I was just posting a comment on LunaChick's blog. She was writing about how much she liked Entourage. It really is a brilliant show. Entourage, is supposed to be based on Mark Wahlberg's life. It's also been called the "Sex in the City" for men. Beverly D'Angelo as Barbara is the perfect foil for Ari. Good to see her working again. You know, so few meaty parts for women of a "certain age."
Deadwood is another favorite. The second season was a bit rough. The dialogue was as difficult to understand, which made following the plot nearly impossible. But this season, it's slowed down the delivery and once again becomes one of my "not-to-be-missed-or-tivoed" shows.
Remember Ozzie Osborne's reality show? Now Gene Simmons (KISS) has his with his family, "Family Jewels." He's been with former Playboy covergirl Shannon Tweed (of those cheapy soft-core porn of the 70s/80s). They aren't married, andthey have a 13 year old girl and a son, 17. The son, Nick, is incredibly funny and witty beyond his years. It's a very entertaining half hour. Even MyMan enjoys it, and he normally scorns all reality tv.
I am also enjoying "Three Moons Over Milford" on ABC Family, and Eureka on the Sci-Fi channel. And a former Showtime series that I never got to see since we've never gotten that station - Dead Like Me. I'm looking forward to returning to the island on Lost this fall, and a new show, Jericho, looks intriguing.
I saw The Night Listener yesterday. I could have waited for it to come out on DVD. The promos for it said that just when you think you've figured it out, there is a twist. Well, I figured it out, then I tried to come up with the twist. It was what I figured in the first place, and not all that surprising. There are so many movies coming out in the next few months that look good. I know I won't see them all. Guess that's what Net-Flix is for. V for Vendetta is next on my list, as per LunaChick's recommendation.

How about the X-Files? or Misty3000? Miss those.
LOST is definitely something I could get into-seen it a few times-it was good.
For reality tv? Ever see Dog the Bounty Hunter? I find It's so odd that they actually incorporate religion into their job. He thinks he's the bomb, and she kills me. That's my guilty trash tv pleasure.
Chapelle kills me too-so talented and clever-to bad he couldn't handle the pressure-that show was too good.
Nope, sorry, I can't get into Dog...but I will cop to liking similarly goofy shows: Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, My Fair Brady, Janice Dickerson (about as class-less as you can get), Rockstar, World Series of Pop Culture, and yes, even Laguna Beach. I, who used to scoff at reality series, have been seduced by the dark side.
What was Misty 3000? Yes...I was an X-Files ho...I mean fan. :) And I really miss Northern Exposure. I cried during the very last episode. It felt like I was saying goodbye to a whole bunch of dear friends. And how about Twin Peaks?
I forgot all about Mystery Theater 3000! That was so good while the creator/first host was on it. And hoo boy, Red Planet WAS a stinker.
Hi TM,
I love Entourage. Very funny and well done. I also like the L Word, Iron Chef America, Hell's Kitchen, House, Criminal Minds, Survivor Man, Medical Incredible, Dr G Medical Examiner, Stories of the ER. I also like Dog the Bounty Hunter like Luna Chick. Thats some of the shows we watch in our house!
