TV: What are you watching tonight?

[diebitter]

I really don't watch TV by free choice, apart from a chat show where they have someone I want to hear talk. My wife watches these shows about British haunted houses a lot of evenings, and they are actually pretty cool.

I do watch TV shows when they come out on DVD though - I prefer no ads, and like to watch a series from start to end. I usually watch a serious series and a funny series in parallel.

Watching Battlestar Galactica Season 2 at the moment, and it's pretty good. Oh and South Park season 7, which is a good one too.

Last night we watched the end of Medium (which goes from being interesting to being silly and back again depending upon the episode) and Grey's Anatomy. I am very tired of G's A, but my wife still loves it. I mostly can't stand the music in the background because it all sounds so "important" and pretty much the same.

I thought the series started to go downhill with the bomb in the chest cavity episodes. But perhaps it was much earlier than that.

Still, my wife and I don't have that much time to sit together after our daughter goes to bed so I'll put up with it.

I watch all four NBC comedies, although I only got around the watching The Office and Scrubs last night; the rest on my DVR. I still tape The OC, but haven't watched in a while. I have a bunch saved up that maybe I'll get around to soon.
I also watch PTI on ESPN most evenings.

It's funny you should mention the music because last night it was particularly annoying to me.

I'm trying to figure out what they are doing wrong with that show. Is it too many characters you think? Is it that the storylines are preposterous? Like aren't these people just interns and if so why do they have so much responsibility given to them? Another annoying thing is the close ups of the actors faces. I'm pretty sick of seeing Christina and Meredith and George with that dumb expression on their bewildered faces.

Anyone else think the Christina-Burke thing is annoying?

Do you think Grey's lived up to the build up from their promo (see below)? Last nights episode was the first of a 3 episode story arc dealing with the ferry accident. Did it grab you?

I watched Tender Mercies on TCM last night after watching the NBC sitcoms. Robert Duvall is fantastic, and Tender Mercies is a great movie.

Let us know what you thought of last night's episode of The Office. It had some hits and misses.

Not one of the better episodes but it had it's moments. Micheal was at his cringe inducing worst in this one. He's over the top and clueless. We get that. But sometimes (like this week) he's just irritating beyond reason.

My main joys from the office are the background players. Jim playing Dwight was well done as usual. Creed (one of my favorites) switching cards on the gift was perfect. Kevins band is a hoot. Oscar with another toaster. All these things made me laugh. Micheal just needs to be toned back a bit. His character is decent premise but often it goes beyond funny to just annoying.
