Wasn’t really sad to see Prime Suspect go, but I gave up early on the show–maybe after 2 episodes. Just couldn’t get into it…or that hat!
Still not a fan of New Girl–just find Jess really annoying. So this week having 2 Jesses was even worse!
Also, not really concerned about Community–that’s always been hit and miss with me as far as the episodes go. Sometimes it tries to be too clever for it’s own good. If it stays, fine, if it goes, I’m also fine with that.
Looking forward to talking w/you guys very soon. I’d say I probably watch 90% of the reality stuff that Amrie does–don’t watch Top Model or any of those Dancing/Dating/Weight Loss /Jersey/Housewives ones. But I probably watch a dozen other reality shows that Amrie doesn’t.
By the way–when was the last time you updated the Meet The Podcasters section up at the top with your current favorites?
I totally need to mainline Homeland. It started when my TV was broken so I started behind. Maybe this Saturday when it’s cold and rainy.
I love New Girl but I am convinced it;s for nerd girls and no guys like it. Well, except Jason. I loved the Thanksgiving episode because my Thanksgiving is always a family nightmare and I would LOVE to spend it with weird friends.
TAR – I kinda of love this season. The tasks are harder and not really geared towards any one team. I don’t think they are bad racers any more than in seasons past. It’s just that anyone can get lost or get a crappy cab driver. HOWEVER, I DO think that the whole lost passport thing and lost train ticket was BS. I call BS. I enjoy the seasons that have “nice” teams. I don’t like to watch shows where people are always yelling at each other.
ANTM – so glad you talked, if briefly, about Angelea that wacko hag. She can’t take criticism of any kind! Not good OR bad! She had best not win!
Rae, I am off to look at your web site!
