since I was using them as background noise. During Nip-Tuck, I was making plane reservations for Thanksgiving and Xmas, which was a pain and I really envy people who do not have to do this in order to be with their loved ones and families during the holidays. Yes, I get to go to nice place, but honestly, there are days I wish my parents had retired to New Jersey or upstate New York. The only thing I got from Nip-Tuck is ( Read more... )
[As an aside, my latest addiction is pomegrants. Been eating the things like crazy. Tough fruit to eat, you have to prye it apart, then pick out the kernels - which look like the kernels on corn, except they are bright red, filled with tart/sweet juice and stain everything in sight. Was getting pre-plucked kernels until I discovered that it's cheaper to do it myself. Reason for addiction?
Great cure for heartburn, indigestion and general edgyiness.]
Veronica Mars continues to entertain me more than most people. I like the college years. High school shows tend to bore me, maybe because I'm 39 and can't remember high-school that well and find teenagers generally speaking annoying as hell? Yeah, that would explain it. Doesn't help that the teens are usually played by 20 somethings and so close in age to the people playing their parents, that we start to wonder when the parents actually had them? In high school? That said, I think in some respects VM is doing college years better than other shows have, it is certainly more realistic than other shows. The only show that ever focused on college that I liked was The Paper Chase - which was one of those brilliant shows that got cancelled by the networks, only to be picked up by PBS. LOL! PBS did this twice, the other one was a series that took place in the 1960s during the civil rights movement starring Regina Taylor and Sam Waterson - also dealt with college. Anyhow back to VM.

Okay tired now. Going to bed.
