My TV Musings

Survivor premiered this week and one contestant, Russell Hantz, is calling everyone stupid because they are willing to ally themselves with him. He chose one of his teammates to be voted out because she suspected that he wasn’t being truthful in his alliances. Can he fly under the radar for many more weeks [...]

I have enjoyed this edgy cop drama. Loved learning more about each character with every new episode. Early on I hoped Jaimie would dump her attorney boyfriend for the ever-so-hot Logan with whom she had a very steamy relationship. Even Dylan McDermott grew on me over time, so it was nice to [...]

The long-awaited new series, Stargate Universe, starring Robert Carlyle, will premiere on the Syfy Channel on October 2. I hope it will live up to the standards of its predecessors, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. The premise is that a team of researchers boards a failing Ancient vessel with no way to gate [...]

Since NCIS is spinning off a new series, NCIS-Los Angeles, I took advantage of the marathon that USA ran today of the original NCIS series. I had given up on them a couple of years ago, but now that I’m back in touch with them again, maybe I’ll see if I can’t add both [...]

Having just seen the one episode of Glee again I’m going to give it a try, but I still haven’t figured out if it is trying to make fun of the whole High School Musical thing or jump on its bandwagon. Perhaps a little bit of both to capture the attention of both factions? [...]

I’ve been trying out the new SyFy show Warehouse 13 lately.  It is extremely derivative of Bones and the Friday the 13th TV series, which can be a good thing since I like both of those shows.  The lead guy in this is very likeable, always joking around, but the lead female actually reminds me of Jar Jar Binks [...]

Thought I was gone for good, right?  No, I’ve been ill and it will be a few months before I’m back 100%, but I’m coming up for air feeling just a tad better today and figured some of you might actually care about the shows that I’m interested in following during August.  So, here’s what [...]

I’m looking forward to Thursdays shows even though it’s not the Must See night it has been in the past.
I’ve been watching Last Comic Standing from the beginning and I’m hoping Dan Naturman will do well this year.
But the new shows should be lots of fun too!
Fear Itself looks to be a creepy show and [...]

This episode of Eli Stone got me thinking about several new network scifi shows and what makes them interesting to watch.
Eli Stone, John Amsterdam (New Amsterdam), and Dan Vassar (Journeyman) have something in common: incidents that occur beyond their control that force them to examine their lives and how to make them meaningful.
Eli has visions [...]

I didn’t see this coming.  I knew I liked the general concept of a guy, a New York cop no less, who was immortal, but I never thought it would be so interesting.
First, the previews mention something like “watch to find out the secrets in his life” and I can’t imagine anything would surprise me.  [...]
