FeedNew TV series that I fancy … and don’t
Monday, October 15 2007
The ones I do like are:
Mad Men - I LOVE this show. LOVE IT!! Very well made, excellent dialog, smart, subtle, ironic, great acting with no clear & obvious ending.
Life - yes I know another cop show but this cop was sent to to jail for crime he didn’t do so he has a score to settle. He got lots of $$$ from a settlement, behaves independently.
Carpoolers - 4 dudes carpool to work. Funny sitcom.
The IT Crowd - hilarious! Second season much better then the first one.
Americans Next Top Model - season 9 and are still going strong. Even though it is predicable (the make-over ep was nothing special ;( ) the show still has IT. Heather to win!!
Chuck - an action film shorten to a TV ep 
And it is about a geek being a hero
Bionic woman - not completely sold on this one yet. The lead actress is slight dull. Starbucks from Battlestar Galactica is in it = rocks
The ones I don’t like:
Journeyman - it is based in SF (yay), the guy from Rome (yay) but it is dull and don’t have special chemistry.
Pushing Daises - quirky a la Ugly Betty style but I have not warmed to this show. Maybe if I continue to watch but uncertain if I will.
Gossip girl - ahem I read the books :sheepish: so I don’t think the TV series will be better.
Tell me you love me - about a 2 or 3 couple with almost too real couple problems. I use TV to distract me for real life.
Damages - started good but has lost tempo. More watching this to find out who did what. And Glen Close is in it - I love Glen Close.
My other shows are Desperate Housewives (still good), The Closer (season ended), Numb3rs, Reno911!, Weeds, Ugly Betty.
What is your take on these shows? Or do you have any other shows that you like or don’t like? Plz let me know

Off all those, I’ve only watched (And watch) Bionic Woman and Numb3rs. I loved Numb3rs Season 1 a lot, after which it’s become rather too complicated to follow (I missed out on Season 2 so maybe that’s the flaw).
Bionic Woman is adding too many mysterious elements to itself too quickly, and sometimes I do feel like its crap but chick fights are cool, lol
I watch Prison Break and Heroes apart from these and PB Season 3 is a big disappointment. The earlier seasons were awesome! Heroes .. Heroes is GOD. Can’t say anything more than that, its my favorite show.

Ah Heroes, yes I am late with that one and am only now getting season 1. Same with Prison Break S3, have not started watching it yet.
One show that I like and didn’t mentioned in the post is Californication. funny and very naughty

I definitely find Lost and Heroes as the best american shows.
I do also enjoy Conan O’brien’s

heh… haven’t watched any of the one’s you do.
Love Heroes, Prison Break and Lost. Other than that all my other faves have been cancelled at one point in time.
Loved 24 until last season.
