What Are You Watching

[Matthew]

The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The first show of the series. My favorite line, by Lou Grant: "You know what? You got spunk... I hate spunk!" Hilarious

'White Heat'

Unlike kinuta, I've enjoyed this. Lots of dramatic cliches - former flatmates meeting up to remember a wild past, a tendency to want to reference every political and cultural event of the time, the 'difficult' father-son (and father daughter) relationship. But it's kept me interested.

Yes, it's historical costume drama, but...at least there are no icebergs. Yet (I've only got to episode 3).

Local Hero was on KQED tonight. I never get tired of watching it.

The first four episodes of Frank's Place - a great forgotten show. Many thanks to a friend.

Based on the previews for Touch I decided not to watch it. Plus I really hate Kiefer Sutherland, so I avoid him whenever possible.

I don't hate Kiefer, but I did really see no merit in "24," but he's okay in "Touch" for me. It's a bit of a hokey set up show, but it is quite sweet in its way, showing how people are connected and showing bravery and kindness. I like it.

The Big Bang Theory - Season One

[jazzbo]

Rewatching this one.

I'm not a big 007 fan

[jazzbo]

Me either. Jive-ass BS. Like the books a lot.

I'm really liking "Dollhouse" a lot better this time around.

The Partridge Family: The Complete First Season. Danny Bonaduce & Dave Madden have to be one of the funniest tandems ever. This would get me kicked off the Hoffman site, but I like the Partridge Family more than the Monkees.

PS: WTH??? Music by Benny Golson? I never realized...

Frank's Place - Episodes 5, 6, & 7

[A Lark Ascending]

Just finished 'White Heat' which got better and better as it went on. A very moving ending.

[jazzbo]

Finally bought this on DVD. Wish there were a second season.

Getting ready for a 3 hour TV "marathon" - The Killing, Mad Men, The Good Wife starting in 7 minutes.

[jazzbo]

I'll at least be watching Good Wife and Mad Men, may be watching The Killing tomorrow. But three good shows one night!

Buffy - season 4

[BruceH]

Anyone catch "Mad Men" last night? Excellent episode! I love that Don hates the 'burbs now. Who'd have thought that Ken would start writing science fiction stories? And the fight was great. I figured Lane would win, despite the difference in ages. With a father like his, he'd have to have learned how to take a few punches.

It was a good episode. I loved Pete getting knocked down a peg or three!

I loved the little exchange between Roger and Don, and Don drawing the curtains.

[jazzbo]

Again. . .it's so good!

The dvd from the Ray Charles Complete Atlantic box.

Absolutely sublime.

And the whole bit with the plumbing!
