Home Movies: If you're not watching the reruns of this show on Cartoon Network, you are missing some of the best comedic moments on television.
Deadwood: I'm warming to the second season but I'm concerned that too many characters are now using the word "cocksucker."
Gilmore Girls: Too long of a hiatus, my darling needs more new shows.
The Office: I'm not ready to give up on it yet because there are enough good moments to keep me going.
Project Greenlight: First two episodes were fantastic but the third was kind of boring.
Lost: Where are the writers going with this show because last night's episode was dumb.
South Park: Some of the episodes consist of the most amazing satire, some are just plain stupid.

Now that you think LOST is going off track, are you ready to accept my comparison to TWIN PEAKS?
i didn't think episode three of PROJECT GREENLIGHT was boring at all. it wasn't as good as the first two episodes (mostly because at no point did i want to shout "GULAGER!"), but it was still pretty captivating.
How is Lost getting off track? I still think it's the best show on TV.
I'd like to see David Milch re-do the Golden Girls for HBO
marc,
the last 20 minutes of greenlight was better - once he started threatening to go to bob.
kevin,
i don't know - i was a little on the fence at the beginning of the show's run - for no other reason than my neurotic goal to look for reasons not to watch a show than for reasons to watch it.
then i started really getting into it when other lovers of it like balgavy and hard working larry started to be more critical of it.
maybe i was just in malaise when i watched it- maybe i was out of the habit of watching it since it had been so long since it had been on.
but sometimes i feel like nothing is ever really going to happen on that show. granted, it is nice to have this sort of ambiguous, meandering strange character study of a show but at some point something has got to happen right? lights through boxes? i don't know - i guess i can only take so much of that kind of stuff. but i did like the plane stuff. i don't know what i'm talking about anymore. maybe i'm like balgavy - i need more polar bears?
although the a-team aspect of sayid working on glasses by the fire was classic.
dan--
yeah i hear the same thing from other people, that it's moving along a little too slowly, and they'd like to have had a little more revealed by now.
i wonder if abrams is setting himself up for a fall with the pace of the show. when he finally reveals what he presumably is working towards revealing, will it seem worth it? probably not.
but for me, wondering what's going to happen is more fun than learning what happened, so that's what i like about it. but it's very likely that the points you mention will cause the show to suck in its second season. i mean let's look at alias and the rambaldi stuff.
i thought sayid's work on the glasses was more macguyver than a-team. that show is toying way too much with my emotions. there have been very few episodes after which i've felt fully satisfied.
project greenlight was a snoozefest. but i like hearing gulager say "that's asinine!"
am i really liking The Office US? i'm surprised by how often it makes me laugh.
Since darling husband yanked all the non-free cable channels, I don't have access to all of these. However:
I am really liking The Office US. This is very likely because I have not yet rented and watched The Office UK. I think I'll keep it that way for now since I prefer to find reasons to like a show and I seldom do. Wes and I think Dteve Carell is fabulous - we once watched a 15 second segment of a terrible movie (Bruce Almighty) at least a dozen times in a row because we thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen ("I like-a... do... da cha-cha." You had to be there, probably....)
Lost, which I unoriginally refer to as "I'm Lost," is a show that always makes me smile. This is because of conversations like this:
Wes: You're turning this on? But it's half over already.
Me: Yeah, that's OK. I never know what the hell's going on anyway.
We look forward to renting the whole shebang someday and making sense of it.
Dan your an idiot. This weeks Lost was the best episode since the pilot. John Locke is the bomb. Its obviously going somewhere with whatever that thing is. If you could watch these back to back to back you wouldnt be bitching. I agree that it feels stunted in an hour format with weeks long hiatus but its still great TV!!!!!!
alright, alright hater. i take it back. it is great tv! but the next time you are lukewarm about the show, i'll remind you how great it is.
i like john locke too but ... oh wait, i meant to say it is great tv. you are king.
Re: Deadwood, was the term "cocksucker" really around in the 1800s? (That's when the Old West was in effect, right?).
Re: Gilmore Girls, go see Sin City. Rory basically plays Rory, except as a prostitute.
brooklyn jim? maine jim? i'm so confused.
