• Thursday’s Studio 60 on the sunset strip
• Tonight’s Robin hood
• Next Thursday’s Men in Tree (Lynn Douchbag notwithstanding)
• Wednesday’s Ugly Betty (Posh Spice!!!)
• The rest of Angel Season 5 (Illyria! Werewolf girl! More Spike! Spike and Angel in Italy!)
• More Dawson’s Creek season 4 (despite the carcrash prom episode which is looming)
• Bones (DB)

I also just watch David Boreanaz’s dictorial debut and listened to the commentary (I am a bit of a commentary geek – I can’t get enough of them!).

Bones Season 3 premiered on Sky last night AT LAST so I can get my Booth and Brennan fix on a weekly basis once again without having to trawl YouTube for inferior quality video.

• Angel Seasons 3 and 4
• That 70s Show Seasons 1 – 8
• Robin Hood Season 1
• Lost Seasons 1 – 3
• 24 Season 6
• Bones Seasons 1-3
• Dark Angel Season 1 and 2
• Friends Seasons 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
• Men in Trees Season 1

I am sure there are more. Clearly, I cannot get all these. It would be obscene and I can’t afford it anyway. But how to choose? I may have to start with Angel because I bugs me not having the full set.

I am looking forward to a night in front of the TV with 100% of the control of the remote.  I intend to watch X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Robin Hood – the whole shebang.  I may even order pizza!

I have recently been getting a daily dose of Dawson’s Creek (season 3) and Angel (Season 4) which are some of my favourite seasons of TV.  HOWEVER.  About Dawsons:

• Why oh why is Joey’s love interest (the one that isn’t Pacey) so wet and unappealing.  It is really annoying and insulting to think that she would even bother to look at him when he so very BLAH.
• Is the whole fish restaurant storyline meant to be exciting and interesting?  I cannot FF fast enough through that shit.

And about Angel:

• What happened between Charisma Carpenter and Joss Whedon for him to so royally screw up the whole Cordelia character and evil plotline (even though it isn’t really her, it meant that Charisma had to be a bitch which is not nice to see) and then comatose her until one single episode in Season 5?  I would love to be a fly on the wall when she read that script.
• At what point exactly did Wes go from being an irritating but quite funny geekoid to a rather ruggedly handsome but humourless stud muffin?
• Why was I sad that Lyla died?
• Am I meant to be creeped out by Gina Torres?  I will only ever see her as Anna Espinosa, I’m afraid.  Roll on Spike and season 5.

Looking forward to watching every week:

Still watching avidly:

Still enjoying very much indeed even though it’s been cancelled:

Wishing I had Seasons 4, 5, 6 and 7:

And finally, eagerly anticpating the return…:

I caught up on some TV this evening: Dirt is still quite promising as a show that will never have me hooked but is diverting and entertaining. NCIS is in a similar vain but less shocking and more relaxing to watch.

I also watched the first episode of season 6 of Smallville which has finally come to E4. I have seen some episodes/parts of episodes on YouTube so I will definitely give this season a go despite me losing interest for season 5. I feel that it should be wrong to think that Tom Welling is hot…how old is that boy? (OK so he is older than my husband and only one year younger than me! In that case he definitely is hot!). I so have a super hero complex.

Fonejacker is a show I am loving right now – basically you have one guy who makes crank calls in all different characters and that coupled with the humorous images that go with the audio make for FUNNEEEE tv.  The character Terry Tibbs is my favourite:

I have finished Angel season 2 now and I really enjoyed it after all. I forgot quite how much happened in that season. Dark Angel (the moody man, not the kick ass show) was a bit of a bore but it did mean he boned Darla which was interesting (in that he kept his soul) if a little gross (in that it will produce Connor – the worst thing to happen to AtS).

I have not yet watched last night’s Dexter which I am really looking forward to along with catching up on Big Brother (although I am losing interest the longer that stupid cow Charley is in the house – I really cannot stand to watch her anymore). Tomorrow night will bring another episode of What About Brian (still digging this Thirtysomething for the Noughtys) and NCIS (season 4). There are just not enough hours in the day.

Oh and wish me luck with that Dawson’s thing… I must be strong. I must resist.

It is for this very reason that I am not really enjoying the part of Season 2 of Angel that I am watching now (I think I have just remembered why I have not seen is that much).  Angel has fired his scoobies and is acting like a total jerk on a mission.  I like my Angel brooding yet lovable.  Not acting like a self-righteous prick.  I must perservere because the episodes are actually pretty exciting.  I was watching last night and ended up FFing through the many Wolfram and Hart scenes – much as I like a bit of Lindsay and Lilah, scene after scene of their scheming and machinataions is a bit dull.  But let’s be clear on something.  I still LOVE Angel.  The man and the show.

I am looking forward to her real eviction because she is not going to win.  That is 100% certain.

I have been watching the first few epidoses of Angel Season 2 following my recent purchase of the DVDs.  I forgot how much I really love this series.  Buffy will always be my favourite of the two (in fact, Buffy could be my favouite series full stop) but Angel is a worthy spin-off.  Season 2 is also the season I have seen the least so it is nice watching it not quite remembering what happens next.  Wes is really coming into his own, Cordelia is becoming a real champion in her own right and Angel is, of course, brooding and sexy and nobel and a little flawed and all that good stuff that makes him pretty cool.  Gunn is not my favourite character – I never really warmed to him even at the end but at least he has gotten over himslf even to be tolerable.

I am still digging:

What About Brian – a guilty pleasure
Dexter – it was cracking again last night – I am still very much a fan of this show albeit only two episodes in. 
Scrubs – Season 6 has just started on E4 so we are watching that – it is weird that Turk is a dad and JD will be one but I still love the show.
My Name is Earl – We had stopped watching My Name is Earl but now the third season is back on E4, we watched a couple of episodes over the weekend – it makes perfect filler – light and funny with likeable characters.

Things ready to watch:

NCIS (episodes from Season 1 and 4)
Dirt – I have the first episode to watch and the second is tonight – not sure if I will like this or not.
The Simpsons – random episodes

We watched You, Me and Dupree which was enjoyable and funny.  And had Owen Wilson (although he is definitely not on my list – I made the right call there).  We also watched Aeon Flux which was much better than expected.  I had fairly low expectations since it did not get great reviews but I really liked it.  I am a bit of a sucker for a film that looks beautiful.  Plus I have pretty low standards when it comes to films.  I liked Doom.
