Random TV Babbling
Feb. 25th, 2011 12:47 pmYes, it has been a long time since I've reviewed a television show here. That's because I've lost interest in most television shows. But I recently decided to look back at a few I've given up to see if they were any better now.
House M.D. -- Is really much the same, except for the House/Cuddy cuddling, which I find less disturbing now that it has moved away from so much OCC mushiness. However, I am not a mushy Cuddy fan and I find I don't believe them as a couple the way I thought I would. So, not sure if I will start watching House again.
Supernatural -- We are back to the brotherly love at long last. And I like it. But they have turned in a couple of dog episodes the last few weeks. The Dragon one was not only ridiculous, but also supposedly launched a new villain who will make us forget Lucifer and the other angels. But we saw so little of her that it was ultimately meaningless for us. Sadly, SPN has gone from the meticulous plotting of Kripke to the industry standard of start and stop plotting. They come up with something that could be a cool idea, but let it falter and go in another direction for ages. Then they write off the old plot and try again.
American Idol -- I wrote that I liked the new judges. I do like them. But it seems they are as tone-deaf as the previous judges were. They repeatedly sent singers with extraordinary voices home the last two episodes and kept singers that croaked like frogs with head colds. I just don't get that. But I do see the writing on the wall for me turning off the show in the middle, once again, because the singing is so very awful.
Murdoch Mysteries -- HA! Bet you weren't expecting this one. And I think I will put it under a cut so I don't spoil people who haven't seen any of S4 yet. ( Read more... )
That's what I've been thinking about what I've watched this week.
