Pretty Day Sunny Sky
Oct. 11th, 2008 10:29 amI love the color of a fall sky. Today it is a robin egg blue with no signs of clouds. The temperature is a little cool but that means that later in the day it will be really nice. It is a good day for outside work and I think I am going to put out our Halloween display that I can then add to it as we get closer to the day itself.
Some thoughts on the new Fall Season (now with more writers!)
Chuck and Pushing Daisies are like putting on a comfortable pair of slippers. You know you missed them terribly when you put them on. I like that the stakes on Chuck are only known to a few on the show while everyone else assumes that Chuck can go back to his life or make his life a better one based on what he did. It is also a nice mix of types of spy tropes with Chuck's life at the Buy More.
Pushing Daisies is just as twisted as ever but I really want them to get Olive back to the Pie Hole. I like that the danger of discovery to Charlie is upped since her aunts are no longer shut ins. Peter said (for this past week episode) when they found the car he hoped it was really a clown car and he was rewarded with one of those visuals that work so well for that show.
Sarah Conner is building to something and I will be interested how they sort all the threads out. It just seems to me that just about everyone and everything is jumping from the future into the past. It use to be hard to do but now they seem to have found a fricking TARDIS.
Desperate Housewives did a good thing by jumping forward 5 years given us both new back story and new situations. I like how some things haven't changed while others are radically different. Best prime time soap opera of the season.
Heroes is trying to change its focus and regain its audience which has been dropping off quite a bit. Like Sarah Conner we are traveling back and forth in time which isn't really working any better for Heroes and is leading to some serious confusion in my brain. And are they trying to redeem Sylar or is that my imagination?
House is still good but this season feels very incomplete at this point. I am hoping that as it goes on, it sorts itself out. I can't judge last season which was bothering me because of the writer's strike cutting it short. But I feel like there are now too many doctors in the House.
Boston Legal is in its last season and it is just as loony as ever. There are some mighty fine performances on that show.
Smallville should just go rename itself "Lois and Clark" and get it over with. Did we see this series before?
As to the new shows, well I am not watching many of them. Fringe hit my gross meter pretty hard and I find it un-watchable. I tried Medium but I like Psych so much better. I watched the first episode of "Life on Mars" and plan to continue to do so since it did engage my interest. I just wish I could see the original version of the series because I have heard that it was just brilliant.
I am grateful for the ability to tape and watch these shows on my schedule.
