So last night instead of doing what I was supposed to do on my ToDo list. I decded I deserved a break and watched a lot of TV. The Cape, Parenthood, V, No Ordinary Family, and the Good Wife.

The Good Wife was fabulous as always. V was less good than the premiere. But I really really loved the premiere, so I guess that was hard to top. The thing is just, all the sould talk, it was a bit too much for me. Too over the top. Though I did like parts of that.













No Ordinary Family was ok. There were some nice scenes, but for some reason I find myself caring less and less for most of the characters week after week.



I really like those two, though. I always love Autumn Reeser.

Parenthood is still my feelgood show. I love the fact that it isn't all about drama drama drama, but that it takes the time to be sweet and normal. For the most part. And that the people are good people. I hope that makes sense. the guy who plays Vincent in Friday Night Lights is currently in it and very awesome. It also has Peter Krause and Lauren Graham if I can tempt you.

Maybe I will just temp some people with these pictures. I hope these aren't spoilers ;)









I also watched the cape. The irst two episodes. I think I like it. It definately has promise. And I'm so happy not just to see Summer Glau again but also James Frain of Tudors and True Blood Fame. It's sort of a comic book hero story, with good actors and good effects and not too camp. I will check it out again.

Lauren Graham!!! With a guitar!!! And someone playing a ukulele! I think I may be tempted...

I'm not sure what to think of The Cape. I can't tell yet how serious the show takes itself, or how serious we are supposed to take it. But yay James Frain! And OMG, Summer Glau got even ore stunning. And it's odd to see her in a "normal" role for once, being neither mad nor machine :D

Yes yes!!! Isn't it so awesome. I think you will love the show. It's very uplifting and sweet.
And yes..the ukulele made me think of you, hence the picture post.

Ditto about the Cape. I will contiinue and see where it goes. I kept thinking Summer is Eyes Only!!!

I think I might give it a go. I really need something sweet and fluff, especially since "Mad Men" is quite the opposite of that :-) And Lauren Graham is just awesome.

And yes..the ukulele made me think of you, hence the picture post.
You're too sweet :)

I kept thinking Summer is Eyes Only!!!
ME, TOO! Thank God it's not just me. I kept thinking, "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiit a minute, I've seen this before."

Yes.. Mad Man is very hard to watch at times. I could give you of parenthood what I have.

:D

I think 100% of The Cape is a rehash of something else. Also the framing and the family believing he's dead... it seems like it's all been done before. But I do wonder how it will continue. Also I think James as baddie, thugh I love it. IT's very generic.
