This
seems as good a place as any to talk about my favorite
television
shows. So many shows dance on and off the screen
so
rapidly that I’ll have to be updating this page constantly,
but
right now, the shows I’m enjoying include Harper’s Island,
Mental,
Wipeout, Primeval, Rescue Me, The Closer, The Listener,
Kings,
Merlin, I Survived a Japanese Game Show, Saving Grace,
True
Blood, Eli Stone, In Plain Sight, Royal Pains and The Soup.
And as always, that’s just what’s going on right now.

with dark images, storylines

improbable joyride

So … what’s on the other

“Samantha Who?”, “Motherhood”
Time traveling cop show “Ashes
to Ashes” coming to BBC America
“Brothers & Sisters” is a
big pile of suds
“Lost” is an excellent show
that makes no sense whatsoever

host shine
A&E’s ‘The Beast’ is
more of the same

‘Damages’ returns with rage,
regrets, revenge
ABC’s ‘True Beauty’ could
use an ethicist
ABC’s ‘The List’ is just
unwatchable

to get re-obscured
