Er, don't expect anything profound...

James Spader's "The Blacklist" has just received a full season pickup. I was a little bit alarmed by some of the Canadian shenanigans in Ep 2, but Spader is wonderful!

I'm watching Sarah Michelle Geller's "The Crazy Ones". Yeah, never been a Robin Williams fan, and not sure this is her niche, but I LOLed a few times in Ep 2, and..."Mad Men's" Bob Benson! :-)

Tried "Trophy Wife" and barely made it thru Ep 1. Deleted series from DVR. It just doesn't have anything for me.

Hanging in with "The Michael J. Fox Show." Nice and harmless? I definitely support MJF's return to television.

Tried "Ironside." No. And I've always adored Blair Underwood.

I proclaimed that I would not watch "MasterChef Junior." I'm watching it. Even though it's humiliating to see pre-teens cooking better than I ever will...

"Agents of SHIELD" is holding my attention and entertaining me. ♥ Coulson.

New season of "Top Chef" is just underway. Always appointment TV for me. New Orleans this season.

New Season of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations "Parts Unknown" is 2-3 episodes in. Always educational. He's done Jerusalem and New Mexico so far, and whatever I may have forgotten...

NCIS Ep 2 was painful to watch. I imagine Tiva fans will be preserving their DVR copy for eternity... Still hanging in for Mark Harmon and Illya David McCallum. I'll be interested to see where they go sans Ziva. For me it's always been all about Harmon and McCallum, or I would have stopped watching years ago...

♥ Coulson!

I don't give a crap about the "pretty young thing" Hollywood casting baby!agents, but as long as Coulson keeps getting a kick out of popping out of shadows and bitching about using coasters, I am so there.

Saw the very first "Blacklist" last night.....Spader is sublime as always and I actually think I might have found a female lead I quite like....already can't stand the handsome blond male FBI agent but hopefully he might grow on me....

Don't like S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm afraid....was bored halfway through and switched over....Jim is enjoying though...it's his "thing" not mine...


Top Chef!..I'm envious...we keep getting repeats and no new ones..*pouts* and I hope we will get Bourdain...I worship the ground he walks on....



Jim tries to remain spoiler free on NCIS ....I don't watch, never have...


I'll stick with Blacklist as there's not much on Fridays and it's a good time to sit and watch..


Now I'm off to shower and put a face on.....I'm off to snuggle my own Daniel Jackson...LFCC with Family Shanks!!...squeeeeeeeee


oxoxoxoxo

I think there's a bulb out! LOL

Family Shanks -- YAY!

Did you get last season's Bourdain? It was the first season of his new show for CNN.

[discodiva76]

Shanks was GORGEOUS!!...I got hugged, kissed & snuggled....and from Lexa too...:)


I have some (I think) GREAT photo ops but might not upload until tomorrow...I'm going back for MOARRRRRRRRRR tomorrow too!!!..:P :P

*squees for youuuuu* :-D

[discodiva76]

And in answer to your Bourdain question...No...we've not had any new stuff since No Reservations...*pouts*...

NCIS S11e2 was a little all over the place [partly because they could not run Cote's arc out over half a dozen eps, they way they did when they wrote Kate out], but I was totally charmed by the Tony/McGee moments. Genuine affection there!

I watch the show for Gibbs and Ducky, pretty much the same way I watch NCIS:LA for Hetty. So at least they wrapped up the dangling plotlines as well as they could. And points for no fridging!

[sid]

All the points! Doing that twice would've been o_O

"McLoving you from afar." :-)

I've been enjoying the Blacklist, and hoping Agents of SHIELD grows on me. I am enjoying Melinda May.

I've been meaning to check out The Crazy Ones.

I haven't been hearing good things about Ironside. I'm kind of sad about that.

[sid]

Ironside I just found boring. I loved the original, but I'd probably find it boring today, too, lol. Blair Underwood is handsome and a dynamite actor, but he didn't do it for me here.

[skieswideopen]

Yeah, life's too short for boring TV. It's too bad!

NCIS Ep 2 was painful to watch. I imagine Tiva fans will be preserving their DVR copy for eternity...

I deleted it from my DVR unwatched. I knew it would be painful to watch, and it's much easier to stay in denial when you don't have the visuals and dialog stuck in your head.

I'm actually looking forward to a change, and not just because I've never really been a fan of Ziva, and Tiva made it worse. I would imagine a real team like this would have had changes pretty often, especially the field personnel. The show has danced around Tony still being on the team when he should be a team leader by now, and actually was and apparently good at it when Gibbs was gone.

I don't want actors to leave, but I think they as well as some of TPTB have gotten too cozy. A little shake up, especially if they tone down the "spy" type stuff they've been relying on way too much, could be good. I've been saying for years a bit more back to basics with "dead petty officer" cases would be nice.

[sid]

It bothers me that none of the characters have really evolved from where they were years ago. Well, it doesn't bother me much, because I don't take the show seriously. *g* Dead-Petty-Officer-of-the-Week would suit me fine.

THEIR LOVE IS CANON!!!!
