Sunday night t.v. updates and such

Alright, it is official. The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency on HBO is AWESOME!! It just strikes a chord with me. This is my new "Best Show on Sunday Nights". If you haven't seen it yet next Friday night they are showing a marathon of the first 3 episodes back to back.

Amazing Race. Well, mostly I just want to say zzzzz, snore, zzzzz, boring. Wtf was all that about not keeping your bags with you? If you are that dumb you just need to go home. I like Luke and Margie but Victor and Tammy are growing on me. Those horribly RUDE twits that I can't tell apart, O. M. G.!!! Could that one get any worse? She is so nasty to every single person she encounters that I don't know why she hasn't been dumped out of a cab in the middle of nowhere and told to just piss off. Shame, shame, shame on her.

Survivor. Kinda boring too. I am torn between wanting that idiot Coach gone and wanting to see what shinanegans he will pull next week! :) I really like J.T. but somehow those genuinely nice guys get taken down by a group of weak weasels, so we shall see. I just keep wanting to yell at the t.v., "Watch your back, J.T.!!"

And the Spurs squeaked by another game! It is not looking hopeful for us in the playoffs with Manu out the rest of the season, but you never know. So long as we stay in longer than Dallas and Phoenix, that's a good thing.

DWTS - last week I truly thought LT was a goner. But no, poor DAG left the building. He really seemed like he had his heart in it. I hope Steve-O can keep learning and getting better. I can't hardly picture a scenario where that gorgeous Gilles Marini won't win. And why the hell not? Looking forward to what happens this week.

There is a new show that comes on after DWTS called Castle. It is surprisingly funny. The lead guy was the gyno in the movie The Waitress with that cute girl from Felicity. What the heck is her name? It was all the big to-do when she cut her long, curly locks. Anyhoo, she starred in The Waitress with this guy and it was one of the smartest, sweetest little indie movie ever. The girl who wrote it and also starred in it was murdered between wrapping up production and the movie's release. Isn't that horrible? I liked it enough that I have seen it 3 times. So, the guy who was the gyno in the movie has a new series called Castle. He plays Rick Castle an author of crime novels and he has boo-koos of money and a crazy mom (played brilliantly by Susan Sullivan) and a daughter. But the show is about his relationship with this female detective that he is basing a new character on. Supposedly he has friends in high places and they are letting him follow her around while she has a new case each week. It seems like the kind of thing that could get tired and predictable quick, but so far it is really good. The chemistry between the two reminds me of the beginning of the Moonlighting series with Bruce (be still my heart!) Willis and Cybill Shepard. Remember when that was good? Not towards the end when it was awful.

The Tudors started back up with a bang. It's hard to believe that it is less than 500 years since ole Henry VIII was running things. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Henry just gets crankier and more paranoid by the day. It is one of the best things on t.v. I said it before and I stand by it, I miss that little tart Anne Boleyn! She was really good.

I should quit channeling Siskel and Ebert and get to bed.

Oh!! One more thing, Biggest Loser! W. T. F.!!!!! Sione is gone. Arrrgghh, I can't stand it. I loved him. That Laura is a dumbass. I would have voted Helen out in a heartbeat. And Laura needs to think about Tara. Tara said over and over how much Sione pushed her to be better and stronger. With him gone, what will drive Tara? Did Laura just screw her partner? I can't stand it!

All done with t.v. for now. Till next time . . . .
