Catching up on TV
Oct. 13th, 2008 12:47 pmBeing home on the couch for a few days has given me time to watch lots of stuff on TV. A few thoughts:
1. Criminal Minds, thus far, really IS as good as Bear & Bull say it is. I picked up the S1 DVD and am really enjoying it. So is Mike, who normally doesn't like cop shows. His take: "wow, they're catching the criminals by being smart, rather than by lying to them and bullying them!"
2. Project Runway: Not only does Kenley come off like a bitch throughout the season, which might be partly the editors' fault, but she apparently has no friends! Tim Gunn goes and meets everybody's family and friends every season, and Kenley doesn't introduce him to a soul. I get that living in NYC means maybe not having your family nearby, but you don't know anybody who wants to meet Tim Gunn? WTF.
3. Project Runway, continued: Do these people not watch the show? They ALWAYS give you an extra challenge when you arrive in NYC for fashion week. Just budget the freaking extra time, people.
4. Cutting the reruns of sitcoms to make them shorter makes them LESS FUNNY. Stop it. (Fortunately I have Scrubs on DVD, so don't have to watch the chopped-up versions on Comedy Central, but it would be nicer if they would knock it off.)
5. Jaws never gets old.
