A lot can happen in a month

Alias, Chit Chat, Dawsons, Dirt, Moonlight, One Tree Hill

So here we are in the new home and like all house moves, there has been a lot of packing up and organizing to do. I think I am about there though and do not fear, precious little of my TV viewing time has been affected. Since I last posted at my old blog, though, I have seen the last of some series which have been cancelled (Moonlight, Dirt), started watching old shows long since cancelled (Season 1 of Gilmore Girls and I love it) and finally started watching new seasons which have taken forever to air in the UK (hello, One Tree Hill. I have missed your fabulous ridiculousness.). I have so much to talk about, in fact, I will have to get cracking on writing some new posts!

Angel, Big Brother, Buffy, Dawsons, Dexter, Dirt, Fonejacker, NCIS, Smallville

I stumbled across an episode of Dawson’s Creek on Five US on Sunday when I was stuck inside on my own. Despite the fact that this was season 2 (and therefore Dawson and Joey are together which makes me want to vomit), I could feel the icy cold grasp of this show dragging me in. I am fighting the urge to watch it through from the beginning (again). I have Buffy in my DVD right now and was planning on starting that over from the first episode but I have been distracted by Pacey. I must be strong.

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.

Angel, Dirt, Whedon

I watched the first episode of Dirt last night and dug it. I thought Courtney Cox’s portrayal of a ruthless magazine was spot on and all the more intriguing given Cox’s own brushes with the paparazzi and trashy magazines. It was bold, quirky and took no prisoners. I am struggling to see how I will be able to relate to Lucy, Cox’x character. I am hoping that she was develop into having more sides to her than the uber-ambitious super-bitch. It is not that I have anything against a strong woman in a position of power but it is not someone I would like to spend time with. When I watch programmes, it is like I am hanging out with the characters so I end up only really enjoying shows which have likeable people who do not infuriate constantly, no matter how entertaining or interesting that may be for other people.

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.

Angel, Big Brother, Dexter, Dirt, Movie Time, My Name is Earl, NCIS, Scrubs, The Simpsons, What About Brian, Whedon

Big Brother‘s fake eviction on Friday was a big disappointment. Charley was meant to be completely humiliated but instead, her ego was massaged and she was completely untouched by the attempt at a rude awkening to her abhorrent behaviour.

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.
